It's not all bad news here today: that Angry Black Bitch and I went to the Mayor's Inaugural Ball last night! Here we are with Mayor Francis Slay last night -->

He was such a doll to us, considering we weren't actually invited. See, an invitation came addressed to some lady who used to work here. So I called them up and said, "She's gone....but can I come...and bring a guest?" They foolishly said yes!!!!!!!

We headed on over to the Museum of Old Shit & Stuff and I have to admit that while it wasn't the craziest party I've ever been to...it was one of those events that made me very proud to be a Democrat.

There were lots of handsome men of distinction, frightfully thin white ladies with sparkly, glittery handbags and a healthy dose of women who'd just had their hair did and Grandmas in their Sunday's Best.

Everybody was having a good time and the mix of ages, races and backgrounds made me feel, for a brief moment in time, that the things that on-the-surface seem to divide us, can be conquered and overcome, as long as you have a buffet (which I hit first) a bar (where ABB went first) and some frozen custard (which we both enjoyed).

Democracy is at its best when it comes with a flexible guest list and a healthy dose of carbs, booze, glitter and grandmas.
