10. He looks like he just got sprinkled with pixie dust...
Or he's high as a kite. I'm guessing the latter.

19. peanut brittle.. they alos make white chocolate bark with almonds
and chocolate with almonds. you can buy their peanut butter puffs. When I was a kid, our church bought candy from this company and we were forced to sell it door to door (it's mostly fund raiser candy from what I remember). I loved their peanut butter puffs though.

14. Look how hard he has to concentrate to just put a lid on a box.
My 5 month old kitten can open the latch on the bathroom door more easily.

15. "impromptu stop"?? a man who doesn't ever want to see ANYBODY
who might disagree with him, a man whose approval ratings are in the toilet, a man who doesn't want to associate with anyone but his "base", and we are expected to believe that he made an "impromptu stop" somewhere? PULEEEEEEEZE, just how stupid do they think WE are? we are, after all, NOT the sheeples and the headblind and dittoheads.

22. I wonder if people ever show disinterest or disdain at these events,
or if getting caught up in a Presidential visit is just irresistible for most workers.

32. I was wondering that myself.
I think what happens is the celebrity effect. They may all hate the guy but they don't know how to react when he pops up in person. It may also be some misdirected respect for the office.(Funny how that phrase comes up when we have jerks in place who don't respect the office themselves!)

28. He's really concentrating hard on getting that lid

Good for him not to ruin his "beautiful mind" with the dead in Iraq.
