As America says goodbye to (some say) the worst President in U.S. history, Pasadena will reluctantly select a replacement this weekend for one of the best DOO DAH QUEENs we've ever had - "NAUGHTY MICKIE" (pictured here with me.) And like the innauguration, the DOO DAH PARADE will take place in January, 2009 on Sunday the 18th.In true Democratic fashion, voting for this year's Queen will be opened up to anyone in the audience who buys a pitcher of beer to share with the other judges! (Hmmm, I know there's some political correlation to be made there...)
