President Obama isn't on Thursday's roster to toss the ceremonial first pitch of the 2011 season for Washington's home team, according to the Washington Nationals website.

The president, a Chicago White Sox fan, hasn't been able to avoid criticism when he steps out of the political arena and on the sports field.

6. I'm in fucking Washington State harassing

cuptonboy4.

Actually I have gotten lost in an apple farm more that once. Apples, peaches, pears, cherries, and who the fuck knows what the rest of it is. At least I have not fallen off a cliff into the Columbia River.

Oh, and other the fruit trees, there are NO fucking real trees here. Almost a goddamn desert here.
