Would a Romney Inaugural Ball be Alcohol Free?  

If memory serves, James Earl Carter had quite a few alcohol free events at the White House. There were a few low grumbles about it, but who turns down an invite to the White House?

If Mitt Romney is elected he gets to have what ever kind of Inaugrual he wants.

Besides, I doubt if I'll be invited.

Speaking of invites to the white house, once upon a time I was a highway contract route mail carrier. That's a mailman who is not an employee of the USPS, but an independent contractor. Anyway, a whole bunch of people on my route got invites to one of the Clinton Inaugurals. That was curious for 2 reasons.

1) There was no one on my route of political importance. How come maybe 2 dozen got such invites?

2) Why did the invites not get to our Post Office in time for them to be delievered so that anyone could actually make the inaugural?

Being busy, I just let these questions linger in my mind until a letter to the editor in the local paper condemed the USPS for screwing up and preventing a nice lady from attending the inaugural.

That got my curiosity going. I contacted one of my customers who received one of these invites and asked to see it. He let me have it.

Here's what I found out. The thing was a scam being run by the democratic party. I already knew the invites were mailed too late for anyone to receive them on time. Here's what also was suspicious. The actual invites did not have the receiptents name on them. They were generic invites. Also, included were brochures and order forms for Inaugural memoriablia with the proceeds going to the democratic party!

So, it was not an invitation at all. It was a solicitation for funds from previous democratic donors disguised as an invitation to the white house carefully mailed late so as to be useless and not having any name on it anyway.

This is how political parties operate.
