I am sure the Bambams followed the new guidelines when they sat down for their recent $1000 dinner.

Thank goodness we didn’t get any pix of Michelle and Barry shoveling the food into their mouths — while millions of public school children go hungry on Michelle’s public school lunch guidelines.

I saw it in the theater when it came out. I especially liked Sandra Bullock in those spandex pants.

They’ll be pushing insects soon as well.
