1 Rhubarb is racist.

I heard Archer-Daniel-Midlands buses in thousands of Indians and Pakistanis to do the growing dance on its factory farms.

3 Did they replace the dirt in the garden yet?  I thought that any food grown there was unsafe to eat because a previous admin. dumped sewage on there as fertilizer.

4 "harvest ritual"

Why am I reminded of the story The Lottery?

5 Ah, I've only now read through the whole article and have me the knowledge.

6 LOL, thanks for the chuckle

7 This is exactly why people are worried about capsizing islands

8 Why am I reminded of the story The Lottery?

I hated that story.

I hope this years garden isnt total BS.

Last years garden grew in unbelievable record time.... ah hem.

Having lived in farm country.. I can assure you.. no garden grows as quick as Michelle Obama's did last year.

10 The Christian Science Monitor has been another Demoncrap PR rag for a long time. In fact, just about ALL of the magazines have become PR rags for the Dems.

But I am sure that a woman from the upper class society of Chicago is a real expert in farming.  Yes, she will rank right up there with Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor in Hooterville.

11 At the least widest point of the (um) garden, The Wookie can barely get her hips through.

12 You know, if a conservative created a joke about Michelle dancing around her garden he'd be labeled a racist. This admin has murdered parody and is dancing on its grave.

13
As much as I dislike Barack, Michelle creeps me out even more.  Barack seems to me like a leftist egomaniac.  Michelle seems like that as well, but I think she is also a bit touched.  I'm not sure she has all her bolts tightened. 

Drudge dug up another great angry photo of Michelle here.  These photos are great. 

Even funnier was when Maxim ranked Michelle #93 on the Hottest 100 Ladies in 2009.  That was a hoot. 

14 You doubt the power of Vernalization?!

15
You're on a mission and you're wishin'
 for someone could cure you're gardens condition
You're lookin' for arugula in all the wrong places
No fine cucumbers just ugly faces
From frustration first inclination
Is to become a wookie and leave the situation
But every dark garden has a light of change & hope
So don't hang yourself with an artichoke
New crop is showin'... so you're goin
Couldnt care less about the five you're blowin
garden gets dark just to start the show
When you spot a fine squash sittin' in the front row
She's dressed in yellow, she says "Hello,
Come sit next to me you fine fellow"
You run over there without a second to lose
And what comes next, hey bust a move

16

If only I could get Michelle Obama to stand in my garden, maybe it would help to keep out all of the varmints from eating it down to the roots.  -- the dancing would just be a bonus!

17 I dunno about Druidism. Rather, that sounds like something out of the classic movie "My Neighbor, Totoro".

18 I love Druid buffs...

19 That dancing in the garden crap is like something my lifecoach SIL would do.  Seriously.

20 Shouldn't Tiny Dancer be helping out with these interpretive dances? Best interpretive dance ever, for my money, is Iggy Pop doing "I Wanna Be Your Dog" -- 2 separate versions are on the Stooges 2004 reunion gig in Detroit, check it out, tiny dancer morons.

21 I think she got that dance thing from My Neighbor Totoro

22 Tallish scowling pagans and chanting freakish beanstalks on steroids from hell set to rap music on ice from the United Center. Can I get a witness?

23

Cool. maybe she can teach her husband to do a "growing the economy" dance.

24 My garden dancing is completely spontaneous .
It usually starts when I step into a fire ant mound while wearing flip - flops .

25 Now this is where it just gets dangerous. If we make the vegetables grow to least-smallest sizes with our ritual nature-magic, how can we be sure that we won't cause North America to flip over, and ya know, capsize?!

Laugh now, wingnuts! I dare you!

26 as prior, any druid that can't shapechange into a bear is boring.

27

#15 was just lovely. Lovely. Wonder if she can rope YoungMC into singing it on the next garden day? He's not exactly tearing up the chart these days......

28

 "This admin has murdered parody and is dancing on its grave."

+1.  Unfortunately, you hit the nail on the head.

29 What did we ever do to you humans to be subjected to harassment by a dancing communist Wookie? Have you no mercy?!

We'll grow on our own schedule, thank you.

30 Hey what's that in the Garden? It's a hoe. No, what's that the thing she's carrying? (Sorry, stole it from Beavis and Butthead, my spiritual leaders)

31 I dunno about Druidism. Rather, that sounds like something out of the classic movie "My Neighbor, Totoro".

The cat bus was cool. Freakish, but cool. This dance right here? Just freakish.

