Is the wookie favoring a bum left knee, or is she distancing herself from the 2012 “contender”?

Michelle’s every step is agony, the tall one wants to show us she’s above this, and Hussein’s last friend in the family hasn’t learned enough about him yet.

This was the best photo Big Media had to run with... something to think about.

Hi Maggie!

I also posted it here at the Sunday Talk Show thread.

Their poses and body language give off a cold vibe, don't they?

Did AP outsource the editors to China this weekend? The first word is misspelled. Should be EDGARTOWN not DGARTOWN.

And taxpayers were made to pay for two jets because these two can’t get their marital act together!? Jeez, probably the best gift taxpayers could give these two is cutting their travel budget in half.

One of my hobbies is genealogy. I was researching one family from way back when and discovered they settled Martha’s Vineyard. The computer with my data on it crashed and my computer expert has not had time to retrieve it. Wish I could remember which family it was. I just found it very interesting.

This might help....

The History of Marthas Vineyard

The next explorer, and the first one to leave any account of the island, was Bartholomew Gosnold, of Falmouth, England. In 1602 he sailed for Virginia. Contrary winds drove him to the Azores; thence he sailed a little north of west, and struck out boldly across the Atlantic. He was the first Englishman to sail directly to the American coast, thereby saving nearly a thousand miles in distance and at least a week in sailing time. He landed on a cape which he named Cape Cod from the abundance of codfish found there. Then doubling the cape and sailing to the southward he landed on a small island about six miles southeast of Gay Head. He called this small island Martha’s Vineyard. The next day he landed on the larger island. After exploring it and finding it so large, well wooded, and with such luxuriant grape vines, many beautiful lakes, and springs of the purest water, he transferred the name and called it Martha’s Vineyard, in honor of his mother whose name was Martha. The other island he named No-Man’s-Land.
