It happens once every year to honor and celebrate the White House press corps and their work covering White House news as well as the president. You have all the major newspapers and television network reporters in the house as well as a few celebrities. It's held every year at the Washington Hilton. The president, first lady, vice president, and second lady are always in attendance at the head table. A comedian is always invited to pretty much make fun of the press, president, and everything else in Washington. The president also gives a speech that is intended to be funny. It's kind of a roast of the craziness of Washington. It's broadcast on C-SPAN and I really watch it every year. When I say every year, I mean since probably 6th or 7th grade. I'm a nerd. I know. This year President Obama did a pretty good/funny job. Here's the video from c-span's youtube channel. Enjoy. It really is funny. I promise.

a funny affair
So this past weekend there was an event that I have been looking forward to for quite sometime. And no, this is not another post about the Royal Wedding, but instead one of the best events of the year The White House Correspondents' Dinner. I'm sure most ALL of my readers haven't a clue what this even is nor probably care.
