This is clearly a rare alligator:
"Three Central Florida deputies are being reprimanded after an officer was bitten and hospitalized by an 8-foot alligator."
(From Local6.com in Orlando.)

On the Today Show this morning, it was mentioned that people are wondering if Michelle Obama is "too sarcastic and too independent." Whilst I am not sure that one can be too sarcastic or too independent, I can't help but think that's code for "is not afraid to have her own opinions."
