Great chimp photo on the cover of today's New York Times.

[Cyrano]

I don't know how to upload a photo, so hopefully, someone reading this will do it.

His posture in the photo really does make him look like a chimp. He's in kind of a half squat with one arm askew and the other reaching out to the crowd. Maybe someone was holding out a banana.

Anyhow, hope someone can post it. It's a gotta see.

3. Matthew 7:7

And the caption from the Times is pretty good: "Almost within shouting distance," referring to the bubble that surrounds the Chimperial Presence at his campaign stops.

16. Monkey Man

The Rolling Stones knew WTF was coming:



Monkey Man

I’m a fleabit peanut monkey
All my friends are junkies
That’s not really true

I’m a cold Italian pizza
I could use a lemon squeezer
What you do?

But I’ve been bit and I’ve been tossed around
By every she-rat in this town
Have you, babe?

Well, I am just a monkey man
I’m glad you are a monkey woman too

I was bitten by a boar
I was gouged and I was gored
But I pulled on through

Yes, I’m a sack of broken eggs
I always have an unmade bed
Don’t you?

Well, I hope we’re not too messianic
Or a trifle too satanic
We love to play the blues

Well I am just a monkey man
I’m glad you are a monkey, monkey woman too, babe

I’m a monkey
I’m a monkey
I’m a monkey man
I’m a monkey man
I’m a monkey...

(By Mick Jagger and Keith Richards)

5. You mean this one

Where's Cronus - he's almost perfectly mimicking that Barrel Full of Monkeys image that Cronus adapted as United Against the Bush Regime. Look at that pose!

[Cyrano]

7. Yes. Many thanks Gratuitous and Stephanie

6. Is this the one?

[trogdor]

19. You mean this one?

I played around with it a little

8. Poor Baby. He's getting iwwitable again.

He's upset no one believes his latest terror alert. :nopity:

From Times:
"While Mr. Kerry mentioned Mr. Bush by name, Mr. Bush never once so mentioned Mr. Kerry, and at first ignored shouted questions from reporters wanting to know how he felt to have his competitor down the street. Finally, when a reporter asked Mr. Bush during a stop at a farmers' market what Mr. Kerry was doing in Davenport, Mr. Bush curtly replied, "Ask him," then continued eating a raw ear of corn."

9. Meanwhile on the other side of town...

People can come within inches of Kerry.

11. my god -the guy bit into a raw ear of corn!!

what an idiot.....saw this last night and i was wondering if he bit into it..he did!! wait a minute..he continued eating it????

[Cyrano]

12. By tomorrow, he'll probably bite the head off a live chicken.

He just keeps getting weirder.

[ClassWarrior]

18. Your post inspired me to send the following to Tweety Matthews...

"Chris,

Has President Bush blown a gasket? Who on God's green earth eats corn on the cob RAW??



I'm from a farm state, and I've NEVER heard of anything so bizarre. What's next? Is he going to bite the head off a live chicken? I think this guy is losing his marbles smack dab in the bright glare of the klieg lights.

Sincerely..."

I figure this incident is one of those kind of oddball things that get Tweety's dander up. It's worth a try, anyway.

13. Ever see this movie called "Scarecrows"

some mercenaries robbed a military pay roll, and hijacked a commuter plane.

they had to land on a farm in Florida, in a field full of evil scarecrows.

one of the main characters got hungry, and munched on raw corn.

for some reason, that pic made me think of that movie.

come to think of it, bush does look like one of those evil, demonic scarecrows :D

14. raw corn is fine

I eat it that way all the time - but if you want to drench it in butter and salt then it helps to heat it up first so the butter melts.

20. Cooking it converts the starch to sugar.

[central scrutinizer]

21. No, cooking stops the conversion of sugar to starch

Once an ear is picked it immediately begins the inexorable process of converting sugars to starch. Cooking stops this process. Canning and freezing books say you are not supposed to even pick the corn until your water is boiling, then immediately husk and boil to maximize the sweetness.
