You got rid of Kukovich! Excellent! Tell her congrats!

The Only acceptable foot wear? What else but FLIP-FLOPS, and on the menu will be the Dean ice-SCREAM to go along with the TAY-ray-ZUH let them eat cake Birthday cake. Remember Dad has to attend as the WesClark Stuffed Shirt.

Go the the Oriental Trading Company for patriotic novelties and decorations at reasonable prices.

Do an inaugural theme so everyone can come all dressed up in their finest clothes.

-Play pin the tail on the elephant

"Pin the tail on the donkey" seems about right this year. Moore could be the donkey. A really over sized donkey.

"I aam also thinking of writing to Condi Rice, Laura Bush and some of her other heros "....

What about your Congressman, Representative, State Senator &c.? Perhaps they'd be willing to stop by and say a few words of support and thanks for her civic involvement.

Remember, all politics is local.

Patriotic decor, positive party favors and messages from her heroines sound lovely but I would draw the line at gloating, throwing darts and making fun of our opponents. I wouldn't want my child doing this on his own, let alone "host" it or ever be anything less than gracious in victory.

Cardboard cell-phone favors, I assume they did a lot of calling.

I think they would send congratulations from the White House if you send them an invitation to her party. I sent President Nixon an invitation to our wedding and received a congratulatory note from the President and Mrs. Nixon. (Yes, I do treasure it.) In the meantime congratulations to you for having such a wonderful daughter. You must be so proud. Happy, happy birthday to her.

You need to have a grab-basket of Clark bars, too!

Hey, that wouldn't be a bad idea. Get one of your local reps to do something useful (other than spend your tax money and dodge responsibility), and come spend an hour at her party. And get it catered, too. Something good. Something all-American. Steak and corn-on-the-cob.

Where zee heck did you find those??

[sweetliberty]

Rent a karaoke set up. I did that for my daughter's 16'th birthday and it was a big hit! I think it cost about $150, if I remember correctly, but that was a professional set up with loads of CD's and big speakers. The kids (and adults) had a blast.

Two things I've been enjoying lately - a subscription to Audible.com and a subscription to CapitolReports.com. I swear I'm not a shill.

As a busy person, CR let's me stay up to speed on the latest poltical books and gives me an idea of whether I might want to buy them or not.

Audible is also great for a busy person - many great books and a free audio player with the subscription. As an English teacher, I don't have a problem with young people using audible. For me, some books are much more powerful when read aloud by a talented reader.

Also - treat her and some friends to a night out at the movies - which reminds me! Michael Moore Hates America is coming out on DVD in a few days. Two versions - one with swears taken out. I think there is a deal if you buy it in the next few days.

Happy Birthday!!!
