Really? Mr. President, REALLY?
An ipod??
For HRM Queen Elizabeth II.
An IPOD??
To be fair, a rare autographed copy of the King and I song book (By Hammerstein himself) was also included in the gift....but really?? An IPOD??
And what's with the DVD gift set to the Prime Minister? That didn't work because the region codes are different here.
Now, granted, perhaps the Obamas aren't to blame as they have staffers to take care of the gift procuring.
Ok, fine.
But WHO DOESN'T KNOW THAT THE REGION CODES VARY?
What the fuck are they paying these people for???
If it were me, I'd be like,
"Thanks, Staff. I'll just go an do the thing that you were supposed to take off my fucking plate, my fucking self. You MORONS."
Maybe I'm spoiled. Maybe my love affair with the West Wing has me expecting our Presidents to present rare copies of poignant letters from Washington to his wife complimenting her embroidery and "unshakable intestinal fortitude" to our world's leaders.
Yet, everyday I see us moving closer to a world clad in logos and watered with gatorade.

LOL!!!! Yes, the ground is getting its fair share of electrolytes.
Welcome to Costco... I love you.
I sleep well knowing that there are valiant souls who rage against the dimming of the intellect. STAY FROSTY, SOLDIER!
