First Lady Michelle Obama showed up as a surprise and welcome volunteer at Miriam's Kitchen, a soup kitchen for homeless poor people not far from the White House.She brought with her some food donated by White House staff. The first lady served up mushroom risotto and broccoli to a long line of homeless men and women during part of her lunch hour and in these photos poses for a picture by one homeless diner obviously excited to be in the first lady's presence.
It doesn't detract from the first lady's generous gesture or the real needs she seeks to highlight to ask two bothersome journalistic questions about these news photos:
1. If this unidentified meal recipient is too poor to buy his own food, how does he afford a cell phone?
2. And if this gentleman is homeless, where do they send the cell phone bills?

Ever hear of "pay as you go" cell phone deals?
Seriously though how homeless is this guy taking the picture?
Dude.
Part of the reason that the US is in its current situation is people buying more than they can afford.
This problem cuts across all socio-economic levels.
Plus, I guess none of you have ever seen the "professional" homeless, like the guys on the Kennedy exits that have more swank clothes than I do.
But does he Twitter?
I don't know whether any of the people I know twat or not.
