Want memos detailing US interrogation techniques? Here you go.

Want to know the size of the US nuclear arsenal? No problem.

Want to know what flavor ice cream the Obamas ordered? Sorry, that’s a secret!

    Since that question deals with Obama’s family it’s well within their right to not answer. It’s no one’s business. If things like that trip your trigger go watch The Bachelor.

    I have no desire to be some snarky conservative version of MoveOn.org. We have bigger issues that impact November to focus on.

    Here’s a secret Obama’s media kept quiet.

    Michelle Obama on her second day in Spain, along with her daughter, made a dusk trip to the “Great Mosque of Granada” in Spain. The mosque was completed in 2003 and is a:

    Quote:“The mosque is a symbol of a return to Islam among the Spanish people and among indigenous Europeans that will break with the malicious concept of Islam as a foreign and immigrant religion in Europe,” says Abdel Haqq Salaberria, a spokesman for the mosque and convert to Islam.”

    Who restricted her from revealing the flavor? It’s fine if it was shop management, but there’s no way such a restriction could have originated from anyone outside.

    If the restriction didn’t originate with shop management, then she probably should have stated, “I’d rather not say the flavor” or “I’m too intimated by the member of Obama’s team that told me I couldn’t say the flavor.”

    They will face the wrath of Meme Roth (anti-obesity activist) for allowing themselves and, worse yet, their children to eat ice cream, EVER. I’ve seen her on Fox News; she doesn’t like the Girl Scouts selling cookies, doesn’t think McDonald’s should be allowed to sell Happy Meals with toys or use Ronald McDonald in their commercials, thinks schools should be able to inspect lunches sent in by parents, etc.

    I say, alert her to this situation and let her deal with them . . . unless she also happens to be a liberal Democrat, in which case she will probably make an exception for them.

    Believe me, when I wrote that, I was going for the chunky joke and too late realized that the second part may be misconstrued. Not my intent. It wouldn’t be the first time my attempt at humor resulted in mixed reviews. I am sorry if my post contributed to any uncomfortable remembrances on your part.

    I believe you just didn’t think about every possible interpretation of what you were writing before you wrote. It happens to everyone. You were, as you said, only thinking about the “chunky” part. The fact that the “monkey” angle was not foremost in your mind indicates that you do not have racist tendencies.

    I may be mistaken, but I don’t think sbw999 believes you do, either. Just a little reminder to “think before you write”.

    Don’t beat yourself up. And SBW, think we can let it go at this point?

    That was my same thought.

    I’m thinking that a member of the Obama entourage told the staff not to reveal the flavors, and this idiot thought she was compelled to obey.
