When we were driving on Route 29 yesterday afternoon we couldn't help but see 2 different military helicopters flying through the serene skies of Napa Valley. In any other place this might not inspire such curiosity, but local knowledge told us that helicopters are not allowed in the Valley skies.

After a little sleuth work, we learned that President George W. Bush will be in St Helena this coming weekend to host some of the Republican party's biggest contributors at uber-pretty, but also uber-staunchy Meadowood Resort. Democrats, get out your picket signs!

Meadowood is famous for many things, including their restaurant, beautiful hillside locale and a resident croquet pro. The resort is particularly loved by TomKat for their wine country getaways. Twice in the last year they have flown in on their private jet to Angwin airport and lounged with the Beckhams for a weekend getaway.

No doubt the elephant big wigs will be living it up this weekend smoking cigars, driving V12 SUVs to breakfast and raising money the old fashioned way: coercion, guilt and good ol'boy razzing.

Just don't go anywhere near the resort unless you'd like to go on a "suspicious characters" list for the rest of your life.
