President Obama decides to forego the dumb Gridiron Dinner. His reasons were good, unfortunately. His kids are on spring break, and the family will probably in Chicago.

I'd rather he'd just told them to stuff that hoity-toity elitist self-congratulatory insider Villager "ain't-we-grand" fab fest wherein the media-plutocrats are entertained by the nation's top politicians as they lose all dignity and abase themselves to suck up to High Opinion.

When they're not doing that, they're yucking it up together over Iraq jokes -- "Nope, no WMD's over here!" Heh.

Strike a blow for democracy, Mr. President! Next year, don't bother to have a good excuse. Just say, "No thanks. Michelle, the girls and I are going out for deep dish pizza instead."
