'Alpha Dog' is at it again! Putin leads biker gang in his latest macho photo opportunity
The Daily Mail ^

Posted on 08/30/2011 8:00:55 AM PDT by AfricanChristian

Politicians will usually kick off an election campaign with a rousing speech, a meet-and-greet handshaking session or a nice photo opportunity kissing a baby. Unless, of course, they are Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who joined a biker gang and led them on a testosterone-fuelled motorcade. Over-revving the engine as he sat astride a three-wheeled Harley Davidson, the former KGB tough man looked both ludicrous and very much at home in the latest of macho stunts that have punctuated his political career.

Is it really a good idea to ride a motorcycle in high heels?

NO.

[and definitely not a long, billowing, multilayer “Stevie Nicks” type silk chiffon skirt either....don’t ask.]

Mini-skirts and thigh-high boots, however, are perfectly acceptable.

[don’t ask about that, either]

;D

This guy seems to have some real "manhood" identity problems. Wonder if he is a closet queer?

It appears he shaves his chest. Doesn't he know it will grow back thicker and thicker?

Jeez, for a specialty hobby item (let’s face it, you don’t get one of those to go to the grocers) offering a small discount to a group with a distinct need as an incentive only makes sense.

My Dad’s retired Air Force and my brother is active duty Army. Military discounts do create loyalty.

Depending on the discount you offer you might take a small hit on up front margin. But you’ll make it up on volume, accessories, repeat business and referrals.

It’s a big win for both you and your customers.

Thanks and a mocha latte for showing a high degree of politically correct LGBT sensitivity. However, you have left us, your gentle readers, still wondering if the POTUS is “L,”....”G,”....”B,”....or “T.” You see, he may visit our economically dead town some day soon, and we have to know about the ...er ... restroom facilities.

Putin could be eating corn flakes for breakfast and he’d look more macho than Obama and he loves Russia - that’s admirable. You think Obama and the Clinton’s love this country?

Good on you for giving handicapped vets a discount on your trikes.

Still, the motorcycle riding vet says (and I mean it with all respect) trikes are for the old, the weak, and the handicapped). When I’m old and weak, or if I find myself handicapped, I might get myself one.

When I see a 68 yr. old cancer survivor or disabled vet on a trike, they get much respect from me. When it’s someone who’s so fat they can hardly walk or some jerk-off that hasn’t figured out how to actually ride a motorcycle, well....not so much.

Same goes for Putin. He’s not disabled. If he wants to be tough guy so bad, get a two-wheeled machine.

Strange. All the new mens moutain bikes at the shop I go to have that style. The womens mountain bikes are still the traditional style for women. The street bikes, though, have both the new style and the traditional mens style. This was at a shop that primarily sells Specialized.

I’m not sure!

In fact, Hussein Obama may well be all LGBT!

In terms of restroom visits, Michelle’s wife may want to consider consulting Lady Gayga on the proper LGBT restroom protocols.

But, above all, let us all, especially myself, practice the necessary sensitivity for those who simply cannot figure out the actual purpose of their reproductive organs!
