Roughly translated from the Arabic, it is “#Michelle_Obama_unveiled”
That’s right, bitches. Shelley Oh, unlike most foreign women, went to Saudi Arabia and did not wear a veil. And many of the male leaders of the country refused to shake her hand.
I can’t wait for the cognitive dissonance and head explosions of Faux Nooz announcers: “She’s so disrespectful….ergh…but it was to the Mooslems…but it was the Mooslems with the oil….BOOM!”

Bow down, bitches.

Yay! I sense Jon Stewart will have some new material from the inevitable Faux News meltdown, whichever direction it goes in…
The look on her face–which I translate as “fuck all y’all”–is priceless.
Do you think the Arabic text is responsible for the sudden influx of trolls?
@Mistress Cynica: Our Southern Military Friend headed straight for a five-year-old post, so he must have stumbled across it elsewhere.
On the other hand Swedish Sex Chef is the occasional spambot that gets through, out of dozens that attempt daily.
Guys to her right are all like staring at hubby’s tie going WTF?!
Plus, fly out some gays to consult with beard dyeing techniques. This is pitiful, people. You have 84 Mercedes and 10 Rollers.
Lefty, plus she’s wearing pants. Awesome.
New king is cutting off heads at a greater rate than King Viagra. They treat their women like shit. So fuck them. If they didn’t have oil, we’d ignore them.
@nojo: Should I apologize or say “you’re welcome” for the Arabic for Michelle Obama generating the trolls?
@Benedick: Nobody can tie a tie like the Unicorn. But you already knew that. And she’s totally going total Golden Girls with that ensemble. It looks like something she borrowed from her mom (who is crazy stylish in her early 80s). Which is why I find it hilarious that this is scandalous, given Laura Bush went scarf-less (without comment) in Saudi and since it’s not like Shelley Oh is wearing a boob-belt and sleeveless dress.
/whisper: check your email, darling.
My current job is pissing me off, but I’m still in the running for two opportunities which I thought last week were over and done.
@ManchuCandidate: Channel that anger, amigo. Sign up their email on every spam site you can Google if you don’t get the gig.
@¡Andrew!:
I’m not that spiteful. One job is an internal posting that I had to almost literally fight HR hand to hand to get an interview. I wasn’t even on the short list of candidates despite my manufacturing experience, supervisory experience AND engineering experience (the job was looking for all three BTW.)
I found out through various connections (including info that the hiring manager wasn’t happy with the candidates he had) and talked to the hiring manager about this. He confronted HR and their excuse as to why I wasn’t even on the list to the manager was so bad that I had to laugh. Instead the short list had consisted of office and lab types with little or no manufacturing experience which is not really what he is looking for at all.
Best part of all, is that they are looking at presentation skills. I don’t fear that.
@SanFranLefty:
Thanks.
@Mistress Cynica: Wait, there were trolls?
Dangit, I need to come round more often. Where’s JNOV been?
xxoo
