Let them eat cake. ABC reports on the bi-partisan White House dinner last night:

About 180 guests – House and Senate committee chairs, ranking members, members of Obama’s cabinet, senior staff, legislative staff – and all their spouses – sat at elegant tables with white roses, white peonies and green apple centerpieces on a light blue tablecloth.
The dinner that followed – served on gold rimmed china – included Celery Soup, Wild Mushroom Crisps, Steelhead Salmon with Citrus sauce, Crispy Spinach, Toasted Saffron Couscous Pearls, Baby Iceberg lettuce with Maytag Bleu Cheese and Yogurt ranch dressing and for dessert, Milk Chocolate velvet cake.
