an adult male - who also happens to be the President - chooses not to wear a helmet while leisure-riding a bicycle and THAT'S NEWS AND DEBATE? seriously?

i am choosing to ignore the fact that this is what the LA Times put in their political column. their political column. *head desk*

It's so amazing that the First Lady has legs, the President rides helmetless - gee, it's not as if there's anything else going on in the whole wide world worth talking about.

He should just take his shirt off again. No debate needed about that!

[somedaybitch.livejournal.com]

sorry, no. no, he really shouldn't.

But at least then it would just be photos and not pointless analysis taking up space on the politics page to annoy us, is my point. ;)

[somedaybitch.livejournal.com]

oh no....it would then be really, hugely WRONG debate about him vs Putin, shirtless.

*sigh*

You're probably right. *facepalm*

some paper did it already, though i don't believe it was the LAT. it was clearly a metaphor for the crass male conversation that they all wish they could have, which, imho, is so not how people should be discussing world leaders.

I saw a couple of pics on that... and he DOES wear a helmet when going on a street, just not on the trail. seems to me he made a decision based on risk, and probability...

oooh, perish the thought that a decision was made.

certainly not an individual one. that's so...so....burgeois.
