OT: Who's watching the White House Correspondents' Dinner on C-Span tonight? Slow coin night for me!

I always watch, yet I wonder why I do so....and with much wonderment.
Watching a night of total DC political/journalistic/Hollywood hypocrisy seems so un-apropo when the world is on fire.
Not sure if there is a coin to relate to this event.
Anyone else have some thoughts on this dinner even though it's not coin related.
I figure, every now and then our mods can join in on some non-numismatic hypocrisy. image

    Time to come come clean, it's me, I'm the other guy in the nation watching this CSPN extravaganza.

    That makes two of us. image

    I just watched a camera shot of a guy with hair and a guy with no hair eating dinner. The guy with hair had the fork in his right hand and the bald guy had the fork in his left hand.

    Everyone else, you don't know what you are missing.

    Edited to fix who is bald or has hair and who has a fork in his left or right hand

    Instead, you could watch the Royal Wedding reruns that are littering most of the cable channel lineup.

    Gonna have to miss it. Housekeepers' husband is in a surf movie on the big screen at the local movie theater tonight. Part of the family at this point, and our absence would be conspicuous...

    Anybody got a coin with a wave on it? image

    I work with a lot of "correspondents!" image

    Here's a coin with a WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service) on it...

    I didn't think he was funny, but then again, I thought the whole thing was stupid. With all the problems

    we have in this country and the world, we get these guys trying to be funny about some serious

    problems. My sense of humor is fast disappearing.

    Enjoyed every second seeing Donald Trump humiliated by Seth Myers.
    There is no "AT" or "NT". We only have "market acceptable" or "not market acceptable.
