Dear Leader

I have to admit that it looks mighty photoshoped to me but, what the hell? Good clean fun, right? Apparently this sign is gracing Interstate 4 in Orlando. For whatever it’s worth, the picture itself is from the Democratic Underground Forums, and Raw Story says it’s legit.
Anyway, it made me think of that Hunter S. Thompson quote, from Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail ‘72, that was floating around a few weeks ago:
“This may be the year when we finally come face to face with ourselves; finally just lay back and say it — that we are really just a nation of 220 million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns, and no qualms at all about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable.”
Again, I don’t buy the picture’s legitimacy, but we live in a world and a country where it’s not unfathomable. If you ask me, that’s the part that’s downright fucked.
