Smoker Obama
This is an obvious inconsequential. Mostly unreported I do believe because about every damn reporter I know – smokes. Not that I give two shakes ( of the lambs tail). A decent machination; face it I’ve been there and smoked for madness; smoked for joy; smoked as a pure inebriate; smoked for no reason; forced la madre to stop el smokoe; basically I have no smokers ground to stand on. Barack likes his smokes and it bothers me not. He’s a former Harvard professor – he gets it, the death decree and all, and he absorbs the consequence, a smart man it seems, let him hit the smokestacks, if he gets the bad C then he knows why, he’s a smart lad operating under the shallow decree of personal choice that still seems to laminate our notion of Constitution right?
just aside, I have dallied with every sense of how to effectively “draw” a great caricature in the editorial sense, and I’ll tell you that it’s a bitch and a half to nail a great representation, I’ve played with this for over 14 years and gotten most of them “right” for immediate exhibition, but the truest representation is not the best way to go in an editorial sense– an image from collective gestalt emerges as sufficient representation from the milieu as non-representational in replication but defiantly tangential in association as the essential mode of syncretic construction – as I give you now.

Obama smokes? As in a pack a day kind of smoking or as in Ah-nuld puffing a cigar every other day and saying a clever one-liner kind of smoking?
Not that it matters. In fact, it may be early, but if these kinds of issues, like the fact that he went to a public school in Indonesia once, are the worst the right-wing can dig up (and believe me, they dig deep), then he might be a candidate to contend with.
I thinks it’s a pack a day kinda thing, and yeah I actually heard about it as some sourpuss winger threw it into a discussion about Barack, and yeah it was all they had – and definitely was it amusing to hear said individual flailing for some kind of “substantial” muck. Ahhh the emerging ‘08 scene, and still waaaay off in the distance…...
I just read that he has quit smoking as of December of last year.
Better now than in the middle of the heavy 2008 campaign season.
