Coulter slams Obama's dress sense as well as the way she wears her hair: Lashing out at ... Read More

So I skipped over their headline photo of a topless Barack Obama and scrolled down the front page at the Huffington Post and saw a cute photo of Natasha "Sasha" Obama and had an ONTD ( Oh No They Didn't) moment when I read the headline "Sasha Obama's Sassy Vacation Sunglasses." Sassy? I wasn't the only one who had a problem with the headline: If HuffPo had just one black editor, they would immediately stop using the word "sassy" to describe this ... Read More

Posted by Gina For almost two days, the lead story on Drudge Report was Barack Obama's PURPORTED purchase of a RARE ring made out of rhodium. The PURPORTED price of this precious metal ring encrusted with diamond flecks was a whopping.... wait for it....$30,000. Over at WAOD, I posted several blog reactions where Michelle was: A. Compared to Marie Antoinette: Michelle Antoinette gets a new bauble: a diamond and rhodium ring worth over $30,000. Shown (close to actual size) above. Remember when she said Bush’s $600 ...

As you know last month, CNN hired comedically challenged (yes, I made that up) and illiterate Black-woman-hating entertainer, DL Hughley for the sole purpose of being able to tell offensive racist jokes about Barack Obama without CNN being labeled racist. Yes, the age of the professional racist Black straw man is upon us. The powers that be will use Black faces to do what political correctness will not permit White people to do. You can read my views about the ... Read More

We have another in a growing list of laments that somehow the fact that Michelle Obama will not be working for someone else and will be free to fill her time with the activities of her choosing is somehow a great tragedy and a setback for women. This time its Rebecca Traister in The National Post in an article called "Not Such a Long Way Baby" Americans may be ready for a black president, but not, apparently, for a career-minded First Lady averse ...

Posted by Meagan: Well that didn't take long. The New York Daily has posted a retraction today to the story it ran mentioning that Michelle Obama ordered room service at the Waldorf-Astoria, dining on caviar and lobster.

Via Page Six: THE source who told us last week about Michelle Obama getting lobster and caviar delivered ... Read More

So talk radio was all abuzz today because some employee at the Waldorf Astoria hotel claims that MIchelle Obama ordered two lobsters and a bottle of champagne. While he was at a meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Michelle Obama called room service and ordered lobster hors d'oeuvres, two whole steamed lobsters, Iranian caviar and champagne, a tipster told Page Six. I first saw this story over at Sandra Rose, my heart fell when I read the title: Obama Mocks Himself ... Read More

Posted by Meagan: In the never-ending cascade of racially-tinged slights against Michelle, Bill O' Reilly weighed in during his show last night, saying Michelle Obama resembles an "angry woman". From Crooks and Liars: O’REILLY: Now, I have a lot of people who call me on the radio and say she looks angry. And I have to say there’s some validity to that. She looks like an angry woman. Did you ask her about that? JOHNSON: Don’t they say that about you, too? O’REILLY: Yeah, but I’m not ... Read More
