Funny Jon Stewart On Weiner Sex Scandal: The Wangover Part 2

From Denny: So why does exhibitionist Congressman Anthony Weiner wonder why everyone is suddenly paying attention to him? Yes, that is the burning media question of the day.



What's more, with all his fellow Democrats piling on, who is left to defend the hapless indefensible Weiner? Well, there is always fellow Congressman Charlie Rangel. Jon Stewart does a great Rangel imitation. Though Rangel does have several good points: "He doesn't go with prostitutes. He hasn't molested little boys. He doesn't do a wide stance in an airport bathroom." Well, yeah.



Of course, this week yet more naked photos of Weiner and his proud "stance" were revealed, photos taken in the House members-only gym locker room. I wonder if those photos were from the security cameras that show Weiner taking pictures of his weener? Talk about strange.

Vintage French Basket ♥

Hi Everyone

Happy Monday

 

This weekend our family went on a picnic with friends

at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis club

complete with pink lemonade, delicious bbq chicken and deviled eggs

♥

{Love}

picnics 

 getting all of the food together

I realized we didn't have a traditional picnic basket

it broke on our last picnic

 we have baskets everywhere in our home 

so the hunt was on for the right basket for the job

This vintage white basket is

beautiful

This one is a nice size and shape

♥ this Nantucket basket

A bunch of baskets at the ready in the dining room

one with the tag still attached... oops

Here is the basket that worked the best

It is one of my ~favorites~ a vintage french basket it has a wooden bottom

 a great handle

worked perfect for the tall lemonade bottles 

it even looks cute with magazines

Even though its not a traditional picnic basket it worked like a charm

A wonderful reason to have another picnic soon
