    So? Why shouldn't they eat what they want?

    Did I say they shouldn't, Christoph?

    Have you heard of Marie Antoinette?

    And what would you have her do, eat at McDonald's?

    Now that would be American, right?

    That's right, Mushi [do you prefer to be addressed as Ms. Loola?]. McDonald's would be All-American. It would also taste better, be less filling, and healthier too. Not to mention less taxing. Thanks for your input.

    Ooops! Hey, It's all just hearsay anyway. Why would anybody bother to check facts? It's just an election.

    "Well that didn’t take long. The New York Daily has posted a retraction today to the story it ran mentioning that Michelle Obama ordered room service at the Waldorf-Astoria, dining on caviar and lobster. Turns out she wasn’t even at that hotel. A big to-do about nothing. Will the right-wing pundits back off from attacks on her based on bad information? Of course not.

    Via Page Six:

    The source who told us last week about Michelle Obama getting lobster and caviar delivered to her room at the Waldorf-Astoria must have been under the influence of a mind-altering drug. She was not even staying at the Waldorf. We regret the mistake, and our former source is going to regret it, too. Bread and water would be too good for such disinformation."

    And, as to Ms. Loola, that's fine. Do you mind if I call you, Mr. Hanky?

    Hello Ms.Loola,

    It's nice to hear from you again. What's a poor blogger to do? So much fact checking; so little time.

    I have to leave the fact checking to the MSM. They normally do it very well, especially those who support Obama. I just comment on the news as reported.

    As for "Hanky", that sounds like "Honky", which as you know is a derogatory racial slur for white people. But if you must play the race card, it's Dr.Hanky to you.
