Tattletale!

The Statesboro Inn is a bed and breakfast co-owned and operated by a friend of mine, Tony. (On the left, above.)Recently, on the occasion of a rally for a candidate for the House, George Bush came to Statesboro. Before his visit, the Secret Service contacted the Inn to say they had read about the Inn online, and that George and entourage would be coming for lunch that day. Ahead of the visit the Secret Service (hereinafter referred to as the S.S.) arrived to inspect the premises and install more phone lines. The day of the visit the S.S. came and inspected the kitchen and watched the food being prepared. Shortly before the president's arrival, the kitchen was sealed off, and the smoke detectors in the Inn disabled by the S.S. The president was ushered into a private dining room, to the dismay of one local reporter who idolizes him and had hoped to have some face time with him. His choice of lunch at this Inn with the reputation of serving wonderful gourmet food? A cheeseburger. And why did the S.S. disable the smoke detectors? Because our president is a chain smoker! Now I understand why he is such a friend to Big Tobacco.
