Isn't she lovely?

In her prime-time speech Monday, Michelle Obama foiled her harshest detractors and perhaps even won over Middle America.

    "Michelle Obama foiled her harshest detractors"?

    Michelle Obama did a beautiful, brilliant job last night.

    But I know for sure that one of her detractors wasn't foiled.

    Our local paper's website here in Lubbock hosts several blogs, including that of a very rightwing retired retina surgeon and bloviator extraordinaire, Donald May.

    Boy, was he not foiled by Michelle Obama's speech. Read this. It's a hoot, actually.
