Turnip for What

I love Michelle.

Tuesday Kickstart: She Got Game

Starting a day later, in reverence to Dr. King. And in reverence to Mrs. Obama (TJ with the assist):



DON'T YOU EVER STEP UP IN HER WHITE HOUSE WITH NO WEAK SHIT. DO YOU HEAR ME?

Don't. You. EVER.

Now, for another kind of inspiration...how about the nerve-tingling-hot Sophie Rose?

Yeah, I thought that might do it for you. Let's go.

FLOTUS Like a Butterfly, Sting Like a Bee

Here's an excerpt from my phone conversation with my old man today.

Dad: "So long as [President Obama] doesn't do anything stupid before election day, like beat on Michelle, he should be okay."

Me: "Well, yeah, he'd have other things to worry about..."

Dad: "He'd have to deal with me. I'd have to go up to Washington and teach him some manners."

Me: "I don't even think you'd have to—Michelle can handle herself. If he slapped her around, he'd be on a cart being pulled up Pennsylvania Ave LONG before the election."

Dad: "A woman that we walk with at the track told me, 'Michelle Obama isn't attractive.' I said, 'Hater.'"


(For the record, that's a 75-year-old man calling someone a "hater." Don't ever wonder where I get it from.)

Maxim's Hot 100 List Announced

The 2009 edition of Maxim's "Hot 100" has been released, and sitting atop it is a new face: Miss Olivia Wilde. While I don't protest the selection, I don't necessarily agree with it either. Olivia's pretty, and certainly wouldn't get the cold shoulder from me at a bar if I was a single man. But hottest in the world? Eh. And then there's the opinion of my friend TD (who is a girl; and, surprisingly, a straight one):

"I was upset to see 'our' girl [Megan Fox, who finished no. 2 in voting] did not make #1…. But then I saw who did and I am very pleased. She used to be on The OC when I watched it back in the day…. I always thought this girl was SEXY SEXY!"

Maxim's thoughts on the top 5 (as found on Yahoo's "omg! news"):

1. Olivia Wilde: "We may not know a McDreamy from a McNugget, but when it comes to TV doctors, there is only one who makes our body temperatures rise. We were drooling over the NYC native long before she was injected into Fox's hit medical drama (House)."

2. Megan Fox: "Seriously, do women get more painfully hot than this? Megan Fox has the face of an angel, a body so perfect that God may have carved it out of soap and sex appeal that could melt a unicorn's horn. Plus, we hear she smells like clouds."

3. Bar Refaeli: "If there's any evidence that the Middle East is a land of beauty and wonder Bar is it. The 24-year-old Israeli supermodel with the brain blowing body scorched the cover of the famed Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition."

4. Malin Akerman: "In the dark world of Watchmen, Malin was tasked with one tough mission ... Watchmen wasn't the first time we've seen Malin and it won't be the last. She's got four new flicks on her busy schedule."

5. Mila Kunis: "Mila's combination of exotic beauty and gal-next-door charm would make any sane man forget his ex in three seconds flat."

Also, for the first time in history, the worlds of politics and sophomoric-men's-magazines have collided, as First Lady Michelle Obama clocked in at no. 93. "He may be dealing with two wars, an economic meltdown, and a rapidly graying dome, but at least our Commander in Chief gets to come home to the hottest First Lady in the history of these United States. (Sorry, Martha Washington!)" Nice to see Michelle getting some love.

The Obamas on election night

My sister passed a link along to me that has a flickr album of President Obama and his family before, during and after his acceptance speech. Click here for the full flickr album. Really not anything newsworthy but something that is great to see if you've been following the election closely.
