Clever writing. I like how you talk about the Michelle Obama makeover without too explicitly discussing the Michelle Obama makeover.
I remember when I first saw a photo of her here at a Salon. She was wearing a short white skirt and was being viewed from below a high platform. Not a good idea.
She has "come a long way baby" from being an outspoken woman to being the perfect image of first lady fifties-style vanilla meringue. You could plunk her right down in that movie "Pleasantville" and she would threaten no one. She wouldn't even turn into technicolor.
Tonight she was lovely. The speech was lovely. The dress was lovely. The sublimation to the demands of the occasion was lovely.
They really should pay women a great deal to assume the role of first lady, since those women have to give up so much.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
The survivor and author is upset about comparisons some on the right are making to genocide
Once seen as a lunatic fringe, reactionary anti-women groups are courting respectability
