  • Swine before pearlies?

  • My question was,

    "but where's the poke."

  • Is it just the camera angle, or has Fred Thompson lost some weight? He looks a bit deflated compared to news photos of a few weeks ago.

  • I was thinking the same thing local insurgent was. Maybe he's waiting to officially announce his candidacy until he hits that target weight.

  • Local, I think maybe. I've got a different shot from Iowa for later in the week that may give a better idea.

    He does look alot older to me, though.

  • He looks like a walking skeleton.

    The pictures pretty atypical swine behavior. Usually you have to keep the Boars away from the piglets cause they rip'em to shreds.

  • Strangely, the thinning makes him look "less substantial" and weaker.
