"The world must be made safe for democracy." (Woodrow Wilson)

.....Yesterday was Election Day for President of the Huntington Lakes Chapter of The City of Hope, and Rhoda was running for her second two-year term as President against two other candidates. Our campaign covered all the blue condos, and even some of the red ones, like Huntington Towers. Besides the blue and the red, we also had to campaign at the red, white, and blue condos, newly created in Building 36 by Mike Herbstman. He entered his wife Helen as a write-in candidate--she got one vote, but Mike voted for Rhoda. The results are in and Rhoda won by a landslide! Can you understand the problems that arise when the President has to run a meeting attended by 300 yacking women. One man came, but he was asleep. The good thing about City of Hope meetings is that bagels and cream cheese are on every table.

.....The first thing RH+ is going to do is offer a stimulus package to the gals (on my advice) for clothing vended and designed by Jason Wu, Christian Siriano, Jason Klein, and Tom Ford from Gucci. No one knows as yet if the package is going to work or not. Time will tell, and everyone has to have patience. According to the opposition, the Cancer Research Chapter, it will alter the nature of our wonderful City of Hope forever. Cal Thomas and Newt Gingrich are opposed to this stimulus package because the meetings are not opened with the words, "In God we Trust" and after the meetings, no one sings "Send in the Clowns." And they are also against it because they do not believe the women will be stimulated enough.

.....However, in the event the first stimulus package fails, there is a Backup Emergency Stimulus Token package called the B.E.S.T plan, whereby clothing venders from Walmart, JC Penney, Sears, Dillards and Walgreens will be invited to demonstrate their wares with the help of a beauty pageant of women from the Chapter who will model the clothes. Should be fun to witness that. And, of course, money will be raised which will be used to fight cancer and other deadly diseases. If none of these plans work out for the new President, then the First Man, namely me, will resign because of felony package idiocy. But with the inspired leadership of RH+, City of Hope events to raise money for little sick kids shall not fail.
