Just read a fun article from one of my favorite writers. In an earlier post I had written about some my of 'go to' sites and forgot a great one. The originator is Michelle Malkin and the website is: http://www.michellemalkin.com/ Today's column subject matter is the supposed $30,000 dollar diamond ring Obama-man is purchasing for Obama-woman just to thank her for "being there" these past two years. My missus, Elizabeth, has "been there" for the past forty years. No way she gets a 30K ring. Mrs. Malkins' take on this is quite thought provoking. She cites six reasons why this gift might be slightly hypocritical from statements made on the campaign trail by the "Terrific Twosome". Another nifty thing on the web page is a picture showing Obama with a ciggie hanging from his lips. One of 'His' worst kept promises during the campaign was when 'He' gave his word to Michelle O that 'He' would give up smoking if she would let 'Him' run for the most powerful office in the land. (Did you know that Obama smoked Kools? I hope you don't consider this a racist thing but, going back to my teen years, I noticed that Kools seemed to be the official smoke of black America. Check it out and get back to me.) Being a former smoker, I'd think running for the office would cause a person to really ramp up their nicotine intake. It would me. I get the urge to head for the woodshed just thinking about a bad round of golf. I read a column written by liberal pundit, Michael Kinsley, a few weeks ago saying that we should let Obama smoke because of the perplexities and stresses of the job. We need to cut him some slack on this nicotine thing, says Kinsley. Do you remember after the Monica/Bill episode when the incidence of oral sex in our junior high and high schools rose dramatically? So, now we need some justification to accept Obama's only human fraility. Can't you just imagine this coming from a kindergartner, "Hey teacher, this finger painting thing is going to make a basket case out of me if I can't bust a butt. When do we light up"?
Make sure, though, that you put Malkins' site on your favorites list. Her background just shows that life's journey takes some strange and wonderful twists. Her parents are of Filipino heritage and they happened to be in the US on visas some thirty-eight years ago when Michelle was born. She matriculated at Oberlin College in Ohio. For those of you who don't know, Oberlin might be one of the most leftist of small schools in the US. She got her start writing for several of West Coast papers.. Ms. Malkin is a frequent contributor to any number of conservative publications and is a guest commentator on Fox News. Not sure what happened but they don't use her much anymore. Her real claim to fame is the fight against illegal immigration and she'll hold people's feet to the fire on this subject regardless of their political affiliation. She's another brilliant mind who is very easy on the eyes(Pssst! Conservative women normally are) and, apparently, a wonderful wife and mother of two young girls.
