Bang for the Buck
Got a great invite in the mail at work today. Boy was it was faaannncy. The invitation was printed on etched linen paper, verbiage engraved in gold foil calligraphy. There was even a thin piece of aged tissue paper that was loving placed on top of invitation. One can only speculate that its purpose is to protect the writing from flaking or creasing.
The cliffnotes version? If you want to be in the same room as the Republican VP Nominee, Gov. Sarah Palin, the minimum "donation" is $1,000. For $1,500 more, you'll receive a lovely lapel pin to wear IF you get meet her. $15,000 on top of that will get you a chicken breast dinner for you and one friend. They will also call their calligrapher and have your name immortalized IN GOLD as a major contributor on a larger (and equally fancy) piece of linen paper that will be distributed that evening.

The only caveat is that the Republican Party would be unable to confirm - without a shadow of a doubt - that donating your hard-earned dollars would guarantee an actual meeting with Madame Nominee. That is SO out of character for them. (tsk-tsk)
Given that I'm not a lapel pin wearing kind of chick any way, I think that I'd be better off voting for Obama and saving my chicken dinner money for that 3rd eye transplant that I SO desperately need; a very necessary addition when living in Jailynland.
