Here’s a dispatch from our senior White House correspondent, Milton Polchek:
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11 –
Michelle Obama, the first black woman to serve as First Lady, took to the airwaves recently to express her irritation at being characterized as an “angry black woman”.
Mrs. Obama could not be reached for comment, but a close friend and confidante spoke to this reporter, on condition of anonymity.
“As a black woman in America, Lord knows Michelle has plenty to be angry about, and of course with decades of academic and professional experience in this area, she is widely regarded as an expert in the field. But this “angry black woman” thing just really, really pisses her off. She’s trying to keep cool about it, but frankly I can’t remember the last time I saw her get so mad.”
Her friend paused.
“…well, not lately, anyway. But I’ve been out of town for a few weeks.”

Mrs. Obama needs to go more “meta.” She needs to get angry about being angry about being pigeonholed as an ABW.
Kevin –
That comment makes me angry about being angry about being more meta.
I heard she’s angry about Kevin’s ‘meta’ advice on this blog because she already never met a man she didn’t like to dislike . . .
