Michelle Obama released her official White House portrait today, and it´s hard to miss the photo´s most prominent feature: her bangs. The 49-year-old fashion-forward first lady debuted the bangs in January, sending the Internet into a frenzy. She recently told TV host Rachael Ray that the bangs were her version of a "mid-life crisis." The new portrait, taken in the Green Room of the White House on Feb. 12, shows

Holy Mackerel Andy....last time I saw a mouth like that, it had a hook in it..
But seriously, given what the photographer had to work with, it ain´t that bad...

Too bad. She has worn much better hair styles than this one.

OK. The bangs make her nose look wider and blobbier and her face doughier. She can no longer let a sweep of hair cover that her "Little (right) Eye". And she generally looks older and more common. If that is possible.

And she´s now stuck with all those bange wigs of different lengths. Just when the closet floor was so cluttered...

Those "sensible" sleeves the writer noticed cover those menopausal (former) guns. Not so toned any more, they often show the batwing-iness that comes with age.

Oozing toward the big Five-O.

She looks like helmet head. She can appear quite pretty with the right cut, this isn´t it. She should try off the shoulders out of the face and add some curls.

Some outrageous folks opine that that new wig (and it is a wig, kids) covers cosmetic surgery scars.

And/or she has been spending too much time lately with Anna Wintour of Vogue - where she is said to be on the March cover. ??? Has anyone seen it in the supermarket and turned it over?

Maybe it´s just me, but doesn´t this whole dog and pony show bother anyone else? I don´t care how flattering her bangs or sleeves are, or how the photgrapher did a reasonably good job given the subject. The country is going through the toughest economic times since the Great Depression; we are being invaded by foreign nationals who are taking our jobs, medical care, educational opportunities and promise to skew our elections; our national defense is being gutted; we no longer have a reasonable expectation of representation at the federal level; we have certifiably liars, loons and buffoons at our highest cabinet levels; we have a president who is either complicit or indifferent to our suffering and in the midst of all of this insanity, Michelle unveils her self-portrait after flying back from her annual, taxpayer funded, ski trip to Aspen and her husband´s taxpayer funded $1M plus three day golf weekend. I wish I could say that this is a Marie Antoinette level of disengagement and disinterest, but even poor Marie cared more. This is more like Nero.

I do not like this woman, not one bit. But this picture of her is good, as far as pictures go. If she would just dress and look this way when she is on official White House business, she would be MUCH less of an embarrassment. A quiet dress with no wide and high belt, pearls (not a chunky African necklace), a nice hair style and an actual smile on her face. Even her nails are toned down and nicely done, with no loud jewelry. This picture doesn´t make me cringe.

I just love reading all the oozing up to Moo trash being written when the truth is that the woman is repulsive and a single look at her is enough to put any need to find a word beyond "ugly" to describe her. Whe really does her in is that she´s ugly from the inside out and it shows. I don´t care which sleaze designer she favors, they can hang anything on her and it won´tl change mean, nasty, cheap, and classless. In a woman like this pig, it´s inbred.

I´d rather read her answers to why she no longer has a law degree and about 50 more questions that were inspired after reading her Princeton thesis in which she makes it crystal clear that her hatred for "whitey" is real.

WASHINGTON — Attorney General Eric Holder, the nation´s chief law enforcement officer, returned to the courthouse where he once served as a judge, this time in the role of prospective juror performing his civic duty. The Justice Department said Holder wasn´t chosen and that he won´t be called back. Had he been selected for the jury Tuesday, the attorney general would have been on a panel hearing an armed robbery case. Holder sat in the last row of Judge Stuart Nash´s courtroom along with other prospective jurors as the judge gave details of the case.

MSNBC´s programming became almost entirely full of commentary and opinion in 2012, while "factual reporting" saw almost no airtime, according to a new report from the Pew Research Center. The report, which is part of Pew´s annual comprehensive State of the News Media, found that opinion and commentary fill 85 percent of the airtime on MSNBC. The network only devotes 15 percent to "factual reporting," according to the Pew study. To conduct the study, Pew looked at a half-hour of daytime programming for the first five months of 2012

The U.S. has been denied direct access to the only publicly known suspect in custody in connection with the Benghazi terror attack, Fox News has learned, with U.S. interrogators still unable to sit in the same room as the Egypt-held prisoner to ask questions. Abu Ahmed, also known as Mohammed Jamal, is suspected of establishing Islamist training camps in Eastern Libya where militants who took part in the Sept. 11 Benghazi terrorist attack were able to train. Ahmed is not suspected of directly taking part in the attack which left four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, dead.

For the past five months, the Republican message on foreign policy message has been defined by a single word: Benghazi. Ever since the deadly September 11 attack on the U.S. compound in that Libyan city, Republicans have obsessed over the episode. Mitt Romney made Benghazi a favorite talking point in the 2012 campaign home stretch. More recently, Republicans have invoked Benghazi to shoot down one would-be cabinet nominee, Susan Rice, and delay two others, Chuck Hagel and John Brennan. They have dragged a parade of administration officials, including Hillary Clinton

TIMBUKTU, Mali - One of the last things the bearded fighters did before leaving this city was to drive to the market where traders lay their carpets out in the sand. The al-Qaida extremists bypassed the brightly-colored, high-end synthetic floor coverings and stopped their pickup truck in front of a man selling more modest mats woven from desert grass, priced at $1.40 apiece. There they bought two bales of 25 mats each, and asked him to bundle them on top of the car, along with a stack of sticks.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”
