    Even if...

    EVEN IF the email wasn't lying - that Michelle Obama's thesis is a glowing paean to all things Black Power...

    So fucking what?

    Something she wrote as a 21 year old certainly shouldn't be held against her as a 40-something mother of two now should it? You don't think she could've...ya know...changed her mind? Nah...once you have an opinion on something there it stays immoveable for the rest of your life right?

    And besides...Do you REMEMBER the stupid shit you believed when you were 21?? No really, think back...there are few things in life more irritating than a 21 year old. Would you be okay with being judged on a journal you wrote in when you were 21? I know I certainly wouldn't.

    The only people who believe that someone can't change their mind in 25 years of living are morons and republicans (I guess that's only one type of person...)
