We haven't even had the inauguration and already, the presidency is turning out to be traumatic for Barack Obama's daughters. It was reported on Wednesday that Sasha and Malia will "definitely have chores" at the White House, starting, and we hope, ending with, cleaning up after their new dog (yet to be determined).
We're not sure that's the most creative solution. It's not like the White House has a small suburban lawn where dog turds stand out like newly blooming crocuses (albeit, steaming ones). We all had childhoold chores, but search the White House lawn for nuggets? Location alone could take hours, let alone the walk to and from the trash can!
Our humble advice is to turn the annual Easter Egg Hunt into a White House Lawn clean-up. Think of it--there are literally thousands of inner-city kids who have deprived of one of the most treasured suburban events. It seems like the right thing to do--patriotic, inclusive, environmental.
Or let the Secret Service do it!
The Obama children shouldn't dismay too much. With great responsibility comes great rewards. There's active discussion on the political blogs that their new allowance will be pretty massive. They may for example, be allowed to pick the next Supreme Court Justice or Secretary of Education, something that sifting through turds more than adequately prepares them for.
Speaking of sifting through turds, we hope you enjoy today's NFL lineup. Definitely the most interesting game is the Arizona/Philadelphia game. Arizona wins, they clinch the division. Philadelphia needs to win to have any shot of making the playoffs. Laugh all you want. This is the weekend last year when the Giants lost to the Vikings, then started their epic run to the Superbowl.
SuperBowl odds are always interesting this time of year. Here's our best values for the money:
Indianapolis, 9 to 1
Dallas, 10 to 1
Atlanta and New Orleans, both 40 to 1
Even Baltimore and Carolina (though they have no chance) go off at 25 and 20 to one respectively.
Crazy you say? The Giants were 33 to 1 at exactly this time last year.
Enjoy your Turkey.
Happy Hunting and
Go Stuff!
