"Have a brew. Doan' cost nothin'."

It sez here that the President of the United States has invited Professor Gates and the cop that (entirely justifiably) arrested his butt to the White House in order to "have a beer."

(I'm not the only one who thinks him a bit of a twit.)

I'd like to be a fly on the wall.

Appropos of boots, one tries to imagine what it would have been like if Former Senator, Now-President Blutarski had made the same invitation. (The first 40 seconds will do, but there's no harm in watching the whole thing....)
