Irony is Fun

I'm not one to care too much about this stuff, but irony can be comical.

Michelle Obama at a Feeding America event...sporting $540 sneakers.

lol I've never had any $540 shoes but I can't imagine they'd be that much more comfortable than a $40 pair of shoes.

I found more comedy in her speech about feeding the entire White House with their lil garden.

I read up on her doing that, but didn't know she gave a speech about it. Do you have a link to a transcript?

I don't see a problem with that in and of itself, but the whole "green" thing is effing annoying...Not to mention I wouldn't doubt there being some type of stipulation on what you can and can't grow for yourself; pretty soon your vegetables and fruit will be monitored. If the government decides you're growing too much, now you'll have to fork it over to your neighbor!

I've read about a commercial farmer that was told he couldn't grow wheat. He only grew it for him and his family to consume, but since he was a commercial farmer, he was forced to either grow a required amount that he could also sell, or not grow it at all. Freaking ridiculous.

Yup. Justified through interstate commerce clause no less.
 
First Lady Michelle Obama, the knees of her cropped black slacks covered in dirt, planted herb seedlings and carrots in her new White House Kitchen Garden Thursday, telling local schoolchildren enlisted to help that fresh veggies are "brain food."

Making the point that homegrown is a cheap way for families to eat healthily, the First Lady asked the kids: "How much do you think it costs to do this garden?"

"Over $100,000," guessed a boy.

Laughing, Mrs. Obama replied, "My husband would go crazy if he thought we were spending that kind of money! ... It's between $100 and $200. So it's not a lot of money. And this garden can not only feed my family, but it's going to feed all the staff at the White House. We're going to serve it at some State Dinners."

Mrs. Obama said the top question she got from world leaders on her recent trip to Europe with the president was about the garden. "From Prince Charles on down, they were excited we were planting this."

As for another pressing question back home – when they'll need to worry about putting chicken wire around the garden to keep out a frolicking First Dog – Mrs. Obama said only, "Soon, soon!"

You'd think this nitwit bitch and her clueless husband never heard of the division of labor or its advantages.

I'll going out on a limb and say they've probably not heard of a lot of common sense ideas. The cost of the garden and how her husband wouldn't go for something with high expenses, while wearing the high cost fashion that she wears is funny... to me.

Then i cry.
