    Good for you, Michelle.

    And, I used to watch Jackie Gleason’s “American Scene Magazine” when I was in high school.
    Ouch! Did I just date myself?

    Sadly, I am afraid Rep. Tancredo’s reading of it fell on a great many deaf ears in the halls of Congress, probably on both sides of the aisle. :-(

    Angry Journalist #2559 seems to think that his or her newspaper serves for other purposes than informing readers: “Whatever I write ulimately (sic) either ends up as cage lining or as blankets for bums.

    It’s sad that so few Republicans still hold on to the conservative mantle and are now Soiled and stained by long tenures of being led by lobbyist and are driven by their own desire for personal power and wealth their positions have created for them.

Tancredo. I would love to have seen the reaction of Michelle Obama if and when she reads MM’s article but I really don’t think she would understand it. Thank you Michelle and Rep.

    Keep up the good work Michelle! How can I get Tom Tancredo to run for the seat of senator in California against Feinstein or Boxer next time around?

    Tancredo ended with his own words: “Madam Speaker, I am proud of America for many reasons, not the least of which is because it helped shape the character of Michelle Malkin.”
