Is It FUN to be FAMOUS: Michelle Obama's Shorts

I was waiting for Carol at McD’s today and saw a bunch of news nonsense about Michelle Obama wearing shorts. Is it a slow day for the media?

I was standing next to a 70-ish lady, who politely sipped her coffee. She looked up at me and said, “Silly, isn’t it?” If grandma-on-the-street doesn’t care that the first lady wears shorts, then TMZ should get a life. Michelle was outside walking the dog in the summer. What else would she wear?

I think it was all an excuse to get out the decades old Nair commercial and play, “Who wears short shorts?”
