Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

In an interview broadcast on Monday's ABC News' World News Tonight With Diane Sawyer, Bob Woodward, author of the new book, Obama's War, told Sawyer he was unable to 'crack the code' of silence surrounding First Lady Michelle Obama.
It was a startling admission from the man who made himself famous with Watergate and later claimed to have sneaked past CIA guards to obtain a deathbed confession from Reagan CIA Director William Casey.
It is also a testament to the fear of Michelle Obama that while classified documents are routinely passed to Woodward, no one dared say a word, kind or unkind, about the First Lady.
Sawyer introduced the subject of Michelle Obama, saying, "It turns out even Woodward, the king of getting people to talk, can't crack the wall of silence aoout the president's formidable wife."
Sawyer asked Woodward, "You've written before about Laura Bush's role. Where is Michelle Obama in all this?
An uncomfortable Woodward replied, "I don't know. And I confess to not cracking that code, and I wish I had."
Sawyer followed-up, "Glean anything about her role?"
Woodward meekly responded, "She wants him home for dinner on time with her and the girls."
No question about it. Barack is clearly not an alpha male.
She probably doesn't want him answering those 3:00AM phone calls either, so as not to wake the girls.

She wears the pants in the Obama family.
With good reason.
She’s tense. She’s semi-smart. She’s harboring 3 centuries of resentment even though she has managed to find a path through it all.
Her “christian” upbringing didn’t include the forgiveness part. That’s why so many photos have captured her less-than-gracious inner self.
I’m just a casual observer but she has an inner oyster-pearl of bitterness she can’t release- could it be the fraudulent path to the whitehouse?
If you are comfortable with your life (grace) and are in harmony with God’s will peace will reign.
excellent points. Also I LOVE your tagline—you’re a wise one ;-).
“I’m gonna git you suckah!”
Most women would be angry once they realized they were stuck being married to a homosexual man.
Why anyone would waste time reading anything by Woodward is beyond me. He’s a hack journalist who is fed information by the CIA. He wouldn’t know how to investigate a story if his life depended on it. And you’re right—he didn’t even try to “crack the code.”
If you are comfortable with your life (grace) and are in harmony with God’s will peace will reign.
Amen to that. Also a great reminder. Thank you.
Does she occasionally have “her foot in his ass” like the behavior of Jesse Jackson Junior’s wife?
Nailed it. Subtract the resentments and there is not much there.
In other words "I don't care what you do, or where you go, or with whom (on the down-low) I just you home for dinner on time . . . ."
“Maybe it’s just that no one gives a rat’s ass about her.”
We have a winner!
