—apologies to Pat Boone and to Patsy Cline, and “Love Letters in the Sand”
To start the Convention
Democrats hailed The One
With a portrait sculpted of sand
Ah, but the elements
Eroded and put dents
In their portrait sculpted of sand
A monument worthy of a
Tin-pot dictator
Is as close as he’ll get to
A portrait on Rushmore
May his Presidency
Like this gross tribute, be
Just a portrait sculpted of sand
A monument worthy of a
Tin-pot dictator
Is as close as he’ll get to
A portrait on Rushmore
May his Presidency
Like this gross tribute, be
Just a portrait sculpted of sand
You should have included a picture of the one’s awesome sand statue:

And this brings up something that just as might as well be addressed now as later–there will be no Barack Obama national holiday; he won’t be appearing on Mount Rushmore; there won’t be a spot on the mall for him. When or lose this election, his supporters need to get those facts through their thick skulls. We have had demographic-firsts before in Presidents–Martin van as the first non-British subject as President, JFK as a Catholic. Now we have a black man as President. A memorable footnote in American history. But just a footnote. It is what you do, not what your DNA is, that matters. Glory must be earned.
There is no Affirmative Action program to get into the ranks of American Greatness. Obama folks can cry themselves to sleep with charges of racism all they want–Barack Obama is not going to be inducted into the Americana Hall of Fame. Deal with it.
“Win or lose” the election, not “when or lose”. I can’t believe I missed that.
And its “Martin van Buren”, of course. I might need to go back to not trying to proofread.
Remember that creepy video that a roomful of children all dressed in Obama’s yucky blue and sang his praise? Wonder how old they are now, and if their moms and dads still have a job, or are claiming disability to stay on the dole.
Call that Mt. Rainmore.
All I can say is: What a narcissist.
LOL
I saw the headline on the PJM sidebar, and I knew … I just KNEW … what th’ song ‘d be!
You are a Boone to mankind, Buzz, with this Eine Cline-a Nacht Musik
A presumably unexpected torrential rain washing away part of the statue should make mainstream Democrats (though probably not the Obama campaign staff) soil their pants.
It’s everything from supernatural omens to figurative Old Testament Wrath. H*ll, it could be Saul Alinsky p*ssing upon his ultimately-incompetent novice.
It might be Shakespearean Canute, except Obama isn’t one who’d try to dial-down his underlings’ worshipful fawning.
The Sandy Man
Who can stop the sea rise?
Saying “yes, we can”?
Gonna make them green jobs all over the place,
The Sandy Man can…
The Sandy Man can…
The Sandy Man can make us green and clean,
The Sandy Man can…
Who spent all the money?
Drive up all that debt?
Who’s Solyndra went all belly up,
The Sandy Man can…
The Sandy Man can…
The Sandy Man can pay his contributors back,
The Sandy Man can…
Etc.
The best description of the Obama Sand Sculpture I’ve seen so far is that it resembles “Leonard Nimoy with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.”
I thought it looked like Joe Piscopo, as sculpted by the Chinese sculptor who botched the Martin Luther King memorial.
