Next Faux Controversy, Give it 24 Hours, folks
The Obama family has a new swing set for the girls installed on the White House lawn. the right wingers are bound to complain about this, even though the Obama’s paid for it with their own money. They will whine about it being on hallowed ground, or that it does not comply to regulations right wingers founght in the 1st place.

4. It's a more permanent change to the hallowed halls of the WH than a temporary swingset

Parents Ponder Value of Tattooed Barbie Doll
Q13 Fox News Staff
March 5, 2009

If your child loves to play with Barbies -- you may be a bit surprised to hear about the latest incarnation of the popular doll.

"Totally Stylin' Tattoos" Barbie is hitting store shelves just in time for spring.

The newest Barbie comes with a set of tattoo stickers, which can be placed anywhere on her body.

Some parents are taking the new Barbie body art in stride. Others, like Jenn Alcayaga says it's a little too much for her kids.

"I think it's attracting kids too young, that want to expose parts of their bodies to show off tattoos, Alcayaga said.

If Dubya could ride his tricycle around the White House, the Obama girls can have a swing set.

6. Was that where W. threw the whisky bottles?
Is that why it is "hallowed ground"?
