Quail, Rack of Lamb, Prime Rib, Crab and $500 Bottles of Wine

President Bush is conducting a summit with the most gluttonous powerful leaders in the world. The subject: Saving the global economy.
Throughout our country, people are suffering because of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Wall Street greedy CEOs, too much borrowing and not enough saving, buying what you can’t afford and politicians throwing hundreds of billions of dollars around, thus depreciating the dollar and providing a debt for generations to come.
Throughout the world, our economic woes have reverberated. In addition, Mr. Daschle’s ethanol scam (indicative of how easy it is for the greedy to fool America twice), while making millions for himself with winks from Barack Obama, has caused the cost of all other grains to triple in price, thanks to a corn shortage. Grains: the staple of the impoverished.
No doubt Mr. Daschle will be providing major input into our next Energy Policy. And since we won’t be drilling much, what with the election results, count on this Jimmy Carter re-run costing you even more at the grocery store while not one significant whit of foreign oil is replaced by ethanol.
The only thing missing are those sweater-clad Malaise TV chats. Look for them in the future. Perhaps Mr. Bush and his fellow oil magnates will have a good laugh about that while they pop the corks on those those $500 bottles of wine.
Yes, you heard right. Mr. Bush is feasting with his world-equivalents: All of them out of touch with reality, all of them doing very well for themselves….
….and all of them dining on a Henry VIII banquet consisting of rack of baby lamb, quail, prime rib, crab meat and wine that costs $500 a bottle.
I didn’t catch what they are having for dessert. I just know it’s not going to be jello.
This Pigs Gone Wild feast is being hosted at the White house – and will be paid for by you. Don’t expect these feasts to be more realistic under the New President either.
In keeping with their penchant for all seven of the Deadly SIns, their gout-inducing menu alone is an indicator of just how much they can all relate to the suffering of others. More likely they are all interested in their own investments and looking for ways to buy up more of America.
As you mix your meatloaf tonight, I am sure the irony in all of this will not lost on you, will it now?
