Deck the Halls with Queen Meg’s Jewels…and own a piece of California history

Hear Ye, Hear Ye Peasants:

We–the royal We, meaning Me, Queen Meg–well, we’ve had a wonderful December.  Did you hear about my tax breaks?  I love Washington.  What I don’t love is California.  My demand to be coronated was rejected, and my November was ruined.

But I forgive you, poor dears, and I mean that literally.  With the new tax deal I am feeling magnanimous and have decided to donate some of my detritus in support of the Nicky Diaz Defense Fund.  Yes that’s right, I’m doing what Meg Whitman herself wouldn’t: taking care of the housekeeper!

The auction is being sponsored via the California Nurses Association and you can read more about it here and here.

Items to be auctioned include a High Tea with moi in Pasadena, where I will regale you and beknight you with my witticisms, as well my royal jewels, the royal jewels of my sidekick Princess Carly, and a “No Meg-usta” poster signed by Dolores Huerta, co-founder of the United Farm Workers.

If you’d prefer, you can be mail a donation directly to: Nicky Diaz Defense Fund, 1442-A Walnut Street #303, Berkeley, CA 94709.
