1. Also, add that no one else can take a vacation or will be

criticized for doing so during this tense time :grr:. Five more months - five more months.

3. he just saw people at the pool, on the courts, and playing on the monkey bars

made him think of recess.

4. Weird photo

Not that he ever takes a good one, but it seems like -- over the past few years -- photographers or photo editors are tending to display a marked lack of respect for the man (fully deserved, of course) in their selection of pictures. Then again, it really does seem to be hard to find one in which he doesn't look like the addled moron that he is.

7. Beer droop

Looks to me like he's had enough beers to cause him to nod off. A few seconds later he'll wake up, and then about 30 seconds later nod off again. That cycle can repeat for hours if he has a beer by his side that he drinks in his wakeful moments.

5. Vacationing all August LIKE THE FRENCH DO is strange

for the man who wants us to hate the French......
