Just curious, and I know this is a bit off the subject, but I saw Michelle's name and it made think of this question: Since Michelle Obama watched the Yankees play in the first game of the World Series, does this mean that David Letterman’s gonna make a joke about her getting knocked up by Alex Rodriguez?

Maybe one of the liberals on this site can blow me away with an intelligent answer by using the size of their big brainzzzzz.
