  • OK, I Can Recycle It Now


    By the time The New Yorker landed in my mail slot today, I'd seen the cover so many times already it was like, "You, finally!'' As if it had stopped off for a couple of drinks on the way over here and lost all track of time. So, allow me to be the last to tell Jack why I totally hate this image of the Obamas: It would be funnier if half the country didn't actually think of this hardworking, high-achieving womanremind me again what Michelle Obama has not done right?as Angela Davis in a sheath. I don't know whether to cry or spit for every morning she got up before it was light outside to make sure she got every single thing on the do-list done, only to be looked at like this. But I am not tempted to laugh.
