Apparently, when politically things couldn’t seem to get more ludicrous than they already are here in the United States, a story comes out that simply is just too incredible to believe.
In a recent news report carried by the Chicago Tribune, it appears that Barack Obama decided that the menu for his 140 invited guests for a Friday night get together was to include pizza.
But not just any pizza. Pizza from a St. Louis eatery, Pi Pizza (as in pizza pie).
The White House flew the staff from the restaurant and their dough, sauce, cheese and pizza pans in order to deliver their haute cuisine personally.
In this declining economy and with Mr. Obama’s stated concerns about "global warming" and energy conservation, I wonder just exactly how big those carbon footprints were for this take out order?
And to top it all off, the Tribune reported that the owner of one of the largest pizza restaurants in his home state of Illinois was miffed that he had been snubbed in favor of the St. Louis establishment.
