Politics and Culture

Michelle Obama is the same kind of polarizing figure Hillary Clinton was, but without the political savvy. Besides her obnoxious "Elect Obama so we won't suck" attitude, she reminds me of the, yes, sometimes "bitter" workers at the DMV.

And, you know how guys joke about their subservience to their wife ("Yeah, I have to check with the boss." You can see it clearly on TV commercials- A wife allows her husband to have the big screen TV after hiding it somewhere.)? Well, it's only funny if it isn't or couldn't be true; you don't hear women say, "I have to ask permission from my husband" or "He'll beat me up if I do that." Barack and Michelle joke around like that a lot, but I don't think it's funny because I suspect that Barack really is scared of Michelle. Heck, who wouldn't be?

Anyways, more here, here, here. Hitchens here. And an amazing Michelle on the Hugh Hewitt show.
