I have borrowed the spirit of today's post from the fine folks at Gotta Get Drunk First. Check out the truly inspirational pictures on their right-hand sidebar. However, in place of images, we're going to use text.

POST TURTLE

While suturing up a cut on the hand of a rancher whose hand had been caught in the gate while working his cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama, and his being our president.

The rancher said, "Well, ya know, Obama is just a Post Turtle."

Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked, "What's a Post Turtle?"

The rancher said, "When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post turtle."

The rancher saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain.

"You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, he sure as heck ain't goin' anywhere, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put him up there in the first place."
