President Obama had fun with the Mavs

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — President Barack Obama had some fun poking fun at the Dallas Mavericks when they visited the White House today.

The President delivered one zinger after another. It was as if he was at a roast, and all bets were off as to what he could say about the Mavs — albeit was all in good fun.

Holiday lights and candles flicker in every room, bringing a glow to Mavis collection of African-American angels both small and near...January 25th, 2012 by Admin | Comments Off

It is Friday. Carnival season began the day before. King cakes have popped up all over the place, the glorified cinnamon buns shot through with cream cheese and coated with purple, green, and yellow sugar. Served in triangular slices, they mark the arrival of carnival season. A small seed sits inside each one: a plastic baby, the sign of good luck, whose owner quickly understands the obligation to bring King Cake to the party the following year, and possibly...January 25th, 2012 by Admin | Comments Off
