During her time at the top-tier law firm, Sidley Austin, Michelle Obama was a whiner, complaining she didn't want to do work that was standard fare for associate lawyers, which she was at the time. She marched her butt down to human resources to complain and the response was: do your job lady. This was reported by that racist rag The New Yorker. And now this from another racist rag, the New York Times:

"If I have to go {to public functions as the First Lady} I'm getting a new dress out of it," sniped Michelle Obama to friends.

So folks, we've been silent on Kagan. We are happy to see a third women on her way to The Court, BUT with Ginsberg's diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and a shaky outlook for Scary Barry in 2012, our money is on Ginsberg stepping down and then.... only IF Obama appoints another women to take her place will I give him an iota of credit. We most likely will see a return to the 20% rule that is the female condition.

In reading about Kagan, it seems she exactly fits the Obama mold: extremely pro affirmative action and extremely ambivalent or perhaps a bit hostile to abortion rights.

WASHINGTON (June 29) -- The Supreme Court ruled Monday that white firefighters in New Haven, Conn., were unfairly denied promotions because of their race, reversing a decision that high court nominee Sonia Sotomayor endorsed as an appeals court judge.
