Under the radar, on top of your world: people you should know about.

So you may or may not know of Michelle Malkin, the high-strung conservative activist whose blog bashes illegal immigrants like there’s no tomorrow. We have never mentioned Michelle here at Guanabee, but she is bound to pop up at one point or another so we would like to introduce her and provide a few fun facts:

• Malkin’s real name is not Michelle. It’s née Maglalang.
• Malkin is the American-born daughter of two Filipino immigrants, but she dismisses any ties to her roots— just like Jessica Alba.
• Malkin opposes the granting of citizenship to babies born to tourists and temporary workers in the U.S. Presumably, she was granted automatic citizenship when she was born to freshly arrived immigrants in the 70’s.
• Malkin is a syndicated columnist for MSNBC, Fox News Channel, and C-SPAN. She is the substitute host for Bill O’Reilly.
• Malkin has been called the Asian version of Ann Coulter, an ultraconservative right winger, who is blond.

We don’t like to get political here, but we do have to admit that whenever we come across any of Malkin’s unsubstantiated articles or angry rhetoric we can’t help but throw up a little in our mouths.
