“First lady Michelle Obama is not pleased about the marketing of a pair of dolls that bear the same names as her daughters. ‘We believe it is inappropriate to use young private citizens for marketing purposes,’ Ms. Obama’s spokeswoman said.” [Chicago Business; Earlier]

    @Inertia_90:

    It’s gay-related simply because Michelle is down
    with the gays. Queerty has posted plenty of
    Michelle stories since the election…

    How DARE the gay white racist community – the SAME ONES – who HUNG a NOOSE on Sarah Paling neck!? – now trying to heal the hole in the pocket from all the money they have lost because of the election of Obama… now try to chase LOOSE CHANGE on the STAGE like Rupaul and Dianne Fiernsteings?

    *Offers Monica a sedative*

  • PearlsBeforeSwine

    In the past, the families of President’s have been off limits to the media. You can help preserve this tradition by complaining to store managers when you see magazines and products that exploit the families of the President.

    And PEOPLE, Monica Roberts needs an ANTI-PSYCHOTIC, not a SEDATIVE.

    Speaking of First Lady Michelle Obama:

    Michelle Obama is a racial-minority individual, and in her heart and mind she inevitably does not endorse hate crimes committed by George W. Bush.

    George W. Bush committed hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism (indicated in my blog).

    George W. Bush did in fact commit innumerable hate crimes.

    And I do solemnly swear by Almighty God that George W. Bush committed other hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism which I am not at liberty to mention.

    Many people know what Bush did.

    And many people will know what Bush did—even to the end of the world.

    Bush was absolute evil.

    Bush is now like a fugitive from justice.

    Bush is a psychological prisoner.

    Bush has a lot to worry about.

    Bush can technically be prosecuted for hate crimes at any time.

    In any case, Bush will go down in history in infamy.

    I am not sure where I had read it before, but anyway, it is a linguistically excellent statement, and it goes kind of like this: “If only it were possible to ban invention that bottled up memories so they never got stale and faded.” Oh wait—off the top of my head—I think the quotation came from my Lower Merion High School yearbook.
