Remember the days when school lunch was a PB&J and a juice box? When your dad is the President-elect, you can do a lot better. 
We got the menu for the Sidwell Friends School, where Obama's daughters, Sasha and Malia, began attending today. The menu at the Sidwell will make you hungry...and extremely jealous.

Looks like the GOP's head cougar has gone from political attack dog to snotty celeb fashion critic.
In her new book, "Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and Their Assault on America" Ann Coulter slams Michelle Obama for her hairstyle and clothes. Coulter calls Michelle an obvious Jackie Kennedy wannabe with her "flipped-under hair, the sleeveless A-line dresses" and "the short strands of fake pearls."
Good news: Coulter reportedly had to have her jaw wired shut. Bad news: She can still type.

The Republican bigwig who sent out that "Barack the Magic Negro" song could end up being magically helped by the snafu -- and get his wish, the chairmanship of the RNC.
Chip Saltzman, who's taken plenty of flak from conservatives and liberals alike for sending out copies of a "Puff the Magic Dragon" spoof, is getting support from a slew of the GOP hotshots he needs to attract because of the mess, says Politico. An Alabama Republican says, "He was doing everyone a favor by giving us a gift."
A couple days ago, Peter Yarrow, the guy who co-wrote "Puff," didn't think it was such a gift.

One of the hippie trippers who created "Puff the Magic Dragon" is not so mellow with "Barack the Magic Negro," the Barack Obama-related spoof of his song.
In a distinctly un-free-loving screed on Huffington Post, Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul, and Mary says "Magic Negro" is "not only offensive, it is shocking and saddening in the extreme." He adds the song "insults the office of the Presidency" and takes a kids' song and twists it into a "vulgar, mean-spirited ... slur."
Chip Saltzman, a GOP bigshot who's being considered for the top post at the Republican National Committee, sent out the song to committee members.

Finally, the perfect stocking stuffer for Republican's dreaming of a White Christmas – a CD called "We Hate the USA" with the hit track, "Barack the Magic Negro."
It's true -- RNC candidate Chip Saltsman pimped the 41 track CD to fellow committee members to get them in the holiday spirit.
As if the RNC Kool-aid couldn't get any more bizarre, the Obama tribute is sung by an Al Sharpton impersonator, to the tune of "Puff the Magic Dragon."
The song, first spun live by Rush Limbaugh, includes the lyrics "See, real black men, like Snoop Dogg, or me, or Farrakhan, have talked the talk, and walked the walk, not come in late and won."
What's next -- "Ivory and Ebony" and "The Star Spanglish banner?"
Wait, they're on the CD too.

G. W. Bailey from "Police Academy" is ready to make a citizen's arrest -- and his target is Barack Obama -- It's all over O's choice to have Pastor Rick "not fan of the gays" Warren deliver his invocation.
Bailey must not be buying the pic of Rick's image adjustment we posted Tuesday.

Barack Obama and his family held a memorial for his grandmother yesterday in Oahu, Hawaii.
These are photos of Obama scattering his grandma's ashes in the sea. Madelyn Dunham, whom Obama called "Toot," died just days before he was elected Prez.

Rick Warren, the pastor who will deliver the invocation next month for Barack Obama, apparently is doing a little image-adjusting in West Hollywood.
We got this pic, taken yesterday at Out of the Closet thrift store. That's Warren on the right (naturally), his arm around Erol Sarabi, who is openly gay. Warren, who supports the ban on gay marriage which has not sat real well with some Obama supporters, bought 8 to 10 books, two of which were his own (that doesn't help with his Amazon ranking). Warren told Sarabi not to believe everything he reads, that he does a lot for AIDS research and was happy that Out of the Closet does free AIDS testing.
Warren also said he met with Melissa Etheridge recently and the two planned to have dinner together -- go figure.
By the way, Warren gave a signed copy of his book to Sarabi. The inscription from the Bible, Proverbs 19:21: "Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails."

President-elect Barack Obama is still humble enough to do laundry -- ON HIS ABS!
Check out B.O. in Hawaii this weekend. Somehow, the folks over at Bauer Griffin got the pic, despite the 1,400 motorcycles blocking the view.

There's a drag queen in the White House ... via everyone's favorite female impersonator RuPaul. 
The 48-year-old hot tranny diva posed as both Barack and Michelle Obama as part of a holiday promotion for her new drag queen competition TV series "RuPaul's Drag Race."
That's what you call change, people!

Oprah has just announced she will not take a position in Obama's administration even if he asks -- not that he's asking or anything -- but if he did, then she'd say no -- most likely.
Oprah gushed, "I have a few full-time jobs already and a few full-time commitments so, it never ever occurred to me" according to AP Television.
Meanwhile Oprah has been stressing herself silly trying to find the perfect dress for the prom, um ... er ... inaugural ball.

Less than a month after one young Black man was elected into office, another one is being assassinated on prime time TV.
In the shameless war for TV ratings, "Cold Case" has decided to kill a politician on the next episode -- one who happens to have several similarities to Barack Obama ... including a campaign built on "Change".
Not only is it in bad taste, but also with all the whackjobs who take their psychopathic cues from TV shows, is it dangerous to broadcast the murder of a pseudo-Barack on television?
Calls to CBS were not returned.

Hillary Clinton has a history of shutting us out when asked about hard-hitting topics like Britney Spears or Sarah Palin doing Penthouse -- but why's she blowing off the fluff stuff, like if she'll be Obama's Secretary of State?

Everything Barack Obama touches turns to sold -- including a bar-room pool table the president-elect played on last May.
John Mawyer, the owner of Schultzie's Billiards in West Virginia, is 86ing the Obama pool table on Ebay. Starting price -- $500,000. Some of the proceeds will go to charity.
John told us Barack lost the game of 8-ball after accidentally hitting the little black ball in. Guess he can't win 'em all.
