Don't you just love that smile?
Here he is with the First Lady.
I think he would make an awesome Secret Service agent. Well I guess he could never be exactly "secret" but he would still be a great security guy.

You know usually a person's t-shirt does not describe them quite this accurately.

I would love to see the expression on Obama's face! Great photo, though!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeleteGood gawd! Dude looks TEN feet tall! Love the pics!
ReplyDeleteMe too. He has wonderful smile.
DeleteThat's a big dude. Um, Mister President, you better try to bring him out on you, or I don't think we're going to be able to score much on them down on the block. Looks like we'll be shooting 3's today.
ReplyDeleteYears ago at Mardi Gras it was so packed down on the streets in the French Quarter that our group of guys would all still be lost if we didn't have a bud who was a head taller than the crowd. He was our search and rescue and needed all of his size, brute strength, and wits to keep us together, alive, and safe & sound.
That was Dave, the best friend a man could ever hope to have. He was a Democrat and knew why he was a Democrat, even when the rest of us were some young, cocky, Republican assholes that had a little money and thought we were big shit. Eventually, we learned better. I miss ol' Big Dave.
Long ago and far away I was going to a small country college. I loved to play pool, but the only place to play pool was a rough country bar. One of my class mates was 7' 1". (I'm only 120lbs and 5".) He was pretty tough looking too - bushy red hair with a big bushy beard. He didn't care to play pool, but he liked beer. He was my bodyguard, perched on a bar stool where he could watch me play. Any time I had a problem, I'd just gesture with my cue towards my friend, who would tip back his cap, put down his beer and ask politely to the party that was bugging me "If there was a problem?" There never seemed to be one...
DeleteI love giants.
Yep, giants are people, too, my friend.
DeleteCool. And I thought I was going to see Sarah in her Valley Trash shirt. This is MUCH better.
ReplyDeleteWhile it's good to put faces on political ignorance and koolaid, it's sad that people are proud of said ignorance, and sadder if they don't realize they're ignorant.
ReplyDeleteBless em all.
Huh????
DeleteYou are talking about the crazy creationist science and women hating RW nut jobs aren't you?
DeleteTo recognize ignorance furthers no progress unless it is one's own. Even then, it is only the beginning of enlightenment, not an accomplishment to be feted.
DeleteTo accept others is not to advocate their ignorance. People don't really care how much you know until they know how much you care.
I am only proud of my own ignorance once I have recognized and overcome it and have replaced it with knowledge. But as I overcome ignorance more and more, I always find there is still more ignorance within me to overcome as I continue to analyze myself.
DeleteWhen I cease my own self-analysis and focus on the ignorance of others, my own ignorance grows although I do not recognize its existence at all.
Who is truly the wiser?
One who does not know he himself is ignorant?
Or one who knows of his own ignorance, but chooses not to change?
Well bless your heart ( in Southern that means shut your trap you crazy bitch)
DeleteThe young man had a Tshirt made when he went to see the President of the USA. Don't you love the USA? You must not because you hvae so little respect for the highest office in our great country.
I love the fact this young man wore this Tshirt, it assured him of a personal meeting with the First Lady and the President.
I remember a few yrs ago when a friend of mine became a US Senator and I was lucky enough to be invited to the swearing in cerimony. It was an exciting day all around and I had the opportunity to meet many Senators from both sides of the political spectrum.
But go drink your Fox koolaide and send Granny Sarah some more $$$$$$$
Did Krusty have a magic mushroom omelette this morning for breakfast?
DeleteAnonymous7:45 AM
DeleteSTFU Krusty and go back to bed! Oh that's right...YOU'RE already there! LOL!
Well then...maybe it's time for you to change your sheets and air out your room...because your entire paragraph (as usual) made no SENSE!
PS...Beefy called...but all your phone lines were busy and she didn't feel like leaving you a message so she told me to tell you.....FUCK OFF KRAZY! LOL!!
8:40 magic omlette?
DeleteI seriously doubt Krusty had anything other than her usual Cheetos and room-temperature beer. She'd have to actually leave her room (and the interior of her mom's house!!!) to pick mushrooms, and you know, Gryphen might post something to his blog while she's out.
Obviously, that ain't gonna happen. Who's going to be standing guard for Beefy & Baldy, if not their trusty Krusty?
Sarah's biggest fan is Krusty aka "the bearded lady", jealous much?
DeleteTripp Johnston-Palin-Palin-Johnston will be much bigger than Igor in 20 years at his current rate of growth as a 3-year old.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a growth chart handy but if someone who does can check that to verify, it'd be helpful.
That's because he was born 04/18/2008.
DeleteThat makes sense to me, as 8 months difference in age is significant at that age. Since you're on a roll, help me with the other pieces of the puzzle before us. I realize that there are multiple puzzles, and some pieces seem to fit in either or both. Or are there more than two?
DeleteWOW!! Glad he is on our side! A beautiful smile to match that of President Obama. Hope the young man has a healthy, happy life.
ReplyDeleteI love his T-shirt Idea :) and I think it's one of a kind.
ReplyDeleteYou go Igor!!!!
Look what the hell FOX has done now. Try the lot of them for treason, hang 'em high and get the FCC to strip the whole bunch of them of their licenses. NOW!

