Trick-or-Treat with the President and First Lady


Like a good theme-dresser, Michelle Obama donned black and orange for yesterday's White House trick-or-treating.

Joined by President Obama, FLOTUS greeted area students and children of military families for Halloween, handing out cookies, "White House M&M's" and trail mix with plenty of dried fruit (gotta lower those child obesity rates!).

Although the kids showed up in a variety of fun get-ups (we spy an Angry Bird...), the First Lady kept it simple: black coat, black bejeweled bangles, boots and an orange striped dress.

Michelle's mother, Marian Robinson, got a little more creative with her rabbit costume, complete with ears and drawn-on whiskers.

Below, see video and pictures of the First Family celebrating Halloween!

After spending nearly 28 years in an irreversible coma, heiress and socialite Martha "Sunny" von Bulow died Saturday in a New York nursing home, according to a family statement. She was 76. Von Bulow was subject of one of the nation's most sensational criminal cases during the 1980s. Her husband, Claus, was accused of trying to kill her with an overdose of insulin, which prosecutors alleged sent her into the coma. He was convicted of making two attempts on her life, but the conviction was overturned on appeal. He was acquitted in a second trial. His retrial in 1985 received national attention. (Via CNN )

Make Jerry Curl Great Again

You can't consider yourself a writer if you don't write. In recent years, I have probably said those words to myself so often that they could be considered a mantra; a mantra that I don't want to embody but one that is nonetheless true. I don't write anymore. I don't write to faraway friends. I don't write to remember. I don't write for pleasure. I don't write for release. I don't even Tweet. At a recent job interview (for another job I didn't really want), I was asked what I would do for a living if I could do anything. Without even thinking about it, I said I would be a writer. But that was a stock answer. It's the answer I've always given to that question. But this time the answer felt phony. It felt forced. It didn't feel like me anymore. The real, ugly, scary truth is that I don't know if I still got the right stuff to be the writer I wanted to be. While I have always questioned the validity of my own voice (my
