Marie Antoinette would be proud

A big fat lump of money has been spent on a bunch of big fat lumps of lumpy fat people in black ties and dresses that don't quite fit right.

"What's HER problem now?" you might be asking yourself.

For starters, I can think of at least five things that can be done with the more than 40 million bucks that was used for the Presidential Inaugural Ball.

1) More funding for educating our young'ins

2) More relief aid sent to both South Asian tsunami victims and a couple of bucks to the mudslide victims in La Conchita, as well as the nice folks in the part of this state that FRIGGIN' FEEDS DAMNED NEARLY THE ENTIRE WESTERN SIDE OF THE UNITED STATES (the central and northern parts of California)

3) Better equipment for our military personnel (I hear that their bullet-proof vests aren't as bullet-proof as they need to be).

4) Money could be split up 50 ways and sent to each state for things like agriculture, debt relief, underwater basket-weaving classes.

5) Let us not forget about those deemed "lesser" by society... homeless children can probably use about 40 million. 40 million can buy a LOT of hot meals, lots of shoes at a big fat blue store with a yellow bouncy guy for a spokesperson, a lot of jackets at that place where a certain imprisoned diva still peddles her wares.

The money that was spent on the presidential ball, in my opinion, was a huge waste of money. I am completely disappointed with these people who call themselves leaders. It is a stinging, biting slap to the face and a kick in the balls that this money that could have funded lots of useful things was spent on a bunch of selfish, useless individuals who I am sure couldn't give a rat's ass about our failing education system, our ever growing homeless problem, the fact that Mother Earth is having the worst case of PMS that she has had in a long, long time. Our jobs are being outsourced, and our "twenty-somethings" went from making the grade, so that they can make themselves a decent life, to making their way long enough so as to not get kicked out of their parents' place for one more month.

In light of all the things that are happening in the world today, the very last thing that this president needed to do was throw a big fat party. What he needed to do was get sworn in, eat a nice, intimate dinner with friends, then get his silly ass on Air Force One and fly his ass to the tsunami victims and the mudslide areas. What he needed and should have done was STOP chasing terrorists and start doing stuff for the American people. Instead, he chose to feed people who can afford to feed themselves, chose to drink with people who tell him what he thinks he wants to hear. He chose, instead, to allow us to grow ever more mistrusting of an administration whose glory days came and went within the time span of one presidential term. It took him four years to spend countless billions on things which we have nothing to account for other than grieving families of young lives taken too soon in a war that was nothing more than one man's way of showing the world that indeed he and his band of roving marauders can seriously kick the living crap out of a bunch of people who hated us already, and now they hate us even more. Good goin', Mr. President!

Thank you, George, for fracturing my safety even more. Thank you for pissing off a bunch of people whose mission in life is not to prove that they know how to use a gun, but that they will fight to the death in order to let you know just exactly how faithful they are to their God and to their religion. Thank you, George, for eating all that sumptuous food and drinking all that expensive champagne, and thanks, most of all, for smiling with that stupid smile as you keep in your mind thoughts of how you will yet again endanger the lives of people whom you claim to have nothing more than their best interests at heart. I'm sure that in some weird and crazy place in the afterlife, Marie Antoinette is smiling largely at you right now.

Call me crazy, insane, demented, hehe, but I think that there are a lot of things that this money that paid for this big fat party could have been used for. While the Washington fat cats were "gettin' jiggy wit' it", people all over the world were wondering what the hell was going to happen next. They were wondering where they would get their next meal from, where they would lay their head to sleep, what Mother Nature was going to do next. I know that I will be getting more earthquake insurance, more flood insurance, because I know that eventually we are going to have one hell of an earthquake, and that I cannot depend on this administration to give a crap about my losses when it happens.

I think that out of all the stupid things that were done by this particular administration, this was by far the winner of the "Greedy Selfish Asshole" award.

This guy wasn't even gonna do the "let them eat cake" thing for any of us. Nope. He would be happier standing there in front of those hungry and homeless kids, those tsunami victims, those people in La Conchita, Devore, Malibu, Topanga Canyon - all over the place - feasting on his cake while ignoring their needs.
