Forgive me in advance for fawning, but Michelle Obama is the coolest first lady ever. She clinched it for me this week by jumping double Dutch on the South Lawn as part of a “healthy kids fair.”

The scene underscored my impression of the first lady as utterly unencumbered by convention. She seems to feel free — free enough to loosen up and laugh a little, free enough to let her inner child peek through the veil of parenthood, free enough to be herself. ..."

I could pile on platitudes here about her professional accomplishments, or explore to what degree she is redefining the role of women, or predict how she will be viewed by historians in the pantheon of her predecessors. I could, but I won’t. That’s not my bailiwick.

Charles Blow?
What an unfortunate name.
Wonder if he has a brother named Joseph.

Please stop by the FReepathon thread and give it a bump. If you haven’t donated yet, please give it some thought.

Thank you!

These folks have absolutely NO respect for the position they hold. None.

And what’s with the cardigans, anyway?

I dunno which is worse-the boob belts or the sweaters.

They charge up to $7.50 for their rag, readers have been bailing out on it in DROVES, and THIS is the garbage they print. It’s trash before it’s even delivered.

Karate. Horse stance. On the other hand, any stance she takes is a horse stance.

Still more proof that the NY Times needs to be printed on soft two-ply.

Didn’t she sacrifice for the children and fly to Europe to push for the Olympics in Chicago?
