Please tell me he’s wearing pants…

Blog Guy, I’m tempted to run for public office, so that if I win, I will no longer have to talk to shirtless guys in walrus masks. I would value your opinion on this.

Not so fast, sport. As you can see in this news photo, even Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko found himself deep in conversation with a no-shirt walrus-face guy. There seems to be no escaping them these days.

But what really tickles me is our caption. We found it necessary to to put (L) after Yushchenko’s name, so readers would not be confused about which man is the president and which is the walrus-face. Hey, thanks for clearing that up!

This is why I could never be a politician. I wouldn’t be able to stand there talking to a guy wearing nothing but a “walrus mask” (OUTDOORS in the middle of JANUARY in KIEV, to boot) and keep a straight face.

Dear President Yushchenko,

Do you know all there is to know about the walrus game?

Your ol’ American chum,

[thought bubble] FIGHT the urge to milk him. His tusks look like cow teats and at the same time, he’s got man boobs. DO NOT LAUGH! God help me, if I start, I swear milk will come out of my nose. Hah! Hah! Ahahahahaha.

THIS is why I am a great politician. I can keep it all inside my head and just smile and smile!
