Sk8 The White House
It’s a little hard to tell, but the photo above is of Tony Hawk (the god of skateboarders and slackers alike).
Skating through the White House.
He was there for a Fathers Day event with a host of other famous dads. Sure, Hawk can do amazing things on a skateboard and he was obviously going to want to do something like this (at least Obama didn’t invite Steve-O), but it’s pretty sad and pathetic all the same.
Look at the change that has arrived! Skateboarding is now allowed in the White House! Because President Redistribute is cool, kids!
And we’re another step closer to Ludacris’ exhortation to “paint the White House black“…
(I’m betting that not many of you can stomach that entire track, so, for your information, it’s other lyrical masterpieces include “McCain don’t belong in any chair unless he’s paralyzed” and, this one never gets old, “I said it because Bush is mentally handicapped.”)

Well, doesn’t this just figure?
Whatever happened to decorum and respect for the People’s House?
Oh, never mind. “The One” has arrived. **snerk**

I don’t let skateboards in MY house (it’s blue BTW). I am disgusted that one was allowed in the White House. And quite honestly, it shows a lack of decorum on the part of Tony Hawk as well. But then again, the man plays with a skate board for a living.

*sigh* if only I too could be paid millions of redistributable dollars to play with a child’s toy all day….