32 Won't the try and Saudi's behead her for this on the next state visit?

33 Sorry blackberry grammar

34

Breaking-  Michelle to compete on dancing with the stars!!!

35 And, fittingly, rhubarb is a mild laxative.

36 1) I am a heathen pagan and I am OFFENDED!! (or not... whatever.) 2) I love to hate on Michelle - lord knows she's hateable - but people do silly things when trying to teach and relate to young kids. Of all the things I dislike about her, I can't get too worked up about this. If some young mother were planting a garden with her babies, would you ridicule her for doing a silly little "growing the garden" dance with her kiddos?

37 toby928 - if get a wickerman Rahm, you have to take a skycld Pelosi -- need to maintain balance!

38

More hard-hitting journalism from the suck-up media. Seriously, who really cares about this new age crap other than the liberal bed-wetters in Berkley and San Francisco ?

39

Well I'll be damned, I guess wookies can dance.. huh.. go figure...

40 The idea that Druids danced around their gardens and raised their hands to the sky to invoke some Giai type God to bless their crops is total BS which makes this crap w/Michelle just about the same.

Actually what we know about the Druids comes from Ceaser's Commentaries which we know about half of it is nothing more than political advantageous lies (more similarities with Obama).

The crap that you see on TV and in the "newage" shit at Stonehenge is just pure bullshit.

41 Hey, the wave-your-arms thing worked in My Neighbor Totoro.  Granted, it was largely a dream and the movie was made for little kids, but still...

42 "If some young mother were planting a garden with her babies, would you ridicule her for doing a silly little "growing the garden" dance with her kiddos?" If she were the First Lady? Yes.

43 The Obamas hold a press conference.

44 NO, NO, NO...dammit, your doing it all wrong! After the dance, you do the human sacrifice. How about that Gibbs guy? He seems expend...we mean, suitable.

45 Christian Science Monitor? More like the Communist Science Monitor

Michelle Obama in.....

You might be true about the particulars of Druidism, but nature-worship has been around for a long time.  Dennis Prager wrote a very good column about that here.

From the column:

This was extremely difficult for men to assimilate [at the time of the book of Genesis]. And as society drifts from Judeo-Christian values, it is becoming difficult to assimilate again today. Major elements in secular Western society are returning to a form of nature worship. Animals are elevated to equality with people, and the natural environment is increasingly regarded as sacred. The most extreme expressions of nature worship actually view human beings as essentially blights on nature.

Secular leftists like this fancy themselves as "progressives".  But this type of nonsense is actually extremely REgressive... in fact thousands of years so.  As Prager says, it is odd that the "liberal" would venerate nature in this way:

Why would people who value compassion, kindness or justice venerate nature? The notions of justice and caring for the weak are unique to humanity. In the rest of nature, the weak are to be killed. The individual means nothing in nature; the individual is everything to humans. A hospital, for example, is a profoundly unnatural, indeed antinatural, creation; to expend precious resources on keeping the most frail alive is simply against nature.

I know that Michelle isn't exactly leading a worship service of Nature here, but this stuff is pretty weird.  It distresses me to see the First Lady doing this type of crap.  Like I said, I think she is a bit touched.

51 Cluebat: Feral. Oomkin is my other spec.

52

Michelle Obama in...

From Here to Fertility

53 The thing is when we see people do this kinda shit in my city we have them sent immediately to the Psych Hospital.  72 hour observation.

54 Not even my wife was this fucking crazy.

55

First Lady for indoctrinating little school children in Druidic cultural norms.

Druids are so, so "dead white guy".  raaacist

What MO is indoctrinating children in, here, is African animistic cultural norms.  Either way it's religious indoctrination of school children  and I expect the ACLU to get right on this problem STAT!

(crickets chirping)

56 No wonder the Obama's haven't found a church yet!  They are pagans!  Now the whole Gaia, global warming irrationality makes sense. 

57

Tarzan looks at the strange village, perched high in a tree...

What are these strange creatures, and why do they dance like the stunted men of Opar, or the Great Apes after a kill. 

Maybe its time to stop visiting my wifes relatives in America, and go back to the Jungle, where it is civilized...

58 She's doing the dance completely wrong.

59 It's missing something....something.....something very like Rahm coming through en pointe and stabbing the rhubarb with a steak knife, while snarling, "you're makin' a fuckin' fool of yourself."

Yes, that would complete the transformation into bizarro-land.

60 Garden? Peshaw. It's a place for her to shit outside so she don't clog up the WH crappers.

61 Supposedly, her 1,100 sq ft garden produced over 1,000lbs of produce in it's first year! They only recently expanded the garden to 1,500 sq ft. Perhaps in the second year, the production will rise 3,000%

62

Ah, wait a minute.

