Because conservatism needs a makeover
I think she’s talking about the garden and the State Dinner and, well, I don’t know.
I kind of don’t give a crap.
I mean, that BELT. Much like looking directly at Medusa, you may want to be careful when looking straight at it. I believe it could actually cause spontaneous seizures.
The First Lady will join the ranks of all the reality-show talent seen in places like Brett Michael’s Rock of Love Bus and the thespian mecca that is Big Brother by appearing on Iron Chef. You know, that show with the food and militant-looking people cooking and chopping food and stuff. I don’t watch it, as I tend to stay away from all things kitchen and cooking-related. But I’ve heard it’s a compelling and groundbreaking show.
Michelle agreed to take part in the show to promote her campaign of healthy living. During the show, which attracts an audience of 1.5m in the US, she will be seen talking to the chefs about the importance of getting children to eat vegetables.
And, they’re even going to use ingredients from the newly-planted White House garden. You know - the one with the sludge in it from the Clinton years.
I think I’ll go grab a Quarter Pounder, FLOTUS, but thanks anyway.
Way to make a difference there, Mrs. Obama. Really.
Never mind the fact that the current administration is driving our economy into the ground. The First Lady is tilling it. Well, kind of. I mean, I think she just moved some sod around while a bunch of kids did most of the work. This is huge news, people. Just in case you didn’t see it this past weekend on a gazillion different channels and on every major online news source, Michelle Obama has spearheaded a groundbreaking (pun intended) initiative to create an organic garden on the White House lawn. To promote healthy eating via locally-grown produce, the garden has been touted as a symbolic weapon in the fight against increasing obesity in this country. What’s comical to me is the press coverage this warranted. I mean, it’s as if no one has ever planted a garden. Ever. Anywhere. (I actually planted one this weekend myself, but I did it sans the help of a bunch of child labor and without CNN filming me. Go figure.)
So, yeah. In the midst of our economic apocalypse, we have a new White House garden. And God bless Jimmy Kimmel to use this as an excuse to make a Clinton-ho joke…
