"Education is when you read the fine print. Experience is what you get when you don't." Pete Seeger, Singer and composer
What could be a better time to have an Easter egg roll on the south lawn of the White House on a dreery, melancholy, rainy Monday morning. Perhaps its a symbol of hard times at 1600. Rummy is boo'ed. George's ratings are in the trenches of Iraq. Dick can't play with his balls and when he shoots he hits his best friend in the face nearly killing him. Maybe, there is a gloomy cloud lingering over the mansion on Pennsylvania Avenue, NW this morning. Bolton takes his post today and he's supposed to be entering the front door with a pink slip or two. So perhaps, kids wearing yellow rainslickers rolling easter eggs in mud might make for a bit of convenient distraction.