Sickening, isn't it? Another Valerie Plume, that's how the GOP rolls, real American patriots, just like News of the World.
DeleteThe recent direction of Mitt Romney’s campaign may seem perplexing — the candidate’s birther joke, those ads accusing Obama of gutting welfare reform, John Sununu’s jab that Obama needs to learn how to be American, and veep pick Paul Ryan’s s pride at bitterly clinging to guns and God — but it can all be explained with just one number: 61 percent, which is the share of the white vote Romney needs to win.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.theatlanticwire.com/politics/2012/08/romneys-birther-joke-explained-one-number-he-needs-61-white-vote-win/56192/
Romney won't get 61% of the white vote unless the turnout is extremely high on the nutter end and very subdued on the working class end. Yes, I know there's obviously an overlap in that Venn diagram, but they are not collectively exhaustive.
DeleteActually, where Mitt will lose is with White independents will move away from R/R as they continue to polarize the electorate. Many of us were Repubs that were driven away by the Bush/Chaney regime that is pulling Mitt's puppet strings.
But first things first, Mitt's got to try to secure his base of racist whites first and get them motivated to turn out at the polls. Then, he'll have to try to pivot towards the middle later in the campaign to get the independents and hope his RW base doesn't crumble in the process as he does that.
It's just tough to appeal to both sides, and PBO is entrenched pretty close to where Romney would want to be under different circumstances, especially on social issues.
Sadly, a Republican has to take the package of all RW positions, including fiscal, which hurt most R's financially, and social, which aren't really going to be changed by RW factions only bc if filibuster possibility in Senate.
I don't think Mitt can pull it off unless Dems get lazy thinking its a slam dunk. And I really can't imagine Mitt out working POB.
A long read, but well worth the time.

For Obama, Racism Comes From Supporters As Well As Opponents

Anon at 8:46, like Rachel Maddow explained, it is trolling for getting the racist vote. If you can show that liberals hate Rmoney, then the racists will vote for him.
ReplyDeleteTell you what. If a born and bred mixed race man who worked his butt off to get where he is (including turning down lucrative offers after law school to go work in the Chicago projects to try to HELP people) is not one of us, what does that make a silver spoon arrogant entitled SOB who hasn't even met a middle class working man he hasn't insulted? Not to mention that the entire GOP despises women? In my book, that makes Mitt Romney dangerous to America. And Ryan? Well, the best part of his connection to Akin is that they wrote a bill enabling rapists to SUE their victims, if the victim was indeed pregnant and chose abortion over a daily reminder of the terror of the crime. These men are control freaks at best, and horrible people at worst. And yet, in order to stop abortion, they will also stop contraception...what is the matter with these people?
ReplyDeleteThe photographer exaggerated his height with the angle of the shot. If you remember, Michelle is close to 6' tall. The picture looks like he is 3' taller than her. Very odd. In any case, it is great that he met with the Obamas and that he wears that shirt.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a straight on shot to me. It looks like he is about two feet taller. Michelle is 5' 11". Igor's shoes may have a thicker sole (necessitated by his weight, and could give him a little more elevation... or not). What is apparent is the difference in body volume. It is like a boat, given the same hull design, you add a few feet of length and the volume goes up exponentially. He is bigger in all dimensions. Hence, he looks enormous... and he is.
DeleteJust a Mote - You're spot on. I remember seeing the tallest woman from Guinness World Record, because she was so tall, her joints couldn't support the extra mass, she needed several surgeries and could only stand with assistance for short periods of time. For a Giant, Igor seems to have strong bone structure and can walk with the help of those special shoes.
DeleteReminds me of my favorite line from Young Frankentein
"It's Twue! It's Twue!!!"
Igor or Joe the Plumbtard...
ReplyDeleteI'll take Igor...
:)
I don't doubt his size, but there is something really off about the pictures. If you look at the second one, the lady in the white shirt would have to be about 4' tall. Michelle is almost 6' tall and her head looks to be about 1/4 the size of his. She looks 3' shorter than him.
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome pic!
ReplyDeleteHaha... look how annoyed the people are standing behind him :)
I'd like to see him shoot hoops with The President!
ReplyDeleteWow! How can Romney compete? "Little People for Romney"
