Little did they know that the president would drop in for a cold drink.

So nice when the press, that bastion of democracy, that pillar of freedom, that exposer of hypocrisy and cant and falsehood, that pillorier of cynical exploitation of sugar and spice and everything nice, decides to play along with Presidential stunt-staging with a little harmless white lie.

It must have been because the kids had no idea the President would be stopping by that they made up that sign saying “Lemonade for the President, 50 cents.”

I just hope they stuck it to the man, that it was 25c for everyone else.
