The rags are constantly on Obama's case.

They publish article after article about his being a real ladies man. And he and Michelle are on the brink of divorce because he is such a lothario.

Of course they do not have one iota of proof. Just a bunch of pictures of Obama getting close to various women at political functions.

But millions of not very smart people look at the covers of those magazines because they are always right next to the check out stand in just about every store in America.

They are also really out after George Cloony's wife.

And Bill Clinton.

Four years ago the checkout rags said they were getting a divorce because he was gay and the (nonexistent) "Larry Sinclair scandal" and dead gay men who died to cover up Obama being gay.

I wish they would publish some of the pictures of him with children.

The letters to the editor here in KC have changed. The anti-Obama crowd really doesn't have anything to complain about any more so now they just write these really offensive general he is the worst president in history things.

It's depressing.

I've read them for years. After while you get a real sense of what is going on in Hollywood.

And I love to look at the dresses.

I plan on doing this instead of just standing in line and grimacing at it like I normally do.
