Virginia is for burgers
The POTUS and Joe rolled their convoy out of the White House this afternoon and drove to Virginia for burgers. It is a cute story. I like seeing our leaders having fun, even at taxpayer expense.
But what about the greenhouse gases? Motorcade to Virginia, cattle to make the burger -- it adds up! Not that I think it is a problem or anything, but since they do you would think they would avoid setting such a bad example. I mean, people might get the idea that it is just fine for two people to take several cars across town just to get a hamburger.

You are right!!! I hereby become a Republican wingnut!!! Everybody knows Hellburger's overpriced (for the fellow Republican yuppies in Rosslyn and Clarendon). Five Guys & Z Burger on Wisconsin are MUCH better, and cheaper!!!
We need to impeach this Negro (or maybe a patriot will "deal" with him) before his rape of our way of life continues...
Ray's Hellburger. I mean, come on!

There is probably a "where's the beef?" joke in there somewhere.
I just hope the White House chef doesn't have hurt feelings ("what, my burgers aren't good enough for them? Feh...") I suppose he could always go on Oprah and talk about it.
Wow, Christopher, are there actually Republican yuppies in Rosslyn? Does the number reach into the double digits -- are they considered an endagered species?

Yes--I've seen them in the Whitlow's on Wilson, and the female of the species in South Moon Under trolling for bikinis and sundresses. A few buzzcuts from Ft. Myer roll over as well, lol.
I stand by my statement. There is no redemption for Barack and Crazy Joe picking Hellburger. Five Guys are all over the DC area, and Z Burger is RIGHT down the street (near American U.) from his daughters' school, so there's no excuse.
What kind of a man is this? What kind of a brown demon unfurls his leatherly wings in our White House?!

Chris, you're really getting to the point where you need to announce that you are dermatologically permitted to make those comments -- people are going to think that racists read this blog.
Goddamn, race has nothing to do with it. We would have mocked Joe Biden for doing this on his own.

HMMM....I suspect that he will have to hold a press conference tomorrow to apologize to all the offended vegans!
I can just hear it now:
"I guess it wasn't the lunch I thought it was."
"I wasn't even born yet when burgers were invented!"
"I didn't really eat the burger...ignore the video, I was just holding it up for the camera!"
"We in America are not a meat-eating nation."

Without mocking, what else would we have?
I mock, therefore I am.Anyway, Christopher has kindly posted a handsome photo of himself that can be seen by clicking through the link in his name, so if people think he is a "cracker," they can be otherwise informed.

Chrissie:
The traffic in DC and Arlington is pretty bad. If the boys eat out a couple of times a week for the next four years, even the Dems in the area will vote him out.
Oh! The boys must be pretty worried if they are being advised to eat out to be with the common folks.

I was more worried that both of them decided to go to the same eatin establishment. I mean we were just one car accident or E-Coli away from President Pelosi. Brrrrrr.....

I dunno ... in the same vein that GWB was somehow cowardly for not getting out on the East Lawn with an 'assault weapon' on 9/11, I think that Obama should've eaten pig, in the spirit of downplaying Biden's absurd comments about pork. Pickled Pig's knuckles, some fried pork chops, maybe a couple of nice 'dogs slobbered with relish and ketchup. Talk up the ham sandwiches, or hit a Mexi joint on the camera. He could've made smirky wolf some down too, just for good measure.

I second Mr. Chamers' endorsement of Z Burger. It's just down the street from me and very yummy. Z Burger is a diet destroyer.

If he had ordered Dijon mustard at Five Guys, he would have heard crickets chirping. Ray's the Steaks up the street from Hellburger is good but Hellburger is second fiddle to Five Guys.

Silly me. I should have made the connection before.
So it has finally come to this - Foooood Fiiiight!
This is nothing more that a White House Press Corps (PRAVDA) inspired move. They want to be able to report that The One's visit to a Democratic burger (All American) joint increased the flow of customers by more than the increase in customers to the Pi-Tanzi pizza parlor (All Italian) joint resulting from the visit of the National Council for a New America .

Apparently because hamburger joints are few and far between in DC, it is necessary to drive all the way to Virginia to get one. After 36 years in the Senate, Clueless Joe didn't know of a good burger joint in DC?
I can drive a half mile to my local barbecue joint, which puts out a decent product, or I could drive 20 miles to another barbecue joint.
Maybe Cluless Joe was trying to serve as an example for American consumers, to drive more to increase the price of oil to put more money into the pockets of impoverished oil producers. Thugo and the Permian Basin thoroughly approve.

Ray's is REALLY GOOD.
It's the perfect fulfillment of the steakhouse burger without having to go to a steakhouse.
Yes, they have all kinds of foofy toppings, but the juiciness of the warm red center and the 10 oz. size produce a transcendent experience.
I like Five Guys myself but it's just excellent fast food. Not in the same league as Ray's. Have never been to Z Burger.