Wasn't it just yesterday that Hewitt was excerpting Obama doing his Richard Pryor shtick before a fawning audience, making sport of health-care opponents for criticizing the law before it had a chance to work?

He compared them to a farmer who plants seeds one day, then returns to the field the next morning and complains nothing has grown.

63

 Garden? Peshaw. It's a place for her to shit outside so she don't clog up the WH crappers.

Well what do you think the term "organically grown" means?  Some marketing genius at some point figured out it was a much nicer way of advertising this stuff.  People tend to avoid purchasing fruits and vegetables when the phrase "Dipped in Shit" appears prominently on the label.

64 #39 If some young mother were planting a garden with her babies, would you ridicule her for doing a silly little "growing the garden" dance with her kiddos?

Posted by: AngelEm

no, but MO is not 'some young mother', and the LSM would have a field day (no pun intended) if Laura Bush did something nutty like this

65 Druid ritual, my ass. Don't you know a Mau Mau Voo Do fertility dance when you see one?

66

Speaking of beheadings in Saudi Arabia, Lebanese TV personality Ali Hussein Sabat has been convicted of sorcery and sentenced to death.  Ali's TV show included attempts at fortune telling which is the crime of sorcery in Saudi Arabia.  Now us being sophisticated Westerners raided on the likes of Johnny Caron's Great Karnak would take Ali's show in stride as entertainment.  Alas Ali went to Mecca as all good Muslims should do at least once in their lives and he was scarfed up in 2008 by the Saudi religous police.

Guess Saudi Arabia never got the word that Salem witch hunts are so not happening.  They are real buzz-kills these porgroms ya know.

As for Michelle's little dance.  Say what you will of the Bush guys, at least they married classy ladies.  Even Hillary was not this bad as First Lady.

67 Even Hillary was not this bad as First Lady.

No, the Clintoons got Madelaine Albright to do the dancing for them.  Delegating the crassness so to speak.

Reminds me of Hitler's jig under the Arc de Triomphe. 

68 Interpretive Dance: The Heart


Parents of American college students, look upon ye progeny and despair.

69 Reminds me of Hitler's jig under the Arc de Triomphe.
I won.

70 Please, you call that interpretive dance?  Dancing around the garden and throwing your arms up in the air while chanting "grow, rhubarb, grow" sounds more like something my neighbor SpongeBob would do. 

71

The only thing I think when I see that pic is "Wookie powers....activate!"

Yes, that would complete the transformation into bizarro-land.

I honestly don't think Sid and Marty Krofft could have come up with anything better.

72 She was late with her April Fool's joke, right?

73 Memo to Michelle Obama: that's witchcraft.

74 Does this mean that the EPA will be replaced with the Cenarion Circle?

You know, oddly enough, I can see Fandral Staghelm being on Obama's cabinet.

75 dr00ds are cheatmode.

76 Christian Science Monitor?
Not Christian.
Not Scientific.
Nor a Monitor.

77 For. The. Horde.

78 Well, if by pagan or heathen you mean never baptized, count me in.  I also like to garden.  However, the manure I use doesn't come in the form of some idiot dance, and I wouldn't let FL Worf anywhere near my plants.

79

White House assistant chef Sam Kass, who oversees the garden, joined in for the last round of the dance.

And then shortly afterwards ordered vegetable supplies from growers who use science, farm machinery, chemicals and fertilisers to grow them.

 michelle obama has the intelligence of a dazed hamster.

 

 

81 Hoe in da garden, my don't it make my ass grow bigga...

82 Nothing wrong with dance. On the other hand:
I once narrowly escaped attending a church service where there was to be a piece by the (I'm not kidding) "Adult Movement Choir". It wasn't the kind of church where I might have see something more like this:

83 The only thing the WH forgot to do was douse the crops with Brawndo. After all, it's got what plants crave...electrolytes.

Having lived in farm country.. I can assure you.. no garden grows as quick as Michelle Obama's did last year.

You've just never seen industrial strength bullshit like they make at the White House. It's powerful stuff.

Actually, I have to try very hard not to give women the stink eye for silly antics like this in public. I'm not alone in NY, either. It's annoying when you are on the train, minding your own business, and some hippie gets their kids singing Itsy Bitsy Spider over and over again and jumping all over the place. Children are cuter when you let them be themselves, instead of indoctrinating them and trying to coopt their youth. These adults should be embarrassed.
