When Barack Met Angie

At the official State Dinner in honor of German Chancellor Angela Merkel (June 7, 2011).

Or as I like to think of it, "When Barack Met Angie"

"Who-farted-eyes?" translates into any language:


Michelle going in for tongue. Watch out Joachim:


"You. Are. Out. Of. Cool Whip? Shut. Up!"


"Hey Michelle, your boobs look spectacular!"


Hmm, Angie drinks red?
Barack drinks Champagne? (or is that lager?)



That Barack! He oughta write for the Jon Stewart Show! Or Colbert even! What a scream!


Ok, seriously!? Did anyone know we had a SMOKIN' HOT Supreme Court Justice? Whoa! It's Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and his wife Jane Roberts. Hubba, hubba!


Their silhouettes look so angelic...no pun intended...

The Gift

Darling don't you understand
I feel so ill at ease
The room is full of silence and it's getting hard to breathe
Take this guilded cage of pain and set me free
Take this overcoat of shame
It never did belong to me



I need to go outside
I need to leave the smoke
'Cause I can't go on living in this same sick joke
It seems our lives have taken on a different kind of twist
Now that you have given me the perfect gift
You have given me the gift


For we have fallen from our shelves
To face the truth about ourselves
And we have tumbled from our trees
Tumbled from our trees

And I can almost...
I can almost feel the rain falling
Don't you know it feels so good
So let's go out into the rain again
Just like we said we always would

If I Had A Boat

If I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat


If I were Roy Rogers
I'd sure enough be single
I couldn't bring myself to marrying old Dale
It'd just be me and Trigger
We'd go riding through them movies
Then we'd buy a boat and on the sea we'd sail


And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat


The mystery masked man was smart
He got himself a Tonto
'Cause Tonto did the dirty work for free
But Tonto he was smarter
And one day said kemo sabe
Kiss my ass I bought a boat
I'm going out to sea


And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat


And if I were like lightning
I wouldn't need no sneakers
I'd come and go whenever I would please
And I'd scare 'em by the light pole
But I would not scare my pony on my boat
out on the sea


And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat

Angie Merkel orchid

German Chancellor Angela Merkel takes in the sights and scents at the National Orchid Garden in Singapore. During her recent visit, the chancellor was honored by having an orchid plant named after her (Dendrobium Angela Merkel). Orchids are the national flower of Singapore, and the garden also has orchids named after Nelson Mandela, the Queen of England and Lady Di.

Anna Calvi "Blackout"

Double Mondays are the day after a 3-day holiday weekend

You ache for stable ground
But your tracks fade into nothing

You search your black heart for meaning
At the light you see a woman
It's Anna Calvi

The A-hole Special

That's right folks, for those of you that want to eat an A-hole, here's the menu item for you (no, this wasn't photo-shopped, but on an actual menu at a local Japanese restaurant). The price for this brown glory? Only $13-$15 depending on how deep you wanna go.

For the record, I didn't order it. I have limits to my adventuresome eating habits.
