Man with gun at Obama Town Hall

Kinda crazy / ridiculous that they can’t get rid of this guy with a gun.  I’m sure they will eventually.

I do confess to being mildly amused by the newscaster’s rather awkward phrasing “there are concerns about every president’s safety, but certainly this historic president, the 44th president of the united states” — because the number 44 is what makes his presidency historic, clearly. Erm.

I guess maybe they get in trouble from the NRA if they imply gun-toting nutjobs are often racist gun-toting nutjobs?

Michelle at Miriam’s

Yesterday, Michelle Obama volunteered at Miriam’s Kitchen. That’s the same place I go when I wake up at 4:30 in the morning with a sudden urge to fix breakfast for the hungry & homeless!

I think that must be a secret service guy behind her — he doesn’t look like any of the guys I’m used to seeing in the kitchen.  Very exciting!
