| esident Barack Obama spoke at Saturday night's Alfalfa Club dinner in Washington poking fun at himself and fellow leaders. The annual black-tie banquet is an exclusive gathering of many of Washington's business and political elite. "You've heard it from the pundits: 'Obama is cloistered in the White House.' 'He's aloof.'

Yes, Palin looked beauty-queen elegant in her black floor-length gown with matching shawl and, no, I don't know whether she bought it at her beloved Anchorage consignment shop. Unlike Obama, Palin did not get a chance...

"Now this hasn't been reported yet, but it was actually Rahm's idea to... |

The treated effluent would be used on the agricultural land to water alfalfa. The district's effluent is now going into Piute Ponds, a manmade water fowl refuge, but the excess effluent is overflowing onto Rosamond Dry Lake bed, threatening... |
