Ruth Bader Ginsburg invited Lindsey Graham

Ruth Bader Ginsburg invited Senator Lindsey Graham to the DC Ladies Brunch at Earls.  Lindsey isn’t sure how he should dress for the occasion.  His Chief of Staff suggested that he borrow a pantsuit from Hillary, but Lindsey is afraid one of Hillary’s pantsuits would be too big on him.  Keith Ellison said he would like to see him wear a burka.  Senator Graham, being the historian and the traditionalist that he is, is leaning toward a toga, a fitting garment, he thinks, for someone in the Senate.  John ‘Lurch’ Kerry is advising him to dress for the occasion.  Lurch said, “You’re going to be having brunch with a Supreme Court Justice at ‘Earl of Sandwich’, so you should wear traditional courtroom attire, including the obligatory horsehair wig and a gown; after all, it is a Ladies Brunch.”

Senator Elizabeth Warren and Squaw Valley

Senator Elizabeth Warren declined her invitation to host the Annual Easter at Squaw Valley Festivities. At first, she thought it was something cooked up by Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity. After she learned the invitation was legit, she did consider it, but after much deliberation, she decided that her appearance at a place called Squaw Valley might be offensive to authentic Native-Americans.

 

Easter, Good Friday and Colored Eggs

The Island on which Robinson Crusoe was stranded was actually Easter Island.  Robinson Crusoe befriended a black man, he called Friday, his confidante, and together, they were able to survive. Friday did a lot of the work alongside Crusoe. One of Friday’s main chores was to gather food for the morning, or midday meal. On one particular Friday morning, Robinson decided he wanted eggs for breakfast, so Friday went into the jungle in search of eggs.  It was a bountiful morning. Friday found all kinds of eggs; he came back with wild chicken eggs, duck eggs, pheasant eggs, goose eggs, and one large platypus egg.   He was carrying them back to the camp in a basket he had fashioned from the roots of Alder, Barberry, Bloodroot, Butternut Tree, Carrot, Lichen, and Lilac plants and Pomegranate skins.  The natural dyes from the roots and the pomegranate skins dyed the eggs in a profusion of colors.  Robinson was so pleased; he looked at his friend and said, “Good, Friday.” 

Since all of this happened on a Friday, and since the upcoming Sunday was going to be the first Sunday after the first full moon occurring after the vernal equinox, and since they were, after all, on Easter Island, they called Sunday ‘Easter Sunday’. Now you know why “Good Friday”, and why colored eggs. The parade was just Robinson and Friday walking along the beach.
