[StBernard] Anyone got a $1 to spare?

CHEAP DATE: The Monroe Chamber of Commerce has apologized to Louisiana
  governor Kathleen Blanco after auctioning off a dinner with the
  governor at the governor's mansion. "This was not a reflection of the
  chamber's or the business community's attitude toward the governor,"
  said Chamber president Sue Edmunds. It's not that they didn't have
  permission to do the auction as a fund-raiser; the problem was, the bid
  only reached $1. (Shreveport Times) ...And that was still contingent on
  the governor picking up the tab.
