April 30, 2006 Hello My Sweetie Pies, I wanted to tell you that I dropped in on the White House Correspondents Dinner last night, in Washington, and it was a blast! There were the 2700 attendees and little me. No one knew I was there of course, because of my heavenly ghost’s condition these days, so I took the very best seat in the house.

Comedian Steve Colbert was there. He told George W. Bush not to worry about his extremely low approval ratings since they are based on reality and “reality” has a well-known liberal bias. Everyone laughed, but George looked confused. He often looks this way, so it’s startling to hear him declare himself "The Decider.” (His “decisions” never pan out you know.) Young Steve Colbert went on to tell Bush that he, Bush, should not be worried about Iraq either because “the government that governs best is a government that governs least” and by these standards we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq. And things are going “so well” over there. That’s what Condi Rice and Dick Cheney keep on reporting, no matter how many road-side bombs go off. They constantly remain insanely positive. Steve was just hilarious. He made cracks about WMDs and the good old days when people were buying the official White House WMD story that there were WMDs in Iraq. He kidded Bush about his unpopular war, about his hurricane disasters and about his melting glacier disasters and about his vice president shooting some hunting buddy in the face. (“Cheney’s got a gun!”) It was gala! And so glamorous too, everyone all dressed up! (Me too, I was wearing my heavenly sequined gown, twinkling away all evening. It’s just a pity that ghosts, such as I, are invisible!) So, sweeties, if you don’t hear from me in a while, don’t worry. I’m going to be doing lots and lots of traveling in the ensuing months. I’ll be thinking of you though. I love you all. Take care. Love, Your Grandma Minutia
