"Michelle Obama dishes on diet, favorites in magazine
WASHINGTON — Michelle Obama dishes on the first family’s health and eating habits in a new magazine interview, admitting she cannot stand beets and that she does an occasional dietary “cleanse’’ to clear her palate and change her mindset.
In an interview for the September issue of Ladies’ Home Journal, Mrs. Obama said she recently was “on a sort of cleanse’’ in which she was just eating vegetables. The first lady, who is on a campaign against childhood obesity, also says she never talks about weight with her daughters because the topic is too sensitive, and that she made the girls take up tennis under protest.
But she can lecture your kids!

I respectfully decline, thanks.
“I have them do a sport that they like and a sport that I like,’’ she said. “I want them to understand what it feels like to do something you don’t like and to improve. Because in life you don’t always get to do the things you want.’’
Unless you are Israel.
Daughters Sasha and Malia resisted tennis at first, she says, “but now they’re starting to get better and they actually like it. And I’m like, ‘Mom was right!’ ’’
Michelle Obama also made a point to show she is human when it comes to diet and exercise: She said there are days when she skips her typical 4:30 a.m. workout and that on a recent weekend in Chicago she “ate everything that was available. In fact, we had a take-out food-fest.’’
Yeah, now eat this pile of s***, 'murkns!
*********
She does not give a lot of detail about her cleanses, saying that she might do one for two days but that “it isn’t a way of life because I like food too much.’’
This while 1 in 8 Americans is starving.
Her cleanse involves eating as many fruits and vegetables as possible and cutting out fats, oil, dairy, meat, caffeine, sugar, and starch for a short period of time, according to the White House.

I feel like I need a cleansing(?) after that?
Is that what is next on the menu?
Little lean, aren't they?

That's all right; the Obama's are eating good.

Better not miss the BBQ:
"6 drowning victims at La. barbecue were from 2 families" by Associated Press | August 4, 2010
SHREVEPORT, La. — Seven teenagers from two families were splashing around in the shallow waters of the Red River when one of them stepped off a slippery ledge and plummeted into much deeper water. The others tried to save the boy even though none of them could swim, but they too were swallowed by the water, some 20 to 30 feet deep.
Then why were they in the river?
Their relatives, who couldn’t swim, either, looked on helplessly as six struggling teens screamed for help, then vanished and drowned on Monday afternoon....
The large group of family and friends had gathered for an afternoon of swimming and barbecuing in the oppressive heat. The group had only been at the river for about 10 minutes when tragedy struck; they didn’t even have time to set up the barbecue....

WASHINGTON — White House press secretary Robert Gibbs says Obama “greatly enjoys’’ the job....
My sense is he loves the perks that come with the role of front man.
Earlier, during remarks at a meeting of the AFL-CIO’s governing executive council, Obama joked that he was disappointed that there was no cake.
“I’m going to have to talk to Secret Service,’’ Obama said. Then, casting a glance toward the agents, he said teasingly, “They’re probably eating it right now.’’
Yeah, I think you should -- although I would watch the insults.
Meanwhile, the president’s birthday — though a year shy of the big 5-0 milestone — is being used in this election year as a prime fund-raising opportunity for Democratic candidates and party organizations.

Put away that checkbook, American.
Obama will tour an auto plant today in Chicago and attend Democratic fund-raisers before returning to Washington.
How does that help the global warming mess?
Want to go to the carnival after lunch?
ALLENTOWN, Pa. — The game, dubbed “Alien Attack,’’ featured a large painted image of a black man wearing a belt buckle with the presidential seal and holding a scroll labeled “Health Bill.’’ Players could win prizes such as stuffed animals by hitting targets on the image’s head and heart.
The game was featured in late July at the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Big Time Celebration, an annual fair that raises money for the Roman Catholic parish in Roseto.
Kathryn Chapman, 55, of Medford, Mass., who spent part of her childhood in Roseto and was in town for a family reunion, spotted the game and complained....
“What is the message you are sending kids, that if your views don’t agree with somebody else’s, shoot them? I just found it incredibly disrespectful and violent,’’ Chapman said yesterday....
Israel does it all the time and no one seems to care.
And Ms. Chapman obviously doesn't mean the millions of Muslims we have slaughtered over lies.

Strange, readers, but I have lost my appetite.
