Michelle Obama's Luxury Lunch, or Why I Hate Jeff Rense

Okay, hate is a strong word and I don't hate anyone, but I dislike Jeff Rense for a whole long list of reasons. This might surprise some, since Rense is known for his UFO, paranormal, New Age, ghost hunting self. So why would a woo like me dislike, with such disdain, someone like Rense? Because he wallows, with great gusto, in screeching right wing tainted fear mongering that, along the way, embraces misogyny, anti-Semitism, and bigotry.

So when I read on his site that Michelle Obama spend over $400.00 on a lunch while being a hypocrite by pulling for us little people, I was suspicious. One, I'm voting for Obama, so hoped it wasn't true, but it just didn't fit . . . didn't seem right. It wasn't:

Michelle Obama gorged herself on an expensive room service dinner. . .
