I just got back from my dinner with Sarah Palin. Everything is more expensive in Alaska and dinner with unemployed drifters is no different. When I got there in my new Levi's it looked more like a tea party than a dinner, but once I sat down, things started looking up. The appetizer was sour grapes in whine sauce. This was followed by Russian Peasant soup which you could smell from Canada. The main course was crow which was eaten with zest. And for dessert, Half-baked Alaska of course. After dinner we danced the Bristol Stomp and then I left. Not worth the price.

I think jimmy somehow ended up as the dinner date with the woman who won http://www.alaskadispatch.com/blogs/palin-watch/2013-going-to-extremes-for-a-dinner-with-palin" . Yikes, jimmy, watch for low-flying frying pans when you get home!

So tell me...what's "the dude" (he's no longer first dude) really like?

Made me smile.
 
Do they really eat crows in Alaska?
 
Did you ask her who's the prime minister of Canada?
 
Dinner with Sarah? Surely they were serving bull that night.

Better yet, ask her who's the president of Africa. According to McCain's handlers, she thinks Africa is a country.

Did you see how she is wearing her hair lately? And how can she wear *that* top with those shoes!

I once tried having dinner with Sarah Palin but she got up haflway through the first course and left. How rude!

Now, Obama is great to have dinner with. He ordered everything on the menu and told me not to worry about paying because he'd put it all on his credit card.
