A pair of earings for the little lady who for the first time in her adult life is proud of America. Oh wait, them’s Chinese ear rings, honey...

When you make $300k/yr on the board, $600 earrings are chump change.

I hope that's what they are paying you to wear them!

That’s what we did too, no new earrings for me.
I hate this arrogant b**** and it has nothing to do with her race.

When you make $300k/yr as a nonmedically trained hospital administrator (frightening, isn't it), you don't even get a $600 stimulus payment.

We didn't get one. We're living on my husband's retirement pay, and I was trying to retire. But we have scrimped, done without and saved, and have (make that had) a nice nest egg. So we were too ‘rich.’ Trying to get back to work...

I pinged him anyway...too bad it's Friday, the talk-show circuit can't cover it.

Perfect example of moving from an ownership society to an earrings society.

She could have at least suggested green energy-saving upgrades such as hi-efficency appliances, solar or heat-pump upgrades, or even summer gymnastics classes but she chose BLING instead.

Typical elitist.

I don't get a stimulus check. Or even a thank you. I guess I'm one of the evil productive guys.

And she could get a third ring to put through her hubby’s nose. It would make it even easier to lead him around.

Recently someone called into the Rush Limbaugh radio program and said that Michelle Obama reminded him of Esther from Sanford & Son. I have to say I agree.

Oui, je sais. I knew that :-) Actually, she might never have actually said precisely that but her elitist aristocratic attitude made it sound plausible.

To add insult to injury, she made these remarks in Michigan.
