Welcome to Popular Content! Today's post: Guess the Presidential Torso...

Why? 

To take our minds off the fact that soon Lincoln's portrait in the Oval Office might be replaced with a stuffed moose head. With Geriatric John McCain's soap-opera-fun VP pick Sarah ‘Barracuda' Palin, a Christian fundamentalist caribou-killer could be co-running the nation.

And with all her dang kids having kids, Ms. Palin is the trashy mama Brittany Spears of high stakes politics. The flabbergasting conclusion here is that this messy yet relatable way of life, that resides in the heart of America, or, a Chicken McNugget somewhere in Kansas, just might land the scary ragamuffin McGunLoving duo in the White House.

Oh well.

We had a cocaine-addicted born-again alcoholic cake-batter brained dooda running the nation for the last eight years. Maybe we are just permanently dumb. Can Obama save us from being so very American?

But onto more urgent seasonal matters!

What's of paramount importance right now is that summer is winding down. And this means that all men must put their shirts back on.

In this spirit of semi-nudity and presidential politics, let's take a look at that banner of power and manliness: the chest.

The chest is the expanse that sits broadly under the Superman logo. And since, in the full frontal sense, male nudity in toto is an aesthetically gnarly sight, we shall focus from the waist up.

But is the sexy perfection of this feature necessary for running a free nation, an outdated monarchy, a human rights-violating totalitarian regime?

Who gives a crap. Let's look at some flesh.

But first, before you get all up in arms about this being an imperialist-leaning quiz, in the use of Uncle Sam to obscure some international faces, I ask you this: Would your rather be an old granny in a detention camp doing hard labor for the act of filing a complaint about your home being torn down by the Chinese government to make way for the Beijing Olympics? Or would you rather be sitting on your freedom-loving ass in your underpants sipping a mocha frap doing something entirely dumb like take a quiz featuring topless presidents?

Know up front that a few of these world leaders just might be dead, in training, not so buff, or surprisingly so. Maybe they aren't world presidents but the blood as such runs through their veins.

And if you emerge as a pectoral genius, know that we offer no free tote bag to the winners. We're out of those.

So just leave your politically fatigued brain in a jar to rest and prepare to shamelessly waste a minute or two on a lustful gander, and scroll away.

TIME TO PLAY: GUESS THE PRESIDENTIAL TORSO!

OK, this guy's not a world leader in the technical sense. CLUE: But as a closet-right winger, he donated $2,100 to the Republican Party...

SILLY BONUS SECTION!

No, not a president. Guess the name of the man chest model and designer of this aluminum foil cone head skirt thing. WINNER gets a trip to Mars in 2067 by when the Japanese plan to have built the first luxury hotel there...
