News, but not the serious kind
The carrot and the shtick?

Hey Blog Guy, it’s me. That guy who collects photographs of famous people with vegetables. Bet you didn’t think you’d hear from me again.
Well, I did change my photo and got new sunglasses. What do you want? The last time I offered you photos of Michelle Obama with sweet potatoes and you said that wasn’t special enough.
It wasn’t. First ladies with sweet potatoes are a dime a dozen, going back to Lucretia Garfield.
How about the Michelle Obama with red peppers? Here’s one on the left.
Sorry, the famous person actually needs to be touching the vegetable.
What would you say to Michelle Obama holding a carrot?
Are you just toying with me? There has been chatter about a carrot photo for the last couple of days, but I didn’t dare believe it. What with the recent changes in the food pyramid, that would be worth its weight in gold.
Gold? Twenty-four carrot gold, I suppose?
You shut up, Blog Guy! This is a serious hobby! Big money is involved.
Let me ask you something. Let’s just say I could lay my hands on a shot of Mitt Romney smirking at an ear of corn?
You’ll never have anything like that. Not on a blogger’s salary. That shot is only a rumor, and it’s already on the fast track to be Goofiest Photo of the Year.
Yeah, silly me. I guess that’s the stuff dreams are made of.

Politicians and vegetables.
Who can really tell the difference?
These pics bring to mind one of my all-time favorites – the great cowboy poet Baxter Black’s famous poem, A Vegetarian’s Nightmare. Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zfzT7QfL Zc
Ah, Michelle with the carrot. The caption should read, “Eh, what’s up, doc?”
Incidentally I just visited Malta’s version of the President’s Kitchen Garden, but there were no goofy faced dignitaries there. I would have made a fortune…
Had a moocher dig
in my garden yesterday.
Was it you, Michelle?
cute
Michelle did it! She
has found the vegetables
of mass destruction!
“Obama speaks at the Walmart announcement initiative to make food healthier and more affordable in Washington..”
You make sure she goes no where near the Goofy Face Museum and Doughnut Shop Mr. B. You make darn sure she stays away from the precious doughnuts!
Skeres! Was just about to say that!
Though cool as she is, Michelle O cant beet the Bugs!
