Another Weird Obama Photograph on Yahoo

This one is even stranger than the last:

I understand why this picture was taken this way, but not why it published instead of being thrown out. Ok, so the emphasis is on the Marines and not on Obama, and that’s why they’re in focus and he’s all blurry. That makes sense as far as it goes, but then, why is he in the center of the picture? Even if the original photo turned out that way, why not crop it, at least to make it look good and match the caption? Weird.

Obama Picture

I assume this picture of Obama that I saw on Yahoo mail, from the AP, is also someone’s idea of a joke. Pictures of Presidents in front of the Presidential Seal are nothing new, but this one was lined up, well, “perfectly.”

The original AP story can be seen with a larger version of the picture.

Edit: Of course, when this happened to Bush, it was clearly a sign of evil conservatives run amok.</sarcasm>

Update: They updated the article with a picture from a different angle.

Ultimate Roast Beef Sandwich

The following “recipe” currently appears on cans of Dinty Moore Beef Stew. I assume it’s somebody’s idea of a joke:

….

Heat stew as package directs. Slice each roll horizontal in half. Spoon stew over bottom halves of each roll. Place tops over stew. Slice sandwich, if desired, and serve. Serves 1-2.
