Tonight is the Correspondents dinner?

[samplegirl]

Not much talk about it????

[jberryhill]

1. A correspondence dinner?

Sounds like an interesting idea... everyone mails someone else a dish, and they all eat at home. Like correspondence chess games.

[OldHippieChick]

4. I think perhaps

"correspondents'" was intended.

[jberryhill]

9. It sounds like a cool idea though

Like a progressive dinner for the Amazon generation. One group orders the appetizer for the others, another the entree, the dessert and so on, and delivery is scheduled in order via Uber.

Everyone eats at home and has a group videoconference going on their phones.

IMHO, smaplegirl has stumbled into the next internet start-up idea here. I’ve seen plenty worse.

13. It would make doing housework

easier before guests arrive. This way you just have to clear the area near the computer!

[jberryhill]

15. I'm telling you, we're going to make a fortune on this!

[OldHippieChick]

16. LOL! I'll leave

all the profits to you, but I may make suggestions as you flesh this idea further.

[jberryhill]

17. Plus

It solves the problem of having a dinner party with incompatible dietary requirements?

“Do you have an important event coming and you are wondering what to do about your paleo vegan halal gluten-free friends and family with allergies? Try a correspondence dinner!”

21. I'll bring/send the rolls.

Whoever does dessert: Could we have brownies? Please?

[jberryhill]

23. The last time OldHippieChick did the brownies...

...the US Postmaster and DEA busted three of the other diners.

[trof]

24. Aw...man?

Well THAT just sux.

2. Will it be on C-SPAN?

Who's representing the White House, if anyone?

[Kirk Lover]

8. I think it's gonna be on CNN. nt

11. Thanks.

[onecent]

27. It's on MSNBC. at 9:00

[spanone]

3. trump will be holding a rally in michigan to distract from criticism

[Brother Buzz]

10. Washington, Michigan, no less

[maryellen99]

14. It's in Macomb County not far from where Kid Rock is from nt

[llmart]

18. This district was gerrymandered...

used to be represented by David Bonior, a Democrat.

Kid Rock's probably paying for it. He and Ted Nugent make a pair and are an embarrassment to Michigan.

[trof]

22. And Atticus Finch

[trof]

25. Like at Nuremberg?

He wishes.

5. I found this

White House Correspondents’ dinner 2018: Who’s going, who’s not, when and where to watch

[tazkcmo]

26. Thanks! n/t

[HipChick]

6. It's tonight...in DC, we always used to stand outside the hotel to see folks coming and going...

[crazylikafox]

7. I hope they ignore him & not even mention his name.

Treat him like he's irrelevant. That would make him crazier than an evening full of Trump jokes.

[llmart]

12. The worst thing you could do to a malignant narcissist...

is to completely ignore him. If only the media would realize that he'd maybe just slink off somewhere and go away. Hell, if the MSM wouldn't have given him so much attention before the election we wouldn't be in this situation our country is now in.
