I may have altered the President's, and the Vice-President's heads slightly, but the smugness of their expressions was clearly visible in the original.

Obviously, I just rotated the picture, the flag was fine back when I shot it the day before Independence Day, last year.

Seems rotating that image 180 degrees is a good way to illustrate today, Dependence Day.

For those who don't follow basketball, here's a YouTube clip of Shaq's original rap


And, to be fair to Pete Souza, he wasn't completely fixated on the President's ass in his original photo (below). Just shows you the power of cropping (which is mentioned in this Gizmodo post, as well).

Enjoy your weekend, even as President Obama and Speaker Pelosi do everything in their power to screw it up.

For those too lazy to blow-up and flip the photo to see what the President's Weekend Agenda is, here it is:

1. Convince fellow Democrats to leap off the HCR cliff with me
2. Decry insurance companies while at the same time giving them a huge windfall by mandating health coverage
3. Invoke Karl Rove, that's always a good way to sell a Democratic proposal...
4. Bracket's already busted (damn you G'town!), screw up everyone else's NCAA Tourney viewing plans
5. Sanctimoniously lecture fellow Dems, ignore the GOP, and definitely ignore tens of thousands of citizens protesting our reform efforts.
Someone is getting screwed this weekend, either Obama/Pelosi are going to look like ineffectual lefties and screw up their self-perception, legacy, and support on the left, or they get things passed, and they're going to institute a massively unfair, mostly unpopular, and inevitably mismanaged and far more costly direction in health coverage, screwing Americans and our economy for years to come.

Turns out, all Nancy needed for her "Demon Pass" was horns. Seems she had the soulessness, generalized contempt for humanity, and crazed fixed stare already covered.

We are so screwed if she gets her way this weekend...

Getty Center, Midas, by Jean-Joseph Carriès, looking a bit forlorn.

(didn't get out and about as planned, watched the Madness, instead)

(Marathon, Sunday, will capture some of that, hopefully)

Obama, still a bit green...

From close to a month ago, I'll get out there and do something somewhere tomorrow, with camera in hand, don't know where, yet, but it will be outside the borders of Santa Monica.

What am I saying here?

That Obama is recycling his campaign speeches and pretending that's a smart way to govern?

That it's time to recycle DC, and throw all the bums out?

That I'm learning how to play with layers, and went a bit overboard?

Almost forgot to link a post elsewhere about the NYT photo that this is a play on. Two weeks from now, no one will remember that stupid cross photo, so I'll post a copy below, and a link to the article that was illustrated by it (and is often the case, if something ends up being controversial, it disappears down the memory hole, the article no longer has a photo connected to it at NYT website)

LOL Obama, Daily Ides of March 2010

20100315


President Obama is no Julius Caesar, and our Senate isn't the Ancient Roman Senate, but seems like a reasonable precaution to be wary during the Ides of March, anyway.

(and even though I am critical of his administration, I'd hate to see the craziness unleashed upon the land should anything happen to the President, so stay healthy, dude!)

In the 2,054 since the mess at the Roman Senate, seems that the art of backstabbing (and front or side stabbing) has gone from literal to figurative, which is probably a good thing, I guess.
