DEAR MR. OBAMA

Yet another patriot who has a real problem with Barack Obama...We support you and your husband...Even though our would-be President does not

IRAN'S FIRST LADY

I read somewhere her name was Thelma. I'm not sure if I'd hit that or not. I don't want to commit to anything that might come back to bite me in the ass.

If I had a nickel for every time "strong black woman" or "oh no you didn't" was uttered at that luncheon...

COUNTRY BOYS AND GIRLS GETTIN' DOWN ON THE "WIFE-FATTENING" FARM

Muslim badonkadonk...

Obesity is so revered among Mauritania's white Moor Arab population that the young girls are sometimes force-fed to obtain a weight the government has described as "life-threatening".

A generation ago, over a third of women in the country were force-fed as children - Mauritania is one of the few African countries where, on average, girls receive more food than boys.

But in rural Mauritania you still see the rotund women that the country is famous for. They walk slowly, dainty hands on the end of dimpled arms, pinching multicoloured swathes of fabric together to keep the biting sand from their faces.

"I make them eat lots of dates, lots and lots of couscous and other fattening food," Fatematou, a voluminous woman in her sixties who runs a kind of "fat farm" in the northern desert town of Atar, told BBC World Service's The World Today programme.

"I make them eat and eat and eat. And then drink lots and lots of water," she explained.

"I make them do this all morning. Then they have a rest. In the afternoon we start again. We do this three times a day - the morning, the afternoon and the evening."

She said the girls could end up weighing between 60 to 100 kilograms, "with lots of layers of fat."

"If a girl refuses we start nicely, saying 'come on, come on' sweetly, until she agrees to eat."

"Of course they cry - they scream," she said.

"We grab them and we force them to eat. If they cry a lot we leave them sometimes for a day or two and then we come back to start again.

Fat farms? They must be growing a lot of ugly down there too.

BESIDES BEING A HATER, IS OBAMA'S PASTOR IS A WIFE STEALER TOO?

This guy Wright...This is not my kinda guy.

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama's loose cannon of a spiritual adviser, stole the wife of a parishioner - after the man sought Wright's help in saving his troubled marriage, the former husband told friends.

Delmer Reed, 59, confided to pals that he believed the minister moved in on his wife while Wright was counseling the couple at his Chicago church in the early 1980s, The Post has learned.

"That's exactly how he said it," Reed's divorce lawyer, Roosevelt Thomas, told The Post. "It looks like Delmer might have been right," he said, because after Delmer and Ramah Reed were divorced, she got remarried - to Wright. "Either that or this was the biggest coincidence in the world."

Asked about the relationship between Wright and his ex-wife, Reed told The Post, "Oh, the things I could tell you."

Asked if Wright broke up his marriage, Reed laughed, then said, "I told my kids I wouldn't say anything to hurt their stepfather, so I'm not saying anything."

Asked if he's forgiven the pastor, Reed nodded.

"I let it go," he said. "I don't want my kids to hear anything negative about their stepfather."

He added: "I'm not a vindictive person; I'm a forgiving man."

But years ago, Reed did express anger about the situation, said Harold Davis, who said he learned about the matter through mutual friends.

"Jeremiah knew all the weaknesses of the couple, and he started focusing on the wife, her vulnerabilities, and started doing things she wanted Delmer to do - spending time with her, taking her to the movies, that sort of thing," said Davis, who heads the Chicago branch of football great Jim Brown's Amer-I-can youth program.

"Everybody knew Jeremiah took the man's wife," said Davis. "It was common knowledge."

FORMER BIDEN CAMPAIGN WORKER ASKS McCAIN IF HE EVER CALLED HIS WIFE A CUNT?

Well, I guess if you didn't attend a racist church for 20 years, this is the kind of questions you get asked. And McCain doesn't answer. Can we take that as a "yes"?
