1.  Last night on the NBC Nightly News they profiled the WH Receptiontist.  She is a well educated young woman, but she is deaf, and cannot speak other than signing.  So she has an interpreter that assists her in her duties and answers the phone.  So basically, we have two people doing a one person job.  Surely they could have found this woman, who has a PhD, another job in the WH where they wouldn't have to employ a second person to help her do her job.  I'm in favor of hiring the handicapped when they can do the job and making reasonable accomodation, but this seems to me to be an unreasonable accomodation. 

2.  Saw a story recently about Michelle Obama's redecoration of the family dining room.  Seems she likes contemporary and that is reflected in her choice of furniture and paintings.  Unfortunately she is living in a Colonial mansion at the expense of the taxpayers. 

3.  Michelle Obama recently fired the WH florist because she doesn't like her asthetic.  Seems Michelle perfers more contemporary floral arrangements and this florist specializes in more elaborate floral displays.  The WH florist, like the Chef and others are not specifically hired by each President, but tend to serve for years until someone lets them go. 

4.  Although the fashion media "loves" the style of Michelle Obama, she just continues to make one disasterous choice after another.  Today showed her getting off the plane in Japan in a sleeveless dress that was nothing short of ugly.  Give us back another first lady like Laura Bush who was always beautifully dressed. 

Glad to get that off my chest.
