Hello Dalai!

This "Black Hole" of common sense even applies to the giving of a simple gift.  For example,  the Dalai Lama typically wears a sleeveless robe as his traditional garb.  One would presuppose that this simple fact might give mental pause to the White House's departing gift of a set of cuff links for Heavens sake. Additionally, previous gifts by the Obama White house to others have included an iPod loaded with Broadway tunes for the British Queen--we can all certainly see her Highness be-bopping to American show tunes with ear pods blazing.  But lets not forget the "economical" boxset of 25 movie DVD's for British prime Minister Gordon Brown that--alas-- will not even function in a typical United Kingdom  DVD player (Skeet anyone)?

At any rate and in keeping with the President's keen sense of gift giving, here are a few more thoughtful ideas--characteristically devoid of common sense--for future White House VIP Visitors:

• Evangelist Billy Graham:  Best of Penthouse Magazine Collection (on DVD)
• Black Liberation Theologian Reverend Eugene Wright:  Southern Civil War Battle Flag Collection
• Visually-challenged Musician Stevie Wonder:  Monet's Brilliance as a Painter, Collected Works (on European-formatted DVD)
• Conservative Governor Sarah Palin:  Animated comedy, "The Family Guy," Boxed DVD Set (All Years)
• Liberal Senator Al Franken:  Lifetime Subscription to Rush 24/7 --to include the Limbaugh Letter
• Contritionist Golfer Tiger Woods:  How to Meet, Pickup, and Seduce Hot Women
