No, folks. It’s not an Onion headline. Yesterday, while on a trip to South Africa, First Lady Michelle Obama did sit-ups, push-ups and kicked around a soccer ball with the nearly-80-year-old Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu and local children. Obama, who seemed to truly enjoy herself, encouraged the kids to make safe and healthy choices. ABC News has more:
When Tutu introduced the first lady, he announced that she was a VIP, but then he also told each of the children in attendance that they were all VSPs, which the kids rightly guessed meant “very special persons.”
The first lady said her co-host, a famed leader in the fight for racial equality in South Africa, was a special man.
“Well, Archbishop Tutu, I think you’re a VSP, too,” she said, laughing. “You guys are going to show us some soccer moves. … Are you ready to? We might show you our moves.
Watch the two engage in athletic exercises below:

Posted on June 25, 2011 at 9:56amI’ve never understood how a first lady can go on an “offical trip” – as far back as Kennedy, when I see pics, hear about foreign trips, I always wonder about it.
I guess I could do the research, but I have more important issues to worry about.
It just seems odd – we elected one person, but, the other goes on vacations at our expense? We didn’t elect that person. What is their official capacity?
Even IF we ‘elected’ the first lady by electing their husband, what about divorces, single presidents? etc.?
What if they marry women that are despised by the nation? If we elected the spouse by proxy, then we would be able to impeach the President by proxy for marrying the wrong woman?
I understand the first lady running the whitehouse in a domestic capacity – don‘t go hatin’ on me, haters, I didn’t make the rules or seek the job. I even understand having a staff to assist in carrying out THOSE duties.
But, when it comes to travelling around the world on vacations at taxpayers’ expense…

So then the show “Martin” must have been the most racist show ever produced. Funny how it’s O.K. for blacks to come up with crazy characters but it’s racist to refer to those same characters. I suppose after Obama loses the 2012 election the whole country will be racist. Please get over your bad case of cranial rectinitus.

Posted on June 24, 2011 at 4:31pmExtreme ways are back again
Extreme places I didn’t know
I broke everything new again
Everything that I’d owned
I threw it out the windows, came along
Extreme ways I know move apart
The colors of my sea
Perfect color me
Extreme ways that help me
That help me out late at night
Extreme places I had gone
But never seen any light
Dirty basements, dirty noise
Dirty places coming through
Extreme worlds alone
Did you ever like it then
I would stand in line for this
There’s always room in life for this
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Like it always does, always does
Extreme songs that told me
They helped me down every night
I didn’t have much to say
I didn’t get above the light
I closed my eyes and closed myself
And closed my world and never opened
Up to anything
That could get me along
I had to close down everything
I had to close down my mind
Too many things to cover me
Too much can make me blind
I’ve seen so much in so many places
So many heartaches, so many faces
So many dirty things
You couldn’t even believe
I would stand in line for this

Posted on June 24, 2011 at 5:56pmA headline reads that Michelle Obama is in Africa reflecting on her race. I believe that’s great. I’m sure Negros feel like they have a lot to be proud of. Same goes for Indians, Asians, Hispanics, Native Americans, Arabs, Jews… etc
As the true minority on this planet it’s time for Whites to begin reflecting on their race and ensuring our survival. We live in a day that I never dreamed I’d see where white kids are running around dressing, speaking, and acting like wild Negros. Now if we had a Media which would show the true nature of the ***** this would not be happening but we live in a country in which a wicked people control the Media and they desire a multiracial melting pot because they realize it’s easier to create slaves when the people are not unified and they fear a unified white race.
It’s time for an awakening America. Race does matter, it always has, and there will never ever be a time on this earth in which it does not matter.
