Amina and I went to Pittsburgh to see a Pirates game in early September, 2001. We stayed at (and I mean this literally) the gayest bed and breakfast in all of Pennsylvania, somewhere in the Mexican War Streets neighborhood. The Bucs game on Saturday night was Roberto Clemente bobblehead night, and I managed to get three bobbleheads. I never opened them, thinking that I'd someday be able to retire after selling them on eBay -- which, incidentally, I'm just about to do.
The selling on eBay part, not the retiring part. Though the auction hasn't started yet, so who knows?
Anyway ... as I opened one up today for the eBay/craigslist photo shoot, the face really amazed me -- it looks an awful lot like Barack H. Obama. Doesn't it? If you can look past the bad white point (I shot them all in jpg, which I don't usually do), you get the idea of what Obama would look like if he had been a baseball player from the 1960s.
Si, se puede indeed.

So you're saying all black people look the same in bobble head form?
No, I'm saying that all Barack Obamas look like bobbleheads.
