If anyone has extra tickets for the White House Easter Egg Roll please consider donating them to me. I arrived at 6am Saturday morning to find that they were already distributed. I'd like to take my daughter so I will need two tickets. Thank you.

Hm. I wonder how many tickets were actually handed out.

2. Happens every year

That's how it goes. They claim to have X number of available tickets, but the reality is that most of them have already been distributed to friends and friends and "friends" and so forth.

Washington. That's how it goes.

3. So all of those gay couples camped out for naught?

Local news showed hundreds of people in line last night.

4. Yes

But I hope their point was made.

Fuckface is hiding out at Camp David so he won't have to see such a sordid display of love and dedication and family values.

5. I think they made it

It looks like they got in, just not for the prime time

Easter Egg Roll tickets distributed

WASHINGTON All the gay and lesbian families who waited in line got tickets for Monday's Easter Egg Roll at the White House. But some are questioning why they didn't get tickets for the opening, when the first lady will be present.

Gays and lesbians are making a concerted effort this year to attend the event. They plan to wear rainbow-colored leis as a unifying symbol but won't carry signs or chant slogans.

Members of the Family Pride Coalition say they received some of the first timed-entry tickets distributed, but they are for noon, well after the 8 a-m start. Some say they believe it was an effort to keep them away from the high-profile opening of the egg roll, which will feature first lady Laura Bush.

The White House says a large contingent of youth volunteers were given tickets for the opening, but all families are welcome to attend.
