This is what we say to Obama...
And this is what he hears...

Oddly enough, "Obama" in the first image looks slightly larger than in the second, although the typeface is exactly the same.

Hat tip to Gary Larson, LOL. Good job! ;-)

Exactly right.
And likewise for cats.

I've seen the one for cats too, but that image doesn't load when I click on it, fyi.
Anyway, your post is not only a great homage to Larson but a genius expansion. A work of art, Rootie. Thanks. ;-)

That link still works for me, but maybe your local network is running a "cat trap."

Hahaha! I love that one too.
Sideways related to dogs, I always think of this when I meet a Doug.
Meanwhile, back in Kabul... I'm extremely nervous about the level of violence that will likely take the lives of Afghans who dare to go to the polls on Thursday.

Public opinion in the USA is running 54-41 against our crazy war Afghanistan, and Obama just keeps pouring in more troops, while McChrystal is dreaming up clever ways to squeeze more combat engagement out of the troops who are already in-country.
And meanwhile the main victims of our absurd geopolitical fantasies are riding their donkey-carts to the polls, and the Taliban is waiting for them on the road.

All that's missing from this surreal circus is a Mad Hatter, Red Queen, Alice Liddell, and maybe a few borogroves...
And that's why there are 62,000 American soldiers in Afghanistan.

Who are you?
And what the hell is that even supposed to mean?
Go climb back up your redwoods and get back in your tinfoil tree-forts you fucking idiots.
Politics is about negotiation. We're lucky we've even gotten this far, considering we're challenging the entire corporate order in this country.
