Speaking of presidents

Here's me in 1988 with the then president of the USA, I thought the name Bush was hilarious at the time, but then I also thought batman earrings were the coolest things evah! (Except while trying to watch arachnophobia in the cinema when they'd dangle on your neck feeling like a spider's tiptoe)
Anyway - decision time tomorrow. I never saw the attraction of having a self styled smooth businessman from reality tv-land as a president myself. Though he does look a little like Danger cushions, when he does his power pout the leading candidate (up until monday anyway) did a mean impression of Danger at his most upset... Hopefully the bumbling explanations, contradictions, condescensions and general rubbish he's been talking this week will be enough to change a few minds. I'm routing for David Norris. He's by far the most entertaining, as anyone who watched Monday's Frontline debate will know, ok he's had a funny campaign, what with stepping out for most of it and just returning a few weeks ago, but to me that demonstrates brilliant strategy - less work, maximum impact... there's lots more to say but I'm off for a nice walk in the woods.
You have 20 hours to convince me otherwise

Jaysus! I've just seen you with The Bush Monster WTF?

Done TFE!
Yes - Bush was looking to increase his popularity in Ireland and his people contacted my people looking for a photo op, well I was young and I needed the money...

In reality it's a cardboard cut out that my american relatives obviously thought it would be funny to get me a pic with - I had no idea who it was - it's just after washing up here along with other detritus from my childhood - the perils of moving in across the road from your parents (who see an opportunity to finally clear out the garage)

"In reality it's a cardboard cut out" - corrugated evil is still evil.

I don't suppose Mary Davis has much of a chance.

Afraid no chance for Mary, Acorn, though her first name alone should have guaranteed success.
I think it was solid board, rather than corrugated. Don't suppose that makes a difference.
Bus/Eej, thanks for standing up for me :-)
