The Swamp

By Mark Silva

Now they've thought of everything at the ever-"green" Obama White House: "Green'' Easter eggs.

They come in green, blue, rose and orange -- the commemorative 2009 Easter eggs for the annual White House Easter Egg Roll that comes Monday.

But they're all "green:" According to the Obama White House, this year's egg uses "31 percent less paperboard than the 2008 designs... elminates the need for the paper shred/filler... features an egg-shaped dye cut instead of a cellophane window... uses renewable, vegetable oil-based inks.''

And, in the event you didn't get your tickets for the egg roll on the South Lawn, the National Park Foundation is selling this year's Easter eggs at $7 a copy -- or $25 for a complete boxed set of four.

Greenbacks won't work, though -- they're online.

Oh, green presidential eggs to go with his $100 a pound ham. Nice! I wonder if he is going to get Jessie Jackson to recite some Dr. Suess while they eat.
