Just for (All the President's) Men

Have you realized the toll the presidency takes on it's occupants? It's like time travels exponentially faster in the White House or something.

Lincoln was a 35:1 Underdog

You'd never think a $400,000 a year job would be so strenuous. Free rides in limousines, your own private jet...what could be so hard about this job? Sure, it's the ultimate managerial position but it's just a simple promotion from Senator or Governor.

Judging by the before and after photos from former President Bush, somebody either forgot to use their Just for Men, or the presidency actual is a strenuous job.


I just got back from Penn Station. My sandwich was THIS BIG!
Now where did I leave that damn remote...

Even looking at 2008 photos of President Obama against 2011 photos you see a quickly aging man.

I haven't blinked in two weeks.
I can't remember which door I left unlocked. Hey, Michelle...

If you remember, I wrote a post a couple weeks ago about hair. Somehow this has also turned into a post about hair. Or, more specifically, how quickly a president's hair turns gray once he is in office.

I think the presidents look too professional anyway. Yes, you want a professional president but why not have one that's looks a little crazy too.

Take Thomas Jefferson for instance. If you looked at him from the eyes down you wouldn't think anything of it. Once your peepers gaze upon his wonderful mop the story changes.

Business in the front, party in the back.

Better yet, check out the beautiful chops on Chester A. Arthur, our 21st president. Makes a man yearn for that much testosterone.

You think I look like what? A Walrus?

Finally, we have the best of both worlds. A top of the line, Bozo the Clown-esque hair style that flows right into sideburns that could melt the hearts of both men and women alike. I present our eighth president, Martin Van Buren.

I'm appalled that you would even think I use products.

Although it seems as if the presidency is certainly not the place to get your fashion sense from, we should at least feel a little pity for the men that run our country. Any job - besides being a father - that causes a man to go gray in the matter of a few years is rough.

Hey, at least if Donald Trump gets elected in 2012 we will have more supreme hair action to look forward to.

This is actually a wig. A 24 carat gold wig.

  1. Definitely one of my favorite posts yet in this class. You nailed the photo captions.
    I wrote an intense report on Martin Van Buren in 8th grade, but I had no idea the man looked so nutty...

  2. HAHAHAHAHA I love it.

    Also, Martin Van Buren in full photo form showed up in my Satire class last year. I'll have to show you the picture and accompanying entry sometime. Good stuff.
