I've been hearing about this all day and just had to post a rant. I looked for a thread on this, since I knew there'd be one, LOL.

And I've also been ranting at the TV all evening, since every news show is covering this. Rachel Maddow, in for Keith Olbermann, I think did the best job, but she's always good, informed and speaks with clarity and she "gets it."

They keep saying that this is satire, but it just doesn't work. Most people are just not paying attention, and won't see it that way, and it just promotes the untrue stereotypes that the right are dishing out. I know, since I've received the e-mails from people who should know better. So the average uninformed person is certainly going to buy it.

Michelle Obama as a '60s, gun-wielding, Angela Davis type (and I liked her, LOL.) just makes no sense. She's smart, a lawyer and a mom, and is supporting what her husband's trying to accomplish. This is way over the top and, though I don't believe in book burning, these mags belong in the fire. So There! LOL.

Thank you.
