One of my cynical coffee buddies mentioned the other day that Obama's ears and wide grin reminded him of a frontal view of a beige 1950 Buick with both front doors open.

I think he's had a ear tuck.

He could do an 'in your face' response and have a tattoo parlor highlight them with studs. That would get him on as Dennis Kucinich's running mate.

Honestly, I didn't think his ears looked so big. Not nearly as big as Lyndon Johnson's Texas sized ears.

LBJ was the butt of one of my very first humorous 'photoshops'. Not long after the JFK assassination, the place where I worked was tasked with producing a number of 8 by 10 'official' portraits of the new President.

As the darkroom cat that made the prints, I made a few in which I had increased the enlargement a bit. I carefully X-acto knifed the big ears out and pasted them on a normal sized portrait. We had a process camera, so I made a new negative of LBJ with bigger ears.

I never found out what happened to those prints or the negative. My employers deliberately kept me in the dark.

Your ears are like petals, bicycle pedals...

I heard that people in Omaha have beards and stay in caves where they hide when the federal government drops bombs on them. Are people in Osama nice?
