Michelle Obama's Red Dress

Glory be at the state dinner for China's Hu Jintoa! Did you get a load of Michelle Obama's red dress? She was inside these incredible layers of bold, fuck- you- if- you- don't- like- it- screaming-red-dress that could have been previouly desired/owned by Areatha or Oprah. So here is another unintended consequences of the American Civil War-the poor casualties of North and South who died for nothing. Methinks the dress is much about getting even. During the Civil rights era, white peoples conspicuous consumption was highlighted and criticized by Dr. King and other southern black demagogues as examples of the false values of America's ruling elite and their disregard for blacks who were in need. But give this black a chance and lo and behold, she steals the spotlight from the honored guest with the conspicuously consumptive red dress.

President Obama tried to put the best face on the questionable dress choice. He was heard talking to Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein, "Do you think Michelle looks too much like a Polish Jew?" Ah the kike and the darky refreshingly play at mock sophistication.

Dick Cheney's Revealing Comment

Yesterday on a Fox News interview Dick Cheney made an interesting comparison. He was defending the Bush Administration's war policies when he said, " If you think about what Abraham Lincoln did during the Civil War.... [he] went far beyond anything we've done in the global war on terror".

He's right. Lincoln was acting more like Saddam Hussein's treatment of the Shiites and Kurds in his over-the-top punishment and occupation of the American South. The Civil War was not justified nor was its barbaric prosecution.
John Wilkes Booth provided some but not off setting justice to that crime. Now there was an actor who could do more than just act.
