Uh...Myrtle Beach is in SOUTH Carolina. I mean even North Myrtle Beach is in South Carolina. What we have here is a case of transporting sand statues across state lines for blatant advertising purposes.

Dave, if you're at a roach motel again you might want to move to nursecindy's house. You like dogs, right?

Myrtle Beach is recognized as the Hillbilly Riviera and I would know. They should have had the convention there as it has even more strip clubs per capita than Tampa. So I've been told.

Vermin Supreme had a nice write-up on CNN.com for stepping in between the anarchists, the police and the Westboro Baptist contingents. Getting someone to warble "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" to mellow everyone out seems like the kind of genius that we need.

That is the scariest sculpture I have ever seen. Looks possessed.

THE EYES! OH GOD! THE EYES!

There are a couple of us lady bloglits in this area that would love to show Dave around as long as he doesn't charge us too much. There was an unfortunate incident with the sand sculpture yesterday. We're getting remnants of Isaac right now and part of Obama's arm was washed away after a particularly heavy rain storm.

Vermin Supreme: When I'm President Everyone Gets A Free Pony.
He's got my vote!
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | September 04, 2012 at 09:38 AM
Jeff,
What if I don't have any place to keep a pony? Can I turn it into pony burgers?

The Sand Obama is right at home in Charlotte, which is also home of the World's Worst Martin Luther King, Jr. Statue.

Can't wait to see if Biden can out-"Huh?" Eastwood. Gonna be epic. I think Biden should come out balancing a dog in a travel carrier on top of his head.
Posted by: padraig | September 04, 2012 at 10:04 AM
No, no, pad. He needs to do something different from his usual in order to make an impression.

*SMACKS* wiredog.
This is the statue Rusty is talking about. I agree. It's pretty bad.

a remarkable resemblance: http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb58378/starwars/images/7/7f/Jabba_SWSB.png

Looks more like Joe Biden than MLK.
I heard Joe is going to rip his shirt off and do a few pushups.
At least I hope he will...
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | September 04, 2012 at 10:23 AM
Bill - need to try that again. I got "Image Not Found."
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | September 04, 2012 at 10:24 AM
Does he have a lemon wedge in his mouth?
Posted by: Layzeeboy | September 04, 2012 at 10:56 AM
Looks more like Al Jolson than MLK, Jeff.
I was going to post something about "President Ozymandias", but that thing is just plain embarrassing. Gawd.
Posted by: Spiny Norman | September 04, 2012 at 10:58 AM
It is seriously creepy.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | September 04, 2012 at 11:00 AM
Looks like they repurposed an old Lewis and/or Clark statue. "He's not pointing towards the source of the Mississippi, he's pointing towards, um, racial harmony."
Posted by: padraig | September 04, 2012 at 11:15 AM
padraig: hahahahaha

It's fairly well-accepted that a candidate's worst nightmares are created by his/her supporters. One requirement of political life is the ability to suppress cringes and mortification amid constituent-created hoopla.
I envy neither major candidate at this point.
Posted by: Betsy | September 04, 2012 at 11:19 AM
um
isn't he a little pail?
Posted by: ligirl | September 04, 2012 at 12:28 PM
creepy

I've seen silicon put to better use.

Bill's link. Worked for me...

Dave: I figured out a way you can myabe tell whether you're in South or North Kakkilakky: look at the license plates. If most of them have a sort of a palm tree, you're prolly in South Whatsit; if most of them have an old airplane, prolly in North Whatsit.
Posted by: Dmentd | September 04, 2012 at 02:49 PM
I was in South Whatsit earlier today, and I didn't see you, so you're probably in North Whatsit.
Posted by: Dmentd | September 04, 2012 at 02:51 PM
Cindy, is MLK Heiling Hitler? Your city has major problems.
Posted by: Elon | September 04, 2012 at 03:57 PM
Dmentd, could you help us identify West & South Vargina next?
Posted by: padraig | September 04, 2012 at 04:16 PM
I've never seen the statue in person Elon but I've heard it's very unusual. I forgot to say this earlier. Welcome to North Carolina Dave! We're happy to have you here with us. Don't forget to try the bbq at Sonny's on Tyvola Rd. It's wonderful.
Posted by: nursecindy | September 04, 2012 at 04:16 PM
I would really hate to see what I would look like as a sand statue.
Posted by: Mad Librarian | September 04, 2012 at 06:03 PM
Not gonna fall for that one, Pad. Nice try though. Don't ask me, ask your wife.
Posted by: Dmentd | September 04, 2012 at 07:02 PM
Wait a minute, you mean Alfred E. Neuman is our president?
Well that explains everything.
