this is the way the world ends

On the same day that the U.S. Congress agreed to give George Bush another one hundred and sixty-five billion accountability-free taxpayer dollars to finance his war crimes in Iraq for the next several months (and his invasion of Iran in October,) what is our magnificent, Russert-worshipping press focusing on today?

They have managed to expose the financial waste story of the century.

It seems that Michelle Obama paid a clothing store one hundred and forty-eight dollars for the black and white dress she wore on "The View" this week, when the designer of the dress sells it for ninety-nine dollars on her own website.



Not with a bang, but a whimper...

I am shocked, SHOCKED, I tell you, to learn that, in this economy, Michelle Obama would pay full price for a dress rather than taking advantage of a discount by buying it direct.
Even though our President insists we're not really in a recession, and he has such an excellent record of understanding the economy, such spendthrift behavior represents nothing more than a betrayal of the American people. I am so sick I may not vote for Michelle Obama this November, but cast a vote of protest for her husband instead!

Ah...but did her shoes match the dress?

Off with her head for buying local....how shameful to actually do something to keep her neighbors employed.
