News You Can Actually Use, Actually

On Sunday in Dallas, Laura Bush Has a Date With the Jonas Brothers

Categories: News You Can Actually Use, Actually

At the Trinity River Audubon Center, no less. Either that, or I misread the press release we just received from The White House Office of the First Lady. Awfully smoky in here. Nope ... that's what it says -- showtime's at 1:30 p.m. Says the brief missive: "MRS. BUSH participates in a First Bloom activity with the Jonas Brothers and delivers Remarks at Trinity River Audubon Center." What, Jessica Simpson have a Mensa meeting? And on the subject of Westlake's own (?) JoBros, this was surprisingly awesome.

And that last link finally gives me reason enough to post a link to Elvis Costello's unreleased cover of Wreckless Eric's "Whole Wide World" recorded in 1977, for which I've had several requests since I played it Saturday night (might have been Sunday morning). --Robert Wilonsky

Ah yes, that is awesome. Despite theiur rather heinous marketing campaign and often annoying fanbase...the Jonas Brothers are awesome, as well!

miss laura says:

I sincerely hope Miss Laura understands that come January, she's just another dim socialite with a drunkard husband living in the bubble.

My advice to her is to not stray from the Park Cities. She wasn't invited to Dallas from Crawford, and to many she is not welcome here - nor is her husband. I'm sure many will let her know if she starts making appearances where the rabble tread.

Here's a primer-
Park Cities = The Bubble (Where Laura belongs)
Audubon Center = Dallas (Where Laura doesn't belong)

We will all be happier once she learns the difference and stays with her own kind.
