Thanks Yahoo, for the breathtakingly vapid AP article about FLOTUS
"Mrs. Obama discusses the meaning of good health, aging and her exercise, diet and beauty routines."

Well, certainly no conflict there with Phyllis Schlafly's viewpoint-- judging from her announcement that feminism is the most dangerous, destructive force in our society today.


I work at a college, by the way, and the subtle dismissal of women that I see in the classroom (on the rare occasions when they speak up in class-- I see it as internalized self-suppression) and in other areas is...... depressing.

Just feeling fed up today.......

4. Is there nothing that someone here can't complain about?
A puff piece promoting an interview in Prevention magazine is "vapid"?

Promoting health and nutrition is now a waste of time for First Ladies?
