The ladies are back!

From Helen:
Margaret, several people have asked me why I havent been writing. The truth is, honey, this isnt funny anymore. Our President
scratch that
the moron currently occupying the White House just equated George Washington to Robert E. Lee. He cant understand why a memorial to the symbolic founding father of our country is different than a memorial to a general in an army that fought a failed rebellion against our government.
Mr. President, with no respect intended, I implore you to please step down. You are not qualified for the position you now hold. Quite frankly, you are not qualified to be much more than a reality TV star, a position I hold in very low regard by the way.

And from Margaret:
Helen, dear. I know Ive lived too long that when given the choice between dinner with the President of the United States and dinner with Sarah Palin, I would gladly ask Sarah to pass the peas. And I dont even like peas.
They are treasures.

It isn't funny any more. I have great respect for the comedians who can make jokes these days. We need them. They are our heroes. But nothing is funny.

I subscribe to Margaret & Helen, but this one hasn't shown up in my in-box yet. Oh, and pass the peas!
