Perhaps it may turn out a sang,
Perhaps turn out a sermon.

I am not necessarily promoting Rick Perry as a presidential candidate.

But, honestly, my wife is little and skinny, ballooning up to 120 when she's "fat". She has bigger forearms than Obama. That's just pathetic.

:D

Nice juxtaposition, Mush.

It was too easy. I almost feel bad; after all Obama is a Kenyan, or at least an HKB, and the Kenyans are endurance runners not known for their upper body development. But I think it's more the body language than the body types that make the difference.

Yep - it's all in the carriage. Plus, under the circumstances, we know too much. If he was just Sumdood, an average Joe on an average bike having a simple bit of afternoon fun with the family, that would be one thing - sure, he'd still look a bit silly but in a more likeable - dare I say, forgiveable way. But at the moment, he is none of those things. He's a slouch who failed up into the most powerful job in the world, and whose ordinary weakness in the face of all the challenges that entails (and which weakness this image of him too easily represents) is far more difficult to forgive considering the effects of that weakness: a failing economy and the diminishing of the American Dream; the enmity of our friends and the empowerment of our enemies; and of course the indentured servitude of generations of Americans. All this while indulging his own appetite for a lavish lifestyle at our expense.

No, don't feel bad. He is what he is, unfortunately for all of us.

I'm virtually certain it's really a picture of Michelle with O's head photoshopped on top. I mean no male would ride like that, not even Ali Bama.

I hope to Zeus I'm right.

I don't think it's Michelle, but it could be a young Jerry Lewis.

The more I thought about it, Robin, you do some amazing stuff, but I don't think even you could make Michelle look that good.
