The parties on the taxpayers dimes...
No I don’t think there is a honky in that “choir”..just them light complexioned, articul8, don’t talk black kids...
from the article:
“Apologies to the many other VIPs. Presumably, all the governors in town for the NGA were at the dinner, but no attendance list was available. I can report that Texas’ chief executive, Rick Perry, nine days from the primary and never a fan of the NGA anyway, was home campaigning today.”

I have a friend who works there. I go to a specialist in Greensboro so we stop in a few times a year when we have extra time.
My friend says it is a great place to work. IIRC Rand McNally rates it among the top 25 free attractions to see in the US.
She should be wearing stockings. I know it’s not the in thing to do these days. Am I nuts or what? Could I be getting old and am I the only one who thinks the First Lady should be wearing stockings?
Nah, I just get catty about Michelle’s wardrobe FAILS. ;o)
I love catty on mo threads:)
I believe she should wear stockings too, but I also believe that Michelle doesn’t know much about good taste in attire or etiquette in the WH.
Could I be getting old and am I the only one who thinks the First Lady should be wearing stockings?
No, you're not the only one. I think the whole greasy leg look she sports is a bit low class. Besides that . . . control top pantyhose could be her new best friend.

While her legs look good, this skirt is too short for her age, sitting down. That is more naked Michelle than anyone wants.
She looks great in black, but ruins the look by the stupid return of the boob belt, and again the child size 6X sweater.
It really makes her look like she has Popeye forearms, not unlike that famous photoshopped version. "Manhands" indeed.
When Michelle stands, it looks as though she is crowning with a 10-pound baby about to emerge.
"The wide stance is most definitely NOT disgusting. Nor has it ever BEEN disgusting. And it will never BE disgusting in the future."
