Two Good Questions


First Lady Michelle Obama showed up Thursday as a "surprise volunteer" at Miriam's Kitchen, a soup kitchen for homeless poor people in DC. She brought with her some food donated by White House staff. The first lady served up mushroom risotto and broccoli to a long line of homeless men and women during part of her lunch hour, and in these photos poses for a picture for one homeless diner -- understandably excited to be in the First Lady's presence. It doesn't detract from the First Lady's "generous photo-op gesture" to ask two bothersome journalistic questions about this news photo:
1) If this unidentified meal recipient is too poor to buy his own food, how does he afford a cell phone (it's a Blackberry) ?
2) And if he is homeless, where do they send the cell phone bills? ...
We are all being played as idiots..... as usual.
WHY DOESN'T OUR NEWS MEDIA ASK THESE QUESTIONS?
