Timing, as they say, is everything.
Just Saturday night, my lover and I took a stroll through the Southside to our favorite Cambodian restaurant and passed by a local confectionary called Chocolate Celebrations and the Milkshake Factory. You may recall a certain Post-Gazette article fawning over two certain members of this family owned business, siblings Dana and Chris Edwards. Their claim to fame is that both work for the White House. I blogged about it here. I wasn't impressed that two Pittsburgh kids work for the war machine presidency while their family makes a living schlepping ice cream to hardworking families who don't know any better. Call me a liberal.
Why do I bring this up? Well, over the 72 hours, I have had visitors from multiple governmental sites surfing over to my little post by typing “Dana Edwards and White House” into their engines. At first, I thought it was one of the “google myself” things. But its coming from the House of Representatives, the White House, Securities and Exchange Commission and so forth.
Just one of those things I keep noticing.
Dana has friends in high places. Or gives good milk shake.
South Side — two words. Nice of you to visit. Did you bump into Luke on Friday night?
The young men are fine, hard working, Americans.
Those web surfers, now that's another story — and one for the PATRIOT ACT to uncover.
My apologies to South Siders. Are you being facetious about Dana and Chris Edwards? I certainly hope so b/c this bro/sis duo represent all that is Luke Ravenstahl … white children of privilege and access without a clue about the long-term consequences of working for the Bush Administration.
