Ah. So this is what the hipsters' beer cash is funding.

Patrick,

Yes, but well-adjusted people make for boring tv. I want hissy fits and people who throw cell phones at other people!

lab director,

Would you prefer the first lady wear a potato sack as an anti-fashion statement instead?

Like it or not, Americans have always, always been romantic about their presidents, at least when their respective "guy" is in office. It didn't start with Obama and it won't end with him. People had the same "starry eyes" for Kennedy, Roosevelt, and Reagan, amongst many others. We don't have royalty in this country upon whom we can project all our hopes, dreams, and aspirations- the president and his family are as close as we come. This is a sentiment shared by conservative columnist Peggy Noonan, by the way.

Besides, the majority of commentors were responding to the unnecessary attacks on Michelle's looks as a means of expressing dissatisfaction with her and her husband's politics. I may not be Sarah Palin's biggest fan, but I don't go around calling her an "ugly cow" because I find her views on foreign policy lacking. That type of thing comes across as petty and childish- does one really win the political fight with a point like this?

Unfortunately, this thread has become a perfect reflection of the sad state of modern political discourse.

Actually, no, I wasn't sure what you were getting at. You wanted to point out the fact she utilizes a stylist? So do most heavily-scrutinized women in the public eye (see also: Palin, Sarah).

So you don't like the Obamas personally or politically- that's fair enough. But please don't take offense when we question the vitriol, as getting in that catty dig at Michelle's appearance seems to be the entire point of your post.

Anyway. I'm totally digging that grasscloth wallpaper with olive-colored drapes. I'm curious about all those shiny things behind Barry's right shoulder. Anyone know what they are?

I am in love with this home- absolutely dreamy.

This is the first place I've seen a bean bag chair look kinda... sexy!

Damn son. This is the hipsteriest hipster pad that hath ever been hipstered. That not necessarily a criticism, just, well, hat's off! I'd love to stop by and knock back a cold PBR while listening to Animal Collective on vinyl with you. It's just that kind of place, y'know.

(For the record, thumbs up.)

This may be a dumb question, but I honestly don't know the answer: do you need special electrical connection to install a ceiling fan, or can you replace light fixtures with fans directly? Anyone know the process?

Patrick, you must know you're fighting a losing battle here. I've completely given up the hope of AT civility. But, lemons to lemonade, I've started a game called "Guess What Inane Thing the Commenters Will Complain About This Time" whenever I open up a new post. The results can sometimes surprise and even delight you!

"I'm a fan of her music, but I agree...I think this post was just a poorly done gimmick."

Did y'all actually read the post? It was about inspiration culled from the Gaga outfits, not matching the room pattern-for-pattern. If you read it you'd know which elements of the outfit related to which aspects of the room design.

But yeah, it was a gimmick, but executed beautifully. Keep this up, please please please.
