According to Tammy Bruce, former guest host on the Laura Ingraham show, Michelle Obama is "trash" living in the White House.
After a conversation shared between Obama and school children about her childhood, and her ambition to do well in school, Bruce decided to publicly criticize the First Lady in unnecessary fashion.
She mocks Obama's speech to the children about kids teasing her about her "white-girl voice" and being able to strive for an A in the classroom. Bruce acted in shock, and dismay as she provided commentary over Obama's speech.
Bruce, who has been in the trouble in the past for her comments, will most likely face consequences for her words. She had made rude and unnecesary comments about Camille Cosby in 1998, insisting she needed some sort of therapy after Cosby had released a racist remark said by her late son's killer.
The station she had been working with had fired her immediately after releasing an apology to the Cosby family.
I think it's sad to see people so immature and nasty in the media. People like Michelle Obama are trying to make things better for children, as well as adults, by sharing information about her own past. I think it was wrong of Bruce to call her trash and insist she uses her advantages in her marriage to gain power.
I hope she gets a harsher treatment, for she is out of control with her words, clearly. Freedom of speech is one thing, but to continuously bash people, that has got to stop. What kind of message does it send to future radio hosts or news correspondents?

Done and buried?
Anna Nicole Smith had a very publicized death investigation back in 2007. She had been known around the world as a very emotionally distressed woman after the death of her son, Daniel, dying days after her baby girl Dannilyn had been born.
According to toxicology reports released to the media, Anna had been taking many pills, prescribed, as well as over-the-counter drugs. Her case was declared as an overdose.
Now, two years later, new information has been released about how Smith had been given drugs and prescriptions. Smith's psychiatrist, Khristine Eroshevich, had turned herself in, admitting she had prescribed drugs for Smith's depression. She had signed the prescriptions with a false name for Smith, for privacy, not meaning to commit fraud. She had posted bail of $20,000.
Smith's ex-boyfriend, Howard Stern, and former doctor, Sandeep Kapoor, were also charged with felonies for providing Smith with excessive addictive drugs. They face 11 different felony charges.
I commend the investigators for getting this information out to the media. Many people blamed Smith for her own death, although she was under great stress. Her whole life had been in front of the camera, and she was definitely depressed after the death of her son. The doctors, and her lawyer/boyfriend deserve the charges they get, because they only made it worse by providing those drugs.
Hopefully this will give a little redemption for Smith and her life, and maybe she can finally rest in peace. Now people can maybe understand a little better the media's influence on a celebrity's private life.

Obama for a Cause...and its not Barack!
Feeding the homeless, and providing healthy tips is the First Lady, Michelle Obama.
According to the NY Times, Michelle Obama is on a mission to provide the homeless with meals that will be beneficial to their health. She volunteered at Miriam’s Kitchen in Washington, serving steamed broccoli, mushroom risotto, and freshly baked apple-carrot muffins.
“You know, we want to make sure our guests here and across the nation are eating nutritious items,” said Michelle Obama.
In addition to serving the homeless, she also brought in eight cases of fresh fruits to add to their diets.
As it turns out, this event is only a portion of Michelle Obama's plan to get families around the nation to use more fruits and vegetables in their daily food intakes.
I think this is a great piece, as it shows a softer side of the White House. It shows that Michelle cares about the well-being of her family, families around the nation, and the homeless community. She is embarking on a great cause to add more nutrition to those who may not be able to afford meals that do provide better nutrition. I commend Mrs. Obama for not letting the cameras and press mess with her mission, as newspaper headlines and magazine covers can be quite stressful in getting people on your side.
"Collect some fruits and vegetables; bring by some good healthy food,” she said. “We can provide this kind of healthy food for communities across the country, and we can do it by each of us lending a hand.”

Emergency: No Nuggets!!
A woman in Fort Pierce, Florida felt the need to dial 911 after a McDonald's restaurant could not issue her request for chicken nuggets.
According to the police reports, Latreasa Goodman dialed 911 three times after an employee could not provide her with the chicken nuggets she had ordered. They had ran out of nuggets and instead of issuing a refund, the clerk told Goodman she had a store policy that did not allow the refunding of her money. She then offered Goodman other items from the menu of equal value.
"The manager just took my money and won't give me my money back, trying to make me get something off the menu that I don't want," said Goodman.
The news was so surprising and interesting, MSNBC published the story. The woman believed she had been scammed, and was in disbelief when she did not even get a refund.
"This is an emergency. If I would have known they didn't have McNuggets, I wouldn't have given my money, and now she wants to give me a McDouble, but I don't want one. This is an emergency."
I think it is quite funny to see this type of news on a news site. Yes it is news, but at the same time, so much more is going on in the world and people choose to document on the "silly" stuff such as this. Stories such as economic rises, franchises closing, stock markets crashing, those seem to fall second to the fluff pieces. Maybe the funny, interesting stories take a break from the issues.
I believe McDonald's was in the wrong for not providing a refund, and I understand the anger after finding out that not only did they not have their advertised items, but also being unable to provide a refund. Although the woman will recieve a refund and a free meal, she didn't have to call 911. Emergencies are for more important things than a 10-count of chicken nuggets.
