The publishing company that owns the Curious George image says it is considering legal action to stop the sale of a T-shirt depicting Barack Obama as the monkey from children's books.

The T-shirts are being peddled by Marietta bar owner Mike Norman at his Mulligan's Bar and Grill in Cobb County. They show a picture of Curious Georgie peeling a banana, with the words "Obama '08" underneath.

And in response, black voter drives in Marietta gain steam. This stuff, both directly and indirectly, will not work.

Just between you and me, I hear that Barack fathered a black child.

All the real class will show up, then.

Scrapbooks of "Famous American Assholes", already bulging from the past 7 1/2 years, will further expand from generous additions of paper and paste.

The important question is, does anyone have a picture of Otis Brumby wearing this shirt?
