I’m on vacation, actually! Wrapped up eleven months of back to back software projects, taking a break.
But actually it’s not that. It’s that things are getting so damned surreal out there in Politico-Land!
The Obama He-Man Navy Seal doll takes the cake. How can you not go all absurdist on something like that?
Especially when the *real* iconic image of Our Beloved Leader is this one:

More surreal by the moment …..
In a perfect example of a big media company looking to capitalize on current events, The Walt Disney Company has trademarked “Seal Team 6,” which also happens to be the name of the elite special forces team that killed Osama Bin Laden.

Sadie 6: The Walt Disney Company has trademarked “Seal Team 6
Hey, maybe they’ll make a gung-ho, kick-ass, pro-American military movie. Not exactly holding my breath, but maybe!
Screen fade-in. The General stands before the Oval Office desk; Obama behind it. The General pounds his fist on the oaken surface.
General, loudly: “Mr. President, I’m begging you after all these months… MAKE THE DECISION!
President: “I, uh… uh… there are so many… important factors… uh…”
General: “Mr. President, we’re ready. Just give us the Go. Every day of dithering increases the chance that this terrorist monster is going to slip away. Do you really want that to happen on your watch?”
President, with eyes suddenly narrowed and alert: “Are you threatening me? Are you a Republican? Because if you are, I will destroy you within the hour. You won’t know what hit you.”
General: “Mr. President. If only you took that attitude towards our *real* enemies. Give us the signal to go, Mr. President. That’s all we’re asking. That’s all I’m asking.”
Sadie, I think this is Disney’s pay back for Iranian TV’s unauthorized use of Mickey Mouse as there are rumors that Mickey may be kidnapped soon…
Mike “Iconic image” of our leader showing how to break two laws at the same time by riding his bike in the crosswalk and heading onto the sidewalk with trailer in tow.

MIke, that photo of Obama in his mom jeans is a far cry from LBJ tearing down a Texas dirt road at 70 mph in his white convertible Caddy, one hand on the steering wheel, the other on his whiskey bottle, and his eyes locked on the poor scared-sh**less NYT reporter in the back seat who was along for the ride.
I can only imagine how loudly our nancy boy prez would scream on a kiddie roller coaster.
