These two photos showed up by chance next to each other in my Facebook newsfeed. I thought the resemblance was striking.

It is an interesting biological fact that all of us have, in our veins, the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in tuna fish.

Tillerman said...

I think you are correct in that statement O Docker. From what I can understand, vertebrates and fish do have almost exactly the same concentrations of salt in their blood.

What a shame that Ted Sorenson didn't know that so he could have used a true biological fact in Kennedy's famous America's Cup speech instead of that cobblers about seawater.

I haven't announced it publicly yet, but I'm thinking of running for president in 2016.

I was just trying to see if I could sound presidential.

A superb lack of research!

O Docker. I am delighted that you are thinking of running for President in 2016.

As you have probably heard, a relative unknown, even a rhetorical genius like yourself, might have a hard time in the Democratic primary. But after yesterday, the Republican primary is wide open.

Just remember these 3 basic rules…

1. Under no circumstances ever say on camera, "I am what I am, but I am not a bully." Channeling both Popeye and Nixon in the same quote is not presidential.

2. Try to avoid calling your constituents "idiots", "numbnuts", "SOB" or "jerks." Some of them may have actually been planning to vote for you before you insulted them.

3. Keep away from anything to do with bridges. Do not even joke about traffic cones.

O Docker said...

This is what got me thinking I may have a chance.

In my entire life, I have never done anything to obstruct traffic on the George Washington Bridge. There was that time I ran out of gas on Route 3 in Secaucus, but a good spin doctor should have no problem explaining that away.

Careful boys. This will all soon pass. Do not be so quick to dismiss the doughboy; he will surely surpass all of our expectations. And you can quote me on that one.

Such statements are impossible for public figures in NJ to avoid saying. Next there will be talk of how long the air lasts in the trunk of a Lincoln Towncar.

As for babies and fish - we humans got the arrangement of our face from fish via evolution. Call me fish-face. We all are.

Baydog - I don't dismiss the doughboy - nor do I excuse his behavior. I am (truly) concerned for his health. He needs to change his habits so he can be around for those who believe in him and particularly for those who are close and love him.

It should be obvious from decades of history that ONLY those willing to compromise their publicly stated values in favor of the bankers, corporations and military-industrial-intelligence-congress-complex will ever occupy the White House. At least until Americans realize that they really can control the situation if they want to. Will they? I don't know, but as anyone can tell by the fact that I haven't even visited the US in ten years, I'm not optimistic. Please prove me wrong - I have loved ones there.

Were we really discussing the presidential chance of the Jersey doughboy only 2 years ago? And now apparently his role in life is fetching Donald Trump his hamburgers.
