Her numbers are falling because she doesn't grow beets in the White House garden. It's a serious lax in security. What will the Secret Service throw at invading koopa troopas? #michelleobama

It's the eyebrows.

(And probably the law degree.)

Although I don't remember Laura Bush even having poll numbers after the actual election. But maybe I just blocked it out. #michelleobama

@Rooo sez BISH PLZ: Dude...I was just thinking that she needs a less harsh eyebrow arch. Every time I see it, it make me cringe. I would be happy to take her to my eyebrow guy anytime for a good shaping. #michelleobama

@FaceMonkey: Dude. Um. I was being facetious.

I actually think her eyebrows are fine.

(I think if you click on the link you'll get a little more insight as to why the issue has been, shall we say, misshapen out of proportion, and not exactly by Anastasia.) #michelleobama

@Rooo sez BISH PLZ: I just read the eyebrow article and I had no idea there was actually a story about them. I may not like them but, really? Someone actually mentioned them in a news story? That is ridiculous! Beautiful lady but her eyebrows take away from her natural beauty. Just my opinion. Not that it affects her role as first lady. I am just the eyebrow police. (BTW, sorry I mistook the tone of your comment...its so easy to misunderstand a typed comment) #michelleobama

Oh, for Christ's sake. Who the fuck gets a poll on Michelle Obama and says they disapproves of the job she's doing? What kind of sick conservative nut do you have to be to do this? I got polled more than once about Laura Bush, and I always said I thought she was lovely and smart. I can't imagine saying I disapprove of any first lady (okay, except maybe Nancy Reagan for being a face of the War on Drugs) because they're the fucking FIRST LADY. #michelleobama

I wish that the American public realized that Michelle cannot be blamed for Sasha's unpopular "Dressing Bo In People Clothes" policy. #michelleobama

I would have thought Laura Bush had the sympathy vote simply for being married to George, hence her high approval ratings. #michelleobama

@Rare Affinity: plus she SAVED him - wasn't she instrumental in George's redemption from his coke addiction/alcoholism?

Not saying that Michelle O wasn't similarly instrumental in Obama's life, but there's less of a savior-meme associated with her. #michelleobama

@Rare Affinity: I think that is completely true, along with funny. I always imagine a lot of women thinking: my husband is useless too, he never takes out the trash, and feeling like they have that "in common". #michelleobama

Oh, world, for the last time, favorability ratings in the 60s for any public figure other than Elmo are really, really high, and anything above that is downright unsustainable. #michelleobama

Not blocked at the HS where I work... yet. I only visit at work sparingly and then its read only since my laptop is hooked into the network and technically a "teacher computer" during working hours. The last thing I need is to be accused of visiting 'inappropriate' sites on a 'school' computer, especially if the word "sex" was involved in any way.

You read about at least one band director a week who's fired for shit like that. I don't need to be the next. But I do admit to trying to get my sorry ass out of work and home asap so I can check out Jez and comment while some of my favorite daytime folk are still around!

You are not currently blocked by the filters in the Commonwealth of Virginia, specifically in the children's psych hospital at 3am when I am bored, but they'll block just about anything. I visit Jez sparingly at work and choose items that I think won't be too likely to get caught in the next filter sweep.

I actually think it's good thing, since it'd make it easier to find porno and gore when I want them! Bring on the X ratings!

Also it might keep the porno away when I'm just looking for girl-on-girl basketball stats.

my favourite banning story is that some UK browsers banned messages and updates from Scunthorpe town council and Scunthorpe FC. Yep, really. Poor Scunthorpe.

@rmric0: I know, they should have just changed their name. It's rather like Newcastle Poly which wanted to change its name to City University of Newcastle upon Tyne until some sensible person pointed out this wasn't the best anacronym.
