    "I thought it was a horse and carriage," said Wypyszinski. "That was the kind of noise that I heard." By the time he turned around, the two fuzzy brown images were racing quickly toward him. Wypyszinski pulled out his camera quickly, thinking he was going to catch two moose racing down the highway. He quickly learned he was mistaken. "I thought I was having a hallucination or something," said Wypyszinski. "I couldn't believe what that buffalo looked like."

    You know the basics. The unemployment rate is 9.9 percent. Jobs are still being lost. Worries about the global economy are causing breathtaking volatility on Wall Street. And millions of Americans who still have jobs are worrying more than ever about the safety of their retirement savings. What you may not know is that, during this moment of terrible economic anxiety, the Obama White House found the time -- and the money -- to turn itself, at least for a night, into a showcase of glitzy extravagance. On May 19, the White House held a state dinner for Mexican President...

    Mexican President Felipe Calderon came to the United States, criticized us in our own house, they had the pleasure of having a State dinner at the White House, courtesy of President Obama. Watch this video where President Obama calls for people to make, “…a sacrifice for the next generation”. Then, take a look at the party pictures and tell me if you think that, A) Calderon deserves a party and, B) This party looks like Obama is ready to make any sacrifices himself. He’s partying with your money, and entertaining a Mexican leader that insulted America. I hope people never...

    On Wednesday, the Obama White House will host its second state dinner, honoring Mexican President Felipe Calderon and his wife, Margarita Zavala. It’s shaping up to be quite a different affair from the now-infamous first state dinner late last year. Let us count the ways. First, new social secretary Julianna Smoot is helming this event, and she’s as discreet as Desiree Rogers was flamboyant. Consequently, the dinner is going to be much more intimate than the 400-guest party that honored India last fall, and will bring about 200 people (including stars Eva Longoria and George Lopez) together in the executive...

    This Thanksgiving I took on the daunting task of making my mother-in-law’s cornbread dressing. This isn’t just ordinary dressing; this is my husband’s very favorite dish. This is “Mamma’s Dressing”. There are entire family stories surrounding this dressing. The outcome of holidays has been determined by this dressing. Forget the presents, forget the company; it was all about the dressing. No pressure.

    Having friends over for dinner used to involve a minimal and fairly unremarkable to-do list: There were groceries to buy, along with flowers and a couple of bottles of semi-respectable wine. I would put out some guest towels and a collection of fancy soaps that were off limits to blood relatives, and then — voilà! — dinner was served. Preparing for a dinner party these days is far more complex, thanks to a vast and bewildering array of dietary needs that seem to have suddenly overtaken everyone I know. Complaint Box Steamed?

    ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A true fan of former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is paying $63,500 to have dinner with her. Cathy Maples of Huntsville, Alabama, on Friday won the dinner in an Internet auction, which was a benefit for a charity that aids wounded veterans. Maples says she fully supports the military and the men and women fighting for this nation. Maples, who owns a defense contracting company, also says she's a "big advocate" for Palin, and would love to see her as president. Palin offered the dinner as part of the charity auction on eBay for the...
