100 Year Old Lady Has Date With First Lady

First lady Michelle Obama will be in the Bay Area on Saturday to participate in a U.S. Coast Guard ceremony in Alameda.

In 2010, Obama helped christen the Cutter Stratton in Mississippi, and on Saturday she will travel to Coast Guard Island to participate in the ship's commissioning ceremony, according to the White House.

The ceremony will place the ship in active service for homeland security and national defense duties, and will signify the Cutter Stratton's formal introduction to the Coast Guard fleet.

According to the White House, the first lady, as a sponsor of the ship, will ceremonially give the order to bring the vessel to life.

The Cutter Stratton is named for Capt. Dorothy Stratton, director of the Coast Guard Women's Reserve during World War II. Stratton oversaw 10,000 enlisted women and 1,000 commissioned officers, White House officials said.

Obama is expected to meet with several Coast Guard women veterans who served with Stratton, including Elfie Larkin.

The eyes belonging to the 100 year old Larkin have seen a lot in the past century.

"I was a radio operator doing the Morris code, sending the message accepting them and decoding," Larkin said.

Are Journalists really that dumb? The Morris code? Really?

I pray they are. Because if they're not, then they are consciously, deliberately trying to make US that dumb.

Yes, the Morris Code.

Most people don't know that we used cats to send coded messages during WWII, because the Russians couldn't decode cat language even if they figured out our system.

At least you don’t have to be there, all dressed up and acting respectful-like.

Apropos, your Breitbart t-shirt is here ;-).

I shall like to go one further, thus: “Cougar-Dust does She-Jackal”-—”oldest one-on-one action you’ve ever set eyes on, that is, if you have the stomach.”
