Pakistan's president has denounced St Valentine's Day, saying the festival has no connection with Pakistani culture and should be avoided.

Even the JAPANESE celebrate Christmas. Many don't have a clue as to why but it's what we Westerners do, so they do it.

I cannot say that I blame him for that.
“Roses are red, violets are blue, you are the president and I am your poo,”
You have now blasphemed the Easter bunny, repent now or no candy for you.

We were driving to lunch when we saw Obumbler’s plane coming in for a landing in Palm Springs late Friday morning. What a treat - not.
For 5 days, the primary road into the airport from all of the cities east of Palm Springs (read that to mean the vast majority of the population) will be closed to all traffic, presumably because Air Force 1 will be parked on the tarmac nearby.
Then from Sunday to Tuesday afternoon, two major roads adjacent to Sunnylands where the conference will be held will be closed to all traffic. Both are 4 lane roads heavily used by commuters and shoppers. The main hospital here in this valley, Eisenhower Medical Center, is a mile down the road and will be unreachable from any place in the northern end of Rancho Mirage without a several mile detour.
