Audrey Hepburn’s Givenchy couture collection sold at auction, Daily Mail
If I had an extra $450,000 to spend, this collection would have been fun to own.
The Teapublican Moment, The Next Right
Patrick has some good points about the Tea Party movement and Republicans, namely GOP establishment types will use them to get re-elected and pretend 2008 never happened. Sad but true. Republicans never seem to learn their lesson.
W.H. Nixes Receiving Line, Politico
I saw this last night but in my sickness haze didn’t feel up to writing and Hot Air linked to it. You’ve got to wonder just how stupid the Obama Administration really is. Climategate is causing a few embarrassing moments for the Prez, the stimulus isn’t working, the jobs summit was a joke, and Obama is now as popular as that dreaded Sarah Palin.You’d think the Obama Administration would work double-time to keep the media, their biggest ally, in the tank. Why piss off the media and change their beloved Christmas party? Reporters make next to nothing, work crazy hours and live in constant fear of getting laid off. The only thing going for them is Obama-worship and adding another photo to their “Me Wall.” Obama can’t take a few minutes to pose with his most ardent supporters this holiday season?
Note to Michelle: it’s common courtesy to send out invitations ahead of time and to invite everyone. Don’t be selective with the guest list at Christmas. Perhaps you should spend less time in the garden or hula hooping and pay a little more attention to the job the First Lady is actually supposed to do. This administration is nothing short of an amateur joke. Wonder what to give the First Lady that seems to have everything? A copy of Emily Post might help her.

Two of my favorite conservative women meet up. I would have loved to witness that conversation.

I’ve Left My Church, Radical Womanhood
A new church plant is coming to Arlington, which is one of the most “un-churched” areas around here. After spending a year with friends at the Embrace Church plant in Chattanooga, my prayers are with this team. I never ever dreamed I’d be part of a church plant team. It’s one of the hardest and most wonderful things I’ve ever done.

Just read this. Absorb it and acknowledge that we’re in the midst of some type of technological revolution.

“Perhaps you should spend less time in the garden or hula hooping and pay a little more attention to the job the First Lady is actually supposed to do.”
She was hula hooping as part of an event to promote healthy diets and activity among children. She uses her garden as an educational tool for the same purpose. It’s not like she just does this stuff solely for her own enjoyment. What is wrong with that? How is doing this any different than when Mrs. Bush held public events to promote literacy?

There’s nothing wrong with raising awareness about important issues. However, Mrs. Obama seems to be doing this at the expense of important duties as First Lady. It’s inexcusable to send out invitations late to a Christmas party. Obama has a staff considerably larger than Laura Bush’s, yet Laura Bush always made sure that the necessary actions were completed. The East Wing staff seems to be in over their heads. For example, the Obama’s gave Queen Elizabeth II an ipod, when she knowingly had received one from her grandchildren. Contrast that to what the Bushes gave her: a leather box filled with the correspondence between the Queen’s father and President Roosevelt.
I think it’s apparent that inexperienced people are running the White House. Social graces and protocol may seem silly, but they are important to America’s image and keep feathers from getting ruffled like with the White House Press Corps.
