Mesoamerican Bubba
OK. Couldn't let this one go by: While cruising the Museo Arte Prehispanico de Rufino Tamayo, a riveting collection of pre-Columbian artifacts collected by celebrated Oaxacan painter Rufino Tamayo, I happened upon this prehispanic figure with more than a slight resemblance to former President Bill Clinton. What's more, the figure appears to be holding something that looks like a cigar in its left hand.
In reality, it is a ceramic piece found in the Pacific coastal state of Nayarit and is estimated to have been made sometime between 1250 B.C. and 250 A.D. What's more, it is among a collection entitled "Mujeres Sentadas,'' or women sitting. In other words, the figure depicts a woman. They say turnabout is fair play. Perhaps this means Bubba got his just deserts in a former life.

Imagine that; it seems that Bill Clinton's genes have endured 1,000 years, mas o menos, with little alteration. The amazing thing is that we all don't resemble him.
