Ever think you'd hear President Obama and Lindsay Lohan mentioned in the same sentence? Neither did we. But Lohan attended the 98th Annual White House Correspondents' Association Dinner on Saturday night -- as the guest of FOX News' Greta Van Susteren -- and managed to show up Kate Upton and Kim Kardashian!
The no-longer-on-probation actress looked stunning in a plunging black halter gown, with her hair dyed back to her signature red hue. So is the event just an excuse for the president and first lady to mingle with celebrities? Well ... not really. Proceeds from the dinner go toward scholarships for aspiring journalists and awards recognizing excellence in the profession. It is traditionally attended by the president and first lady as well as many other senior government officials and members of the press corps.
They may have looked glamorous, but Lohan and Kardashian also had to handle being the butt of several jokes. Referring to "Miracle on the Hudson" pilot Sully Sullenberger, who was in the audience, host Jimmy Kimmel joked, "Sully, will you drive Lindsay Lohan home? Just make sure you don’t run into a goose, and make sure it isn’t a Grey Goose."
He also took aim at reality queen Kim Kardashian. "If you’re looking for the greatest threat to America right now, she’s right there," he said, pointing into the audience. "She’s Kim Kardashian." The president himself also made a Kardashian joke, in a pre-taped opening bit. "Seriously, guys, what am I doing here?" he said. "I'm the President of the United States, and I’m opening for Jimmy Kimmel?...Why am I telling knock-knock jokes to Kim Kardashian? What is she famous for, anyway?"

+6The sexiest? Clearly Charlize Theron! Classy as well no Jail time or porno tapes with Reggie Bush!
oh nice you wish people to DIE how very Christian of you

So take your pervert views and brainless worthless self to some other Godless sink hole county.

The Statue of Liberty is The Goddess of Freedom Libertas
And what do we find on the main entrance frieze to the Supreme Court building? Thiis Pagan Gods and Goddess
Supreme Court Main Entrance
Now here comes the kicker: nowhere does the image of Jesus appear on the Supreme Court building nor anywhere else in our government symbols! Since Jesus represents the lawgiver for Christians (remember that, according to Christian beliefs, Jesus replaced the laws of the Old Testament, with the New Covenant). Moses represents a Jewish figure and the Ten Commandments represent Hebraic laws, not Christian laws.
The Great Seal (a Pagan symbol)
On the dollar bill we find the Great Seal which depicts a left eye
Eye OF HORUS Egyptian God
Minerva Owl
By Rembrandt Peale, also known for handsome Jefferson portraits. Surrounding Washington are Oak leaves, which were sacred to Jupiter. The artwork is titled "Patriae Pater", or "Father of our Country". Jupiter also means "Father".
APOLLO, MINERVA AND THE MUSES ON THE NINE MUSES SARCOPHAGUS (Marble, Roman, 3rd century). Ulysses is listening to the Sirens on the sides. Left to right are Polyhymnia, Euterpe, Thalia, Melpomene, Erato, Apollo, Minerva, Calliope, Terpsichore, Urania, and Clio
This magnificent Fresco was done by Constantino Brumadi when the Capitol was being expanded. This is when the new cast Iron dome and the Statue of Freedom would be put atop the Dome.
Washington is seen here rising to heaven to become glorified (that is what apotheosis means) with the goddesses Liberty and Fame. Although the architect of the capitol says it is Victory/Fame I have never seen the goddess Victory with a trumpet. It is always the goddess 'Pheme' with her trumpet as the goddess we know as Fame. I am guessing Brumadi was painting Fame. Washington is surrounded by thirteen maidens representing the original states. Again we see a powerful expression of the female deities found in pagan religions. Christianity is patriarchal to the extreme. We see more classical and pagan imagery; nothing Judeo-Christian is used to represent Washington's apotheosis. We are the New Rome; the New Athens; not the New Jerusalem as the religous right claims. We are symbolized by what the Christians sought to wipe off the face of the Earth. Ironic.
Surrounding Washington, the goddesses and the maidens are six groups representing different aspects of the nation. All are represented with pagan gods and goddesses. WAR is an armed Goddess Freedom with he...

Surrounding Washington, the goddesses and the maidens are six groups representing different aspects of the nation. All are represented with pagan gods and goddesses. WAR is an armed Goddess Freedom with her Eagle. SCIENCE is our goddess Minerva teaching invention to Benjamin Franklin, Robert Fulton, and Samuel morse. MARINE is Neptune with Venus holding the Transatlantic Cable. COMMERCE is Mercury (Hermes) handing a bag of money to Robert Morris, a major financier of the American Revolution. MECHANICS is the firey god Vulcan, working at the anvil, making a cannon and a steam engine. AGRICULTURE is our beautiful friend the goddess Ceres, who also represents Peace throughout Washington. With her is America in a red Liberty Cap, the Roman Pileus which freed slaves wore to mark them as free. Flora is picking flowers.
Below are Minerva as Science and Neptune as Marine. If you want to see the rest, go to the Apotheosis page at the website of the Architect of the Capitol. You can see large images of the Apotheosis there.
not one Judeo-Christian figure or symbol has been used to repesent the ideals of Liberty. Indeed, classical and pagan figures far outnumber Judeo-Christian ones, in general, throughout the government buildings.
Minerva, the Roman goddess of crafts and wisdom, is portrayed with helmet and spear pointing to an electrical generator creating power stored in batteries next to a printing press, representing great American inventions. American scientists and inventors Benjamin Franklin, Samuel F. B. Morse, and Robert Fulton watch. In the left part of the scene a teacher demonstrates the use of dividers.
Created in 1840 by Horatio Greenough, Washington appears as Zeus, complete with pose, classical robes and a battle sword, the falchion. On the pedestal are two reliefs of Zeus's favorite sons. On the right side is the baby Hercules, in his crib wih his twin, killing the snake that Zeus' wife Hera put in his crib. Most of Zeus' children were not Hera's (Roman Juno) On the left side of the statue's pedestal is Apollo, god of light and literature, guiding his chariots across the sky in the manner that the Sun god Helios does.
