Another Day In Omerica

A new species of monkey with a distinctive blue rear end has been identified in Africa, researchers have said.

The species, known locally as the lesula, was discovered after a young female was seen kept captive at the home of a primary school director in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2007.

The young animal resembled an owl faced monkey (Cercopithecus hamlyni) but the colour of its rear end was different to that of any known species, the researchers writing in the journal PLoS ONE said.

In fact, they say, its blue rear end is unique.

‘The blue perineum, buttocks and scrotum displayed by adult males are more extensive than genital patches in any other Cercopithecus’, the researchers wrote.

Other wild lesula (Cercopithecus lomamiensis) have since been found in their remote range in central Democratic Republic of Congo, where they live in forests and feed on leafstalks, fruit and flower buds.

The discovery of the new species, in one of the country’s last unexplored forest areas, is only the second time a new monkey species has been found in Africa in the last 28 years.

Although the 6,500 square mile area in which the shy lesula is found is remote and sparsely populated, the researchers warn the monkey is vulnerable to extinction as a result of hunting for bush meat.

They called for controls on hunting and the creation of a protected area covering its range to conserve the lesula and other wildlife found in the region.

Researcher John Hart said: ‘The challenge for conservation now in Congo is to intervene before losses become definitive.

‘Species with small ranges like the lesula can move from vulnerable to seriously endangered over the course of just a few years.’

Part one of first lady Michelle Obama’s cameo on “The Biggest Loser” aired on Tuesday. In the episode, Obama invited the contestants on the weight loss reality show to the White House.

“You all are showing millions of Americans that each of us can make positive changes in our lives and these changes won’t just make a difference for ourselves, they can make an impact on our families and children as well,” the first lady said in a video message.”So keep up the good work. … In fact I’d love to hear about it in person. So would you all come here to Washington so I can see just how far you’ve come?”

After being treated to makeovers, the contestants headed to the White House where they were greeted by loved ones and the first lady.

In part two of the episode, which airs next week, FLOTUS exercises with the cast members in the East Room. In a preview, Obama does jumping jacks, squats and asks mid-workout, “Can’t a first lady get a towel?”

The Globe magazine just released a bombshell and is reporting that Michelle Obama is having a “steamy secret affair” with a Secret Service Agent. According to The Globe, rumors started to circulate that Obama may be having an affair after her recent admission to NBC’s Al Roker that she frequently “sneaks out” of the White House; and the ever increasing time she is spending away from the White House may be a cover to hide “a sizzling affair she’s carrying on with a Secret Service agent.”

Michelle’s vacations began in August 2010 with a two day weekend trip to Panama City, Fla., where the Obamas stayed overnight at a Gulf of Mexico hotel in a symbolic effort to show that the Gulf area was safe for travel in the wake of the disastrous BP oil spill.

In December 2010, with President Obama delayed because Congress was still in town, Mrs. Obama decided to leave without him for their annual Hawaiian vacation, racking up at least $63,000 in additional costs because she travelled alone. Since the president arrived late, he decided to leave Hawaii in January two days later than scheduled – resulting in a 17 day vacation for the first lady.

In March, Mrs. Obama travelled to Latin America for a five day trip. I’m counting two days of this as vacation, though, because she took her children and her mother along, performed some sightseeing, and went to the beach.

Michelle went to southern Africa in June for six days in what was partially an official visit. Since Mrs. Obama took her mother, her children and their cousins along, since the trip was billed in advance as having personal significance for her, and since the travel included several tourist destinations and a safari, I’m counting half of the journey as vacation, or three days.

Michelle is believed to have taken 42 days of holiday in the past year, including a $375,000 break in Spain and a four-day ski trip to Vail, Colorado, where she spent $2,000 a night on a suite at the Sebastian hotel.

And the first family’s nine-day stay in Martha’s Vineyard is also proving costly, with rental of the Blue Heron Farm property alone costing an estimated $50,000 a week.

The source continued: ‘Michelle also enjoys drinking expensive booze during her trips. She favours martinis with top-shelf vodka and has a taste for rich sparking wines

According to The Globe’s anonymous source: “The rumors are that she’s getting it on with a Secret Service agent who is not part of her detail. … Her frequent outings away from the White House give her and him an opportunity to get together.” The source adds: “Something has been going on for a couple of months and there’s no question Barack is embarrassed about her increasingly frequent excursions away from him at the White House.”

The allegations are, of course, unsubstantiated and only time will tell if the allegations will fizzle or blow up into a major issuing in the upcoming presidential campaign. Typically, the media will not report unsubstantiated claims from anonymous sources, but the recent media feeding frenzy over unsubstantiated allegation against businessman Herman Cain, which literally sank his candidacy, leave the question open: will the media pursue, or even bother to investigate this story?

In a roundtable discussion with reporters, First Lady Michelle Obama revealed that when her daughters do get to watch television, she wants them to learn a moral lesson. That includes making sure they know that the things people do on “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” are crazy. Not exactly a strong endorsement, but better than what she said her husband thought of the reality stars: he’s not a fan at all.

After some discussion about foreign policy and all that serious stuff on “The Tonight Show” on Tuesday night, Jay Leno just had to ask President Obama about his thoughts on the money-printing media moguls. “I have not seen the show,” he admitted. “I am probably a little biased against reality TV, partly because there’s this program on C-Span called ‘Congress.’ I have not seen the show… I think the girls have seen it.”

Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian are on the counterattack, and have hit an all-time low by going after First Lady Michelle Obama and her wardrobe, calling it “pretend poor” and “cheap suburban tacky” among other things. According to the National Enquirer, Kardashian family insiders say Khloe is furious as she had told friends that the President thought their show was great after she met him at the White House in 2009 at a function with her husband, Los Angeles Lakers basketball star Lamar Odom.

The insider also reveals that the sisters have gone on a rampage by dissing the First Lady, saying her clothes are selected to “keep voters on a budget” and that the President’s wife is “two-faced” and worships the lifestyle the Kardashians lead by taking “every vacation she can.”

Meanwhile, the President said that he’s never watched Keeping Up With The Kardashians during an appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

“No I haven’t seen the show,” Obama said.  “I am probably a little biased against reality TV, partly because there’s this program on C-Span called Congress that I….” he said while the audience laughed before continuing, “No I have not seen the show.”
