Mixed signals about good health practices are coming out of the White House. While First Lady Michelle Obama dictates food choices for America's schoolchildren, her husband reveals he's still addicted to smoking. President Obama appeared to be holding a pack of cigarettes in a photo of him with the Italian prime minister at the G7 summit.

There was a time when Robert Gibbs would have been flacking Michelle's tasteless school lunch menus, but not since he entered the private sector. McDonald's Corp. has hired the former White House spokesman to be its new top public relations official. Promoting fast food is bound to be easier - and pay better - than selling unpopular Obama policies.

In a series of attack articles which began with shaming Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio for getting four traffic tickets in 17 years, the New York Times subsequently blasted him for buying a $80,000 speedboat, then scolded him for not being rich enough to run for president. Well, everybody can't have Hillary Clinton's millions.
