“I’m Comin’ Out”

It was a bit of an off day, which was just fine with me. I’m still processing the O’s respective commencement addresses into my hard drive for future reflections.  And since Lady M wasn’t dressin’ for success yesterday, I took the opportunity to catch up on all of your snarky comments, recuperate from all those mai tais and martunnys from the day before and study our newest nominee to the Supreme Court, Elena Kagan.

I like her name, it just glides off the tongue, which is always a big hit in this administration. Never having been a judge before, she doesn’t have much of a paper trail, so I’m reduced to evaluating her on more superficial aspects – which is also a special advantage around here.

The-supremes Anyway, Elena meets all of Lady M’s criteria: female, but not too female, not too tall, not too slim, and definitely not black (Lady M wants to be the first wise black Suprema – she just needs to get one of her Chicago friends to straighten out that little misunderstanding with her law license.) And she has already demonstrated her ability to wear robes smartly:

But back to Elena - she seems really nice. Both she and Lady M have always been big Supremes/Diana Ross fans (we discovered this on Ellie’s iPod when we were vetting her.)

American Idols-seperated at birth American Idols: separated at birth?

Ellie has Lady M’s total support. She won’t be any competition for her in the fashion-forward department, although I can see Ellie and our wise little Latina going head-to-head for top SCOTUS fashion spot. And there’s likely to be a bit of cat fighting in chambers, since, as mean Ann pointed out, Ruthie will no longer be the pretty one on the bench. (Don’t blame me for bringing it up,I’m just passing it on. Blame Annie, or Gerard – they’re both a couple of troublemakers.)

And here, I think, is a good sign: I couldn’t locate even one image on my hard drive of Ellie wearing red. I’m not saying that this means anything in and of itself. I’m just saying…

there is definitely a Red Queen  around here somewhere, and I don’t think it’s Ellie.correspondance

  1. There is some speculation of the "orientation" of Ms Kagen. I don't really care what anyone does as long as I don't have to watch, but it raises the question of the infamous "transparency" the O's have been claiming. BO's praise of Ms Kagen missed the whole point of the Supremes, to interpret the Constitution.
    MO could take some valuable tips from The Supremes' Diana Ross. There was never a singer who dressed more spectacular on and off stage.
    There does seem to be a serious lack of hair stylists available to the women in politics.
    Most of them seem to favor the football-helmet look or don't bother with anything more than a wide-toothed comb. No curly/wavy do's, no elegant twists/buns, just blah.

  4. I like the robe because it covers MO's gargantuan ham hocks.

    Now if she would just keep that big mouth shut.

    I wonder how many flies she has swallowed with that gaping hole.

  5. Please get Jill Biden a new hairdresser.

    Her hair looks like bleached out, fried out hay.

  6. I am not allowed to come to this site anymore except during my very own personal "down time" since I draw too much attention away from "real work" by laughing and falling off my chair.

  8. Secrets?

    The only secret or mystery is what happened to all the mirrors in the WH?!

    Did somebody steal them?

    Obviously, there aren't any, except for Barry's private mirror for him to gaze and admire his own reflection.

    WTF is up with Lady M wearing a Mickey Mouse hat in the American Idol picture? Did she rip the M off the center because it's white and therefore mean? Looks like she had a nose job since that was taken. I must say, though, the thug expression on her face would make it a great photo for a Black Panther ID card.

    As for Ellie, not only has she never been a judge, but she has argued only six cases as Solicitor General. Also, when she was the Dean of Harvard Law School, she didn't want to allow military recruiters on campus because of the government's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy towards gays in the military. It didn't matter that this policy was credited to her former boss, Bill Clinton, or that Harvard would lose all federal funding. She fought all the way to the Supreme Court where she was thoroughly trounced by 8 against her motion. So, she must be eminently qualified to be a Supreme or a bouncer who listens to the Supremes!

    I just put my "Fire Nancy Pelosi" sticker on our bumper. We're driving from Florida to California next week and I want to be sure to annoy any dems who might see it as we go across. I hope voters will at least remove her from the powerful position she holds now by putting republicans in the majority.

  12. Stand Up Chuck. Be prepared for rabid liberal drivers. They do NOT like your opinions voiced even on a sticker, and will run up against your bumper with great angst and purpose out west. Just Axe me. I hope you are driving also a large Ford truck. It is the only thing that has saved me on several occasions.

    MOTUS, I am working on my next novel. Among the menagerie of characters, there are some very ugly and questionable sexs, such as the mascaraed toads on display here. Except of course for the little rat face left of Sonia. That is a rat, isn't it? Perhaps it is a frightened little roach. Anyway, there are these creatures, depraved centegenarians bloated with botox and estrogen injections, and they prey on the hapless for validation and taxes. I was going to publish the work as fiction, but now with these crones in the ranks of public service, I might get sued for plagerism.

    Say, is that Gibbsy dressed as a woman? Because I could swear he has the same reptilian beady eyes as that Kagan Thingy.

    We used to have a lot of great hair stylists around DC, but they all left with John Edwards.

    Anon1:

    Not my fault... I didn’t know her in “the day”.

    Portia:

    OMG, I hope you are wrong. There aren’t enough Spanx on this planet to keep MO in all those doilies.

    Anon2:

    I think you have crossed the line. Lady M can’t keep those hocks in shape with her mouth closed.

    BTW, flies are surprisingly high in protein and low in trans-fats.

    Anon3:

    Like I told srdem, they all left with John Edwards. Oh, and that’s Dr. Jill Biden to you.

    Labwriter:

    Oh, I’m soooo sorry for getting you in trouble. Is it mostly the laughing or the falling off the chair that’s a problem? If it’s the chair, you could try a seat belt.

    Anon4:

    We’re opening an investigation into how Ms. Dana came into possession of this classified information. I suspect lunch with Desi.

    Anon5:

    Hello, do you know who I am?

    MJ:

    I have a copy of her Black Panther ID card on my hard drive, and she still had her old high school schnoz.

    Here in Big White, we see Ellie as “HOPE”, and “CHANGE” “YOU CAN BELIEVE IN”. Can we get her confirmed, even as a blank slate? “Yes we can!”, “MMM, MMM, MMM!”

    Anon6:

    As long as it stays on her shoulder and off her “butt cheeks”, it’s not my problem.

    /Stand Up Chuck:

    Listen to bettyann. There’s SEIUs in them thar hills.

    bettyann:

    That is not fiction at all ... that is my life!

    Gibbsy does, on “special nights”, “dress up” ... but you wouldn’t mistake him for Ellie; he wears much more make-up.

    Lynn:

    983 now. Wow! Time is really flying by ... Not!

    We will be driving a Ford 150 4wd supercab with a few battle scars from Walmart shopping carts. I don't think a prius or volvo will mess with us. We've been driving republican stickers across since we moved from California 10 years ago. Soon there won't be any taxpayers left in that state. We'll be sure to spend one night in Arizona to show support.

  16. What is going on with Michelle Antoinette's hair in the "college gown" photo? Why does it go flat against her skull for an inch or so and then springs up like a surfer's dream wave into one HUGE head curl? It's the inch or so before the spring that puzzles me. Do you think she had a headband on and removed it and is suffering from Headband Hair?

    Not a headband, it was her crown.
