This Woman's Work


Ok, I know AG is gonna bust my chops about this, but MO looks so good doing real work, even if I know that she had lots of SS to do the heavy lifting here.

The optics of this image are so good, the horrible horrible cynic in me has to ask if this was intended to offset Obama's ill considered 'Special Olympics' comment.

Way to go, First Lady. You rock.

  1. She should be bending a little more at the knees. She's going to hurt her back.

  2. That photo is a total PR stunt. Come on. Even Palin doesn't wear leather boots from the 80s to garden and she has no taste when it comes to fashion!

    And SS doing the heavy lifting? Um not!

    How about you stick to music, which is what you know, and AG sticks to feminism, which is what she knows!

  3. Of course it's a total PR stunt. never said it wasn't.

    But it's a good PR stunt, isn't it?

    But are you saying I can't be a feminist because I'm not female?

  4. Nothing says feminist solidarity like savaging someone for their fashion sense. Nothing patriarchal about that at all...

  5. It's easier to slay the patriarchy if you're dressed to kill.

  7. That special Olympics thing was retarded *. Is it not true that special Olympics bowlers have lower average final scores? So it's an accurate description of his bowling. Like if I get a really dark tan and comment that I'm closer to being black, that's not racism, it's just describing my condition. It's more discriminating to say it's discrimination.


    * Note: intentionally offensive use of "retarded."

  8. I'm excited for what this garden will do for the "slow food" movement, and for sustainable, organic, local agriculture.
