Obozo and the Rev--- what a pair.

Obama in India.

The White House is frequented and occupied by ghouls, at least one witch, and many other scary characters out of a nightmare. (IMO) It being close to October 31st, I thought it would be fitting to put names to these artistic masterpieces sculpted by an man by the name of Ray Villafane (according to the chain email I received)President Pumpkin head-or ........... and some of his staff or buddies-you decide

This has to be the most BIZARRE political photo of the year. So what is your caption for this picture?

After a few days of plotting and planning the state-run media finally settled on an excuse. Now the media spin is that Queen Michelle really traveled to Spain to mourn the loss of a parent with a friend. Here’s Michelle mourning with the Spanish King Juan Carlos. Here’s Michelle mourning while sight seeing in Ronda. Poor Michelle even had to mourn with her friends down at the beach. It was a very somber trip for the First Lady…

WASHINGTON — Members of Congress lined up near a fire pit on the South Lawn on Tuesday to eat Northwest-style salmon while others chomped down on Midwest-style hot dogs. It was all part of the White House's annual congressional picnic, and this year the event featured foods from regions across the country for a "Tastes of the States" theme. President Barack Obama, standing next to first lady Michelle Obama, told lawmakers he wanted to thank them for their "incredible devotion to the country, regardless of party." As part of the event, every member of Congress is invited, along with their...

Heads were certainly turned during Barack Obama's goodwill tour of China, as this cheeky sailor's expression reveals. The American leader was inspecting the country's naval forces yesterday when the sailor dropped his mask of indifference and openly gawped at the president. America and China emerged from hours of intense, closed-door talks yesterday after making little progress on the key issues that divide the two nations. Despite reaffirming the importance of greater U.S.-China co-operation to world peace and stability, President Obama and President Hu Jintao were unable to disguise the deep differences that separate their countries on trade, security, climate change...

Reader Wayne sent us this photograph and explains, "I was walking along and texting. Not really paying that much attention. Then something caught my eye. I thought I was about to step in dog shit, but quickly realized it was a rat stuck in the sidewalk. A big rat. It had tried to squeeze through a crack in the sidewalk and failed." Update: Another reader created the second photograph in the gallery, adding, "hopefully this makes it a little better!" We are still awaiting a reply from Wayne to ask if he tried to help the little guy (or gal)...

When you are driving around a safari park, there is no doubt you want to get up close to the interesting animals loping around the grounds. But the occupants of this Ford were probably not expecting to have quite such a close view as they made their way through Knowsley Safari Park. The expression on their faces is sadly not visible as their small vehicle is surrounded by no less than 10 lions who live there. But you can bet they had the windows and locks tightly closed just in case one of the animals became over-cautious and moved even...
