OMG, Michelle Obama has arms!
Just look at them, they go all the way up to her shoulders. Apparently, Michelle Obama appearing in a sleeveless dress for her official portrait has got conservative American up in arms (ha! see what I did there).

I didn’t receive any perturbed emails or Facebook comments, so I’m hoping that nobody had any troubles seeing the site yesterday. If you did have troubles, now’s the time to tell me, as my current plan is to turn it back on before I go to bed tonight.
