Dinner

Saw a mention of an annual dinner to roast the "political elite". Sounds like something worth mentioning... anyone have details? //Blaxthos ( t / c ) 01:15, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Second article here, actually about the dinner. //Blaxthos ( t / c ) 14:10, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Purpose of Alfalfa Club? Celebrate General Lee's bithday, or just to have an annual dinner?

I have seen both stories in many places. The former was claimed recently by President Obama, and earlier by Gov. Palin. I am sure the club prefers to promote the dinner explanation and am very wary of it. Given that the club was founded shortly after the Civil War, within a week or so of Lee's January 19th birthday, and that is is unenlighteded enough not to admit women until 1994, the Lee version seems plausible. On the other hand, I prefer getting it right. Thanks!!
