"I am pleased to inform you that First Lady Michelle Obama will be visiting our campus next Thursday, September 17. The White House made the announcement Wednesday evening, so this morning is the first moment that I could share the news with you.

"Details related to the visit are still being developed, but I can provide you with the following information from the White House’s calendar advisory:

“As part of her [wh.gov/reachhigher]Reach Higher initiative, the First Lady will visit a career and technical training program at Howard Community College. As part of her visit, the First Lady will participate in a panel hosted by ESSENCE magazine. This is a kick-off to ESSENCE’s second annual college tour. The tour aims to educate and empower young African-American college students to lead successful, focused, and healthy lives.”

Don’t expect much for lunch. Take a can of Coke and wave it in her face.

Good to know...although I wouldn’t walk across my driveway to see her.

More info today....

“This is an exciting opportunity to showcase the college and to promote the First Lady’s Reach Higher initiative. This White House event is focused on inspiring high school seniors to think ahead to education after high school, and the First Lady will be speaking on this topic in her panel discussion with Essence magazine. While this event is not open to the college community, we look forward to the resulting press coverage about the college and our students.
We invite you to watch the panel discussion late Thursday morning as it happens live via webstream at xxxxxx. The final timing for the event is not yet available.”

Ugh, and our parking will be even worse than usual. (Shi-ite - my favorite lot is blocked off!)

Lucky you.

The first Mooch was the guest speaker at my daughter's 2012 graduation from Oregon State University (where her brother was men's basketball coach.)

It was painful to listen to her talk about her poor, middle-class background, worked her butt off to achieve, blah, blah, blah...

I'm still in recovery after that one :-)

So why HCC? Why not PGCC?

Not that I was planning to be in Columbia tomorrow, but, geez...

The funny thing is I have a feeling lots of students will not know about this - and suffer the consequences! The parking will be extra messed up. Might have to use the shuttle from the Mall area.

Why, oh why, do they insist on referring to Michelle as a “lady”? I know that “she” is a “he”, but even some trannies look and act like ladies. She loses on both counts.

I figure that no matter who wins in 2016, our First Lady won’t be a hag-pig like we have now. Looks like she was French kissed by a jack hammer.

I hope maintenance sprays adequately to contain pests and vermin prior to them arriving.

If you hadn’t just started the job, I’d have told you to call in sick. Instead, make sure you take a big bottle of Pepto-Bismol with you to work tomorrow.

My condolences. Are you going? If you do, give her the finger for me.
