Swatted!

As the first lady files in last night to the upper balcony, and I see a ridiculously tall black man take his place next to her, I comment, "Who the fuck is that, Dikembe Mutumbo?"

Imagine my chagrin.

Seriously, Mutumbo? Dude needs to lay off the purple kool-aid.

I also recommend visiting the interactive NYT page that melds all the Prez's speeches together, and allows you to search across speeches using specific vocabulary:

Try: climate change, mass destruction, surplus, extremists, and sunni, to start.

P.S. That's Dike rejecting none other than Kendell Gill in the photo. Shweeet!
