While the Big Dawg was photo bombing the first American Idol winner the Obots were busy dissing her on Twitter. They also booed Paul Ryan. Meanwhile Michelle Obama was rolling her eyes at the Speaker of the House and Barack Obama was caught up in how truly wonderful he is.
It was an historic day.
This is an open thread.

Based on the commercials that get aired in the middle of the night, the only people awake are men with small, limp penises.
You never see tampon ads at 3am.
looks like Hanson suffered through the inauguration along with the rest of us
I went to see “Lincoln”. Much better use of my time.
Yesterday I initiated the painful ritual we go thru every two years or so – switching internet providers. Still preferable to watching the spectacle in DC.
Oh God- Kill me now. Please kill me now!
Joe the drunk 2016?

The Obama Times swoons over Michelle’s dress and hair while managing to diss other first ladies (Hillary changed her hairstyle too! Jackie and Nancy wore expensive clothes too! Nah, nah, nah!)

Ok, it is a pretty dress, there, my nice thing to say today
Oh my eyes! Why did you make me click that? Antebellum hooker scarlet in shiny & lacy! Ack!
*throws a spitball at Denise*
Doesn’t it look like he just add a halter top to Laura Bush’s gown? I’d laugh till tears ran down my face if it turned out to be a high priced knock-off !

Don’t know why wordpress is cutting off that link, but I copied & pasted it ok, so I’m going to cheat and use edit to put it in as a link
Laura Bush’s dress
The cut on Laura’s dress was much classier; still not a fan of that shiny red.
Thanks for the help, that was weird.
Denise! ACCCCKKKK! (My fault- I should know better by now!)
On another note- did you get the beef stew recipe down in the other thread?
Yes, THANK YOU. On my way to the store soon with my notes. Marinating the beef and deglazing with red wine sounds like the missing links in my previous attempts. And yes, I’ll make some bacon grease too
“Embracing expensive designer clothes — and a lot of them — has not been a problem for Michelle Obama in the way that similar pursuits haunted Nancy Reagan, or even Jacqueline Kennedy.”
And why is that exactly? Wouldn’t it be nice if the hypocrites at the NYT explained what it is about BO & MO that makes them so friggin’ special and exempts them from that kind of criticism?
and
And god forbid, what would happen to the lobster industry if it weren’t for Mooch? Kale chips for thee, but not for me.
Shaddup and eat your broccoli, you racist!
I liked the “dig” at Hillary. Just had to get her in there with the hairstyle changes which always made national headlines. Though they failed to mention Hillary never wore “floozy” wigs.
Not that there’s anything wrong with wigs, but MO’s own hair has been fried beyond repair from overprocessing to make it like a white girl’s. And she’s doing it to her girls too. That is the story here
It’s not the wig, it’s the lies they tell. Let’s pretend that she’s done something daring & fashion-forward by getting her hair cut in a silly shag with bangs & when she tires of it, let’s pretend that her hair just grows back in super fast.
Let’s pretend that the bone structure of her face hasn’t been permanently altered since we first saw her during 08 primaries.
Let’s pretend that she buys her clothes at Target & eats low fat, low sodium, low cal meals. and loves to dig the weeds out of “her” garden.
Let’s pretend that she & hubby are super-intelligent human beings even though neither one of them can string two proper sentences together without turning on a teleprompter.
And the morons lap it up.
If you compare her HS picture with the early 2000′s and with her current looks, there is no doubt she “had some work done.”
She can’t get rid of that scowl though.
I don’t know why, but it just makes me laugh when Bubba gets caught ogling a pretty woman.
It’s like there are some men who can do the hound dog vibe without seeming pervy, and others who just seem pervy whatever they do.
I was sitting in a hospital room with a very sick friend, and they wanted to watch the bowl. I not only had to stomach photos of them dancing, and Obama mugging with his usual self-satisfied strut, but I had to listen to the inanity of Piers Morgan and the CNN crew. It is shocking, absolutely shocking, when you do not watch mainstream “news,” and they you tune in, even briefly. It is worse than bad tabloid TV, because this is now supposed to be the pinnacle of American ‘journalism,’ and millions of people turn to these sources as the authority. Truly frightening.
The bowl? What the hell did I mean by that? I guess it fits though–it’s more spectacle than reality. All pomp and b.s. People positively gush over these phonies. Do-not-get-it.
