Heart of Snarkness |
is: Rock and Roll, baseball, comics, hockey, video games, education, animal rights, SoCal, grammar, raising chickens, examples of my social ineptitude, and the pratfalls of interacting with females, all with a healthy dose of snark. At least that's the plan. UPDATE: I do not usually post personal whining, so I guess interesting stories about MY experiences with women are mostly out, but I do reblog funny stuff from anyone else. Political tidbits are fair game; anything for a laugh, really. If it makes me smile or makes me angry I'll put it up here. So, snark is promised and shall be delivered. I'm a health nut and a vegetarian for six years now, so veggie stuff may pop up here as well. Also, I like to write, in case you didn't notice. |

Photo of the Day: Michelle Obama’s Prom Portrait
Who doesn’t love an election year feud? Ronald Reagan vs. Gerald Ford. Ted Kennedy vs. Jimmy Carter. Sarah Palin vs. Katie Couric. Michelle Obama vs. Ellen DeGeneres. Wait, what?
It seems that the daytime TV host, still smarting from losing a pushup contest against the First Lady in February, decided to retaliate by showing off a photo of young Michelle Robinson dressed for prom. DeGeneres showed the photo as they taped a segment for Monday’s show. She did also post her own prom photo, which is perhaps worse (is that a prom dress or something she stole from Marsha Brady’s closet?). Still, that’s quite a racy dress for the future FLOTUS — especially the side slit. In fact, Obama said she didn’t think she’d let her own daughters wear the dress.
Damn, this is blurry, but there’s a lot of stuff I like. No, Obama DOES treat women like an interest group, but he has to; he’s a politician. Plus, at least he and the Dems act like women are an interest group that they actually want to appeal to. I agree with at least the sentiment of the rest. I can’t afford health Insurance. I want billionaire presidents to stay out of my friends’ uteruses. I want Romney and the rest of the GOP to screw off. Maybe a liberal or libertarian could get more attention if the GOP stopped leaning so far right.
