Obama visit, new Top Ten

As you may have heard, prospective First Lady Michelle Obama will be visiting the bustling metropolis of West Columbia this weekend, to speak at the Women’s Day Luncheon at Brookland Baptist Church. Factoid: West Columbia used to be named "Brookland" but changed because there was already another town by the same name. Go figure!

Anyway, in honor of Mrs. O.’s visit, here’s a good old-fashioned Barbecue & Politics Top Ten list... Enjoy!
