Michelle O'Bossy: Do as we say, not as we do
The Los Angeles Times ripped into Royal Family hypocrisy today - albeit subtly - with the following article. You will definitely want to follow the link at the bottom for 13 - count 'em! - pictures of our Glorious Leader stuffing his face with all manner of unhealthy food, punctuating the Big Talking-To by Michelle O'Bossy.Be sure to visit Michelle's Mirror's take too: Nutrition and Economics: We Know More Than You Do.
Question: Does Our Glorious Leader need a brush-up session on graceful table manners? And how does he maintain his lack of weight - which is bordering on phantomesque? Does he have an eating disorder?Next, Michelle Obama's health reform plan for the nation's restaurant menus and families dining out

First Lady Michelle Obama, who has been unable to convince the Smoker-in-Chief to give up that dreadful habit, now has some health suggestions for other American families and for restaurant menus across the country. The goal is to eat healthier, although that might hurt restaurant sales and cause disappointed children.
Obama, who has made combating childhood obesity and inactivity her favored causes, addressed the National Restaurant Assn. (See the text below, along with photos of her husband not eating arugula.) She, of course, has her own personal chef brought in from Chicago and took full parental responsibility for guiding her daughters' diets because parents are crucial habit-formers and role models, even in food choices.

Inquiring minds want to know . . . .
Also, on a hopeful note: Interesting that the liberal LA Times has chosen some highly unflattering pictures of their once White House Idols. Methinks the bloom is off the rose. But it would certainly be more helpful for them to discuss some substantive issues rather than practice this kind of sabotage based on the superficial. Time to get some guts.
