This is not a statement about janmcn's post but rather how funny it is to me that only our government and it's wonderful employees can come up with a plan to have the pres. attend a dinner and then removed the eating utensils!
I wonder if this is how health care will work, Give you health care and remove the doctors?
And just to add to this, is deterring a fork attack really outside the capabilities of or secret service?
