There is no free lunch

But an auction for dinner with LA Governor Kathlene Blanco sold for a whopping $1.00 on Monday.

Dinner with Blanco was the last item up for bid at the fundraising auction last week. Edmunds said the bidding opened at $1,000 and dropped to $500 before the auctioneer accepted a $1 bid from bank executive Malcolm Maddox, a regional chairman for Capital One.

I think they overpaid.

It turns out that the bidding was a prank of sorts and it would be funny if it wasn’t so believable that it could actually happen.

“She’s really not even paying attention to it right now,” Centanni said.


This is regarding the “prank” but could describe Blanco’s performance since about August of 2005.
