The Corporate execs were chastised for flying to Washington on business at their respective company expense, but a one night date on us is OK?

Are there no plays performed in the DC area for their date.

Mrs Gnu and I feel lucky to be able to go two towns over for a $25 date night. How about your date night expenses?

I would think that he would lead by example. After all, he has a theatre , bowling alley etc. at his diposal right there at home.
At least Jimmy Carter had the decency to wear a sweater when he asked us, on television, to turn our heat down on our thermostats.
