Al Carlson is drafting a bill requiring all you an eat salad bars come with terms and conditions. It's the law and it's called the fatty bill.
    Salad bar?

    SO does anyone know the Rob Port White House Christmas ornament story? I would love to know what that was about. I heard he fabricated an incident to write a story and he got caught...is it true or just an urban legend?

    There was a copy of some book on a White House self that Porterhouse used as evidence of Obama's ideology. Unfortunately the book has been there for decades.

    It appears you're conflating two stories. Around five years back, the Obama White House sent out a bunch of old ornaments to community groups to refurbish and personalize. I guess they were sent back to the WH afterward and hung on the tree(100+ of them). Apparently they weren't inspected all that well, and a few odd ones snuck through. Like one with Obama's face superimposed on Mt Rushmore, and different one with Mao's face pasted on. Someone noticed later and the conservative news shows and bloggers like Porty-boy had a field day.

    The other story that is more directly linked to our friend in Minot had to do with a tour he took of the WH. While in the WH library, he noticed a few old books with titles referring to communism, socialism, and the populist party. He snapped a photo of the bookshelf. He then asked the tour guide who was responsible for the library and was told the first lady(that wasn't exactly what he was told, but we'll get to that later). He then comes home and blogs that Michelle Obama is putting socialist and communist literature in the WH library.

    The problem was that it wasn't true. The books were on the shelf, but everything else was wrong. The tour guide was talking about the last major renovation and restocking of the library which was overseen by First Lady Jackie Kennedy way back in the early sixties. (The library goes back to the 1850's.) Also, the books on the shelf were surrounded by books about democracy and American political parties. Most of the socialist books had titles like "The History of...". In other words, this was a shelf of the library dedicated to the history of political parties(all types) in the US. An actual news site checked out the copyrights of the books. The most recent was 1976. Most dated back to the fifties and early sixties. When Jackie restocked the library in the sixties, she asked a noted university professor to select a variety of books that would fit the purpose of a (political) library. A couple thousand books were added at that point. Administrations add to the library from time to time(I suspect most are unsolicited donations), but I doubt it's a big priority.

    The major news services that ran with the original story blaming Michelle Obama printed retractions. Porty-boy posted a half-hearted reply trying to pin most of the blame on the tour guide.
