This is just getting beyond surreal.

"$2,000 meal, but no utensils

Silverware banned to prevent clinking while president was speaking."

( Here's the article, verbatim, because the Charlotte Observer website requires registration. )

Let's put a couple of those statements in bold:

The lack of utensils might have been why many plates went virtually untouched.

Gee, ya THINK?

"They're just doing it so people can eat their meals prior to or after the president's speech," said spokesman Reed Dickens, who said it's standard procedure for fund-raisers. "It's just a logistical issue. Nothing more."

Horseshit. I defy you to name me even one fundraiser you've ever heard of in your life where they RUIN THE FUCKING FOOD BY NOT GIVING YOU ANYTHING TO EAT WITH!

Behind a rope on the side of the ballroom next to many paying guests, reporters scarfed down their own buffet. It came with silverware.

Okay, hands up anybody who's surprised they decided to keep the reporters happy while giving the finger to the paying guests?

Gee.

Ken Starr got nearly five times the amount of money to investigate Brutha Bill lying about a blowjob that the 9/11 Commission is getting.

What a really big fat ol' fucking surprise that is, huh?

You're going to see this a lot of places.

But if you've ever even once been the target of any kind of bully, then this needs to go up.

I will not stand for this
