I didn't catch this--glad that Don Surber did...

Michelle Obama said: “You’re getting $600. What can you do with that? Not to be ungrateful or anything. But maybe it pays down a bill, but it doesn’t pay down every bill every month.”

Oh wait. She was talking about President Bush’s $600 stimulus last year, and not her husband’s $600 stimulus this year.

So she does get it. That makes it even more depressing. Still, 600 dollars beats 13 bucks everytime.

Also from Surber, is this:

The National Health Service may not provide health care in a timely manner, but by golly, it can provide separate refrigerators for halal, kosher, vegetarian and normal food — as well as admonish staff not to meet where alcohol is served for fear of offending Muslims, the London Telegraph reported.

I guess offending Mormons by drinking booze is OK.

Seems as good a time as any to point out that Mormons AREN'T offended by drinking. Mormons don't drink because they make promises not to--as a sign of their faith, like a yarmulke, a cross, or a Sikh kirpan. Its a matter of personal conduct, not general proscription.
