Oh right, like I'm the only one who noticed this.
Jennifer Lopez is known more for her big booty than she is for her singing and acting, yet no one has mentioned that Michelle has a nice big ass. I haven't even heard a comedian talk about it. Where's the respect?
All I'm asking is that someone acknowledges the fact that besides being classy, our First Lady has a great ass. I admit I might be a little jealous, but I still adore her (and no, I'm not gay, just observant).
The majority of California voted yes to Prop 8? You know, it would be so easy to just label California as The Homophobic State in the same way some people called Pennsylvania a racist state and Alaska (now suddenly) a redneck state. Or I could label it a celebrity-infested botox junkie state. I mostly prefer just calling it the Idiot State because come on, you voted for Arnold Swarzenegger for your governor, an ex-body builder and washed-up action movie star. Did you all do crack before going in the voting booth?
Oh, I just kid. :) But seriously, I'm over that. I'm so sick of mean-spirited and hateful labels. I feel bad for gays and lesbians in California. What happens now? Will married couples be forced to divorce? I did see that people are hitting the streets in many cities to protest it and hopefully it will make a difference. Right now, my heart goes out to them.
Keith Olbermann talked about this on his show tonight and I think he stated his point very well. He didn't call Californians stupid homophobes or anything like that. He made a plea for love and humanity for all people. I was touched by what he said. Here you can read the transcript and watch the Special Comment video.
This is a major pet peeve of mine about the political media. Please stop with the rhetorical questions like "What will Obama do his first week of presidency?" or what will Obama do about this issue or that issue...I don't care if you're a Senior Political Analyst or whatever you call yourself. If I wanted an opinion or guess, I'd just consult my Magic 8 Ball to get an answer. I'll even do it now. "Oh Great Magic 8 Ball, what will Obama do his first week of presidency?" Wait, I'm shaking it now...Done. It says: Why Don't You Wait and See Instead of Asking Stupid Rhetorical Questions and Making Predictions? Jeez, I can't believe my Magic 8 Eight Ball just got snippy with me! I think it has a good point though. You know what news reporters could do instead of discussing the issues, especially before there are any? They could try reporting the news. I know it's a little out there, but it's an idea.
If you want to see Barack Obama do a little stand-up comedy at the Alfred E. Smith charity dinner, you can check it out here: Part I and Part II. It really is funny. The quote I put up at the top of my blog was something he said during it.
