Yeah, yeah - I know. I said I was going to concentrate on photography and forget all about politics, but...

To me, this photo is a Rorschach blot, and a fairly obvious one at that. You have to admit that the white stuff looks like one of those old globes you used to be able to buy to adorn your desk. And the gaping hole in the middle looks like someone wearing some sort of floppy clown's hat. Admit it. So, pick your favourite political clown who's contributing in a big way to the end of the world.

Mine, of course, is George W. (for "Wassup, dude?") Bush. Terrorist recruiter supreme. Deluxe despoiler of the environment. Pinhead puppet. Warrior wannabe (now that his ass won't actually be on the line). Most incompetent world leader since...um...there's gotta be somebody...um... Nope! He's Numero Uno!

Lied about whatever he had to in order to take his country to war. Responsible for the deaths of hundreds of young Americans and tens of thousands of Iraqis. Ready, willing and able to illegally spy on his own citizens (and, for that matter, already has). Ready, willing and able to subvert the First Amendment and prosecute members of the press for exercising their rights.
Ready, willing and able to arrest hundreds of people without regard for their rights. Mouthpiece for piety. Leapin' lizards - don't get me started!

Good thing I'm going to spend a quiet day having fun with friends.
