As you all may have heard (or perhaps you choose to ignore unpleasant news) the man who happens to currently occupy the White House and portends to be our President was here in Salt Lake for two days this week. Two days! Here. In this city.
My own sister, NeverNakedBeth, actually phoned me on the first day that the President was here to find out if I had gotten naked in protest? When I informed her that I had not, but then shared that what I really wanted to do was infiltrate the $30,000 a plate dinner and perhaps get a photo with him naked, she implored me to please NOT do that.
NeverNakedBeth knows me well.
Because, you see, I do have what I like to call my "invisible ticket". I have been able to make myself invisible for quite some time. It's a parlor trick I learned while I was traveling with the Grateful Dead. And if there's a venue with tight security that I want to enter, well, I just make myself invisible and walk right inside.
I know it sounds a tad implausible, but I assure you I can do this. It really isn't that difficult. You could do it, too.
So I was all set to go up to the very expensive dinner chock full of secret service agents in Deer Valley and get myself inside and then grab my opportunity to take a naked photo with the President.
Now, dear readers, I do not support our President. I have never agreed with his policies. I'm aghast most days when he even opens his mouth to speak. However, a naked picture with him? Well, that is a political statement I am more than willing to make.
But...alas...I didn't even go to Deer Valley. I didn't get naked with the President. I stayed in Salt Lake, went to the local protest, and decided that being naked with George wasn't going to happen on this particular visit.
So, this is not the naked photo I was hoping to share this particular Friday. In fact, there's another naked Friday photo I was also hoping to share, but that one actually seems even more probable than the Naked with George photo, so I'll save the details in the hopes that on a future Friday I can share it with you.
Imagine (or perhaps it is too scary to think about) a naked George with a naked Jen. Perhaps that would be the start of a new and different world, indeed.
P.S. I keep hearing rumblings that the world food crisis and gas crisis and global warming is a complete fabrication of the Democrats in order to make the Republicans and current administration look bad. Um, hello? Fabrication??? I think people need to wake up, look at the real economic factors and realize that we're in deep shit. And all of us are responsible for this. Not a single political party. Not even a single bumbling political leader. It's a global problem. Not just an American one. We must, absolutely must, acknowledge that we are all responsible and take that responsibility to make the changes necessary or it will only lead to bigger and more dramatic problems.
