Speak for yourself. I am ALL ABOUT the Soul Food Parade.

Okay, the Soul Food float was great. And the turkeys and zoo animals were cute. And, of course, everyone loved the Dancing Papayas.

But Napier already mentioned the problems with the Potty Training Awareness float. And it was creepy the way those International Men kept hitting on the women in the crowd. And while they did a decent job marching, the contingents from the Celibacy Awareness, War on Alcoholism, and Cancer from the Sun groups really killed the buzz at the party afterwards.

Is it normal to officially declare a Month a week into it? I would have thought that’d be the sort of thing you’d do some time in advance.

The proclimation was released by the WH on June 1st.
