She was actually kind of cool in the flick. I wonder if she's that chill in real life.

You know what's fun? Hearing about all of this transition stuff. I'm pretty sure in 2000 I just drank myself into oblivion to try and forget my troubles, so I missed it all...

It means Obama didn't have to wear a "I'm With Stupid" T-shirt, with the finger pointing, in order to distance himself from Dubya.

If this election demonstrated anything, it's that that ellipsis should be an exclamation point.

"so...uh, you pretty much sucked as president and i'm gonna reverse everything you did. will you get out of my house now?"

Brown, with that Dorothy Hamill hair? Dreary, poor thing, but I don't think she gives a rat's ass.

But what can you say about the Divine Michelle? She looks amazing here because she IS amazing. Tall, smart, and confident is a pretty good hand to play. And BLAMMO! anyway -- she just fucking pwns the color game, looking great in yellow, red, orange, blue, purple, black & white. Color-wise she hasn't made a misstep so far. She doesn't have the well-born prissiness of a Mrs. Kennedy or the Bonfire of the Vanities grossness of a Mrs. Reagan. She's set to be the most fashionable First Lady of our lifetimes.

Pardon my gush.

And Michelle seems to have a liking for Nancy-Reagan-Red dresses; and wears them well. Poor Laura seems already to be going for schoolmarm/librarian couture. Why not just complete the Nixon metaphor and get her a cloth coat and the Bush twins a puppy named "Checkers"?

I thought this was going to be a cake walk, but this presidency thing has been a bitch. Heh, heh.

Seriously, it's about time we had some class in the White House, and Michelle knows how to bring it, and Obama is there too.
