Hula Hoop Summit

When Jonah said he was going to go outside to hula hoop with Michelle, we naturally assumed he meant our Hoover neighbor. No. Turns out Jonah had a hula hoop summit with FLOTUS. He asked her a lot of questions - about strategies for building a wider public consensus around the public option, about the perverse incentives introduced into Wall Street decision making when bonuses are poorly linked to performance metrics, and why Sasha likes Babo's Bird better than Ice Bat. Jeez! Everybody knows Ice Bat is the coolest.

Wait, did Jonah really get to hula hoop with Michelle?

Pictures don't lie. Well, they can. Hula hooping is harder than it looks. If my experience is a guide, it can't be done. I doubt very much if Jonah or FLOTUS are actually hula hooping. It must be some kind of camera trick. I bet this picture was photo-shopped. Or maybe the whole thing was staged in a film studio in Death Valley. Like the landing on the moon.
