(PHOTOS) Cardiff Kook Goes Osama

by the Left Coast Rebel

Usually they're anonymous and veiled in the secrecy and twilight darkness of pre-dawn hours. They come, they clothe the Kook, and it's not until 6 A.M. or so that we know just what shape he will take.

Christmas Santa, paper-mache shark-food guy, hippie-surfer dude, sombrero-donning Mexican, Royal Wedding, New Ager, anti-surveillance, civil libertarian... the many alter egos that the Cardiff Kook assumes goes on and on.

Hand crafted by Encinitas surfer and teacher, Matthew Antichevich, the 16-foot-tall "Cardiff Kook" bronze statue has been a constant source of San Diego amusement.

No one really knows just where the Kook will go, case in point yesterday -- Osama bin Cardiff Kook:

Local lefties are outraged that the Cardiff Kook took on the Osama look, donning a beard, well-placed bullet head wound, signature AK-47 and Muslim garb -- on Mother's Day, no less!

It never ceases to amaze me how far in the depths of absurdity that liberals wallow in terminally misplaced sympathy. Laugh along, guys, it's good for the heart. And yes, it's a good thing to find humor in Osama's death. We deserve a good laugh at his fish-food-status expense.

  2. I read somewhere that they think OBL was taking some kind of organic Viagra because he had erectile dysfunction. Something tells me he's not having any problem keeping 'stiff' now.

  3. That's good, because I read somewhere else that he finally got his 72 urchins.

  5. i believe that you all have missed the "artist's" point. He is trying to celebrate America's victory and celebration in one of this nation's most glorious victories. Our cherrished troops are victorious in taking out our most nafarious terrorists in American history. I know the "Artist" personally...and that was what his point was. And by the way...HE IS A LIBERAL!!!!!!! This is a celebration and announcment of victory. The fact that it fell on Mother's Day was npot out of disrespect, but more from the exercise of it. There are countless mothers who have lost their husbands, sons and grandsons in this sensless war...waged by the man you see advertised thru the Kooks presense. It is more testament to that than anything else. Come on people...stop making an argument when there is none. Bravo and Long Live AMERICA!!!!!!

  6. I don't know that anyone here missed the artist's point. Sounds like the "local lefties" described might have.

    Depicting a surfer as Santa or bin Laden is not exactly a heavy message. I think LCR was just telling the uptight to lighten up about it.
