Your Turn: What About Anya?

So, what's going on?  What would possibly cause a crack down backlash examination into the drugging of America?

If It’s (Electoral) Curtains For Pro-Life, You Could Have Showed Me!

Truly an interesting pic to accompany one of the momentous political developments in years.  I'm convinced that the consequence of George Bush's stubborn adherence to a failed Iraq policy is the devastation to the formerly morality-owningChristian super-far right constiuency....

Legacy Shot

Oh, there are so many interesting images of Tony Blair on the newswire today, now that Blair has officially set into place his new role as "former Prime Minister."

Cheney In Baghdad: The Progress Of No Progress

I'm curious about John Burns' report last evening on the Dick Cheney Baghdad trip (#1) as compared to his follow-up piece this morning (#2).  As well, I was interested in the headline change made early this morning to the original report (#3).  I'm interested in all this, by the...

Iwo Jima, Kansas

This color shot -- photographed yesterday in Greensburg, Kansas -- is one of the more editorially-deceptive newswire photos I've seen in a while.  In the photo, Kansas National Guardsman and postal workers raise an American flag over a U.S. Post Office destroyed by Friday's killer tornado.

In Reality, Condi Gives Herself The Finger

The image of Rice facing the video, and her own words, marks a turning point in the death of this Administration.  The pathetic, if unique opportunity, is that, after years of lying to our faces, we get to observe them witnessing it as well.

"Together, Anything Is Possible!" (Add: No Eyes, No Mouth, Horns, Tail, Twirling Mustache)

I'm feeling a little sorry this morning I didn't give any coverage to the French presidential election, especially in light of The BAG's interest in election posters.  I really appreciated this election day image leading off this morning's NYT on-line edition.  Considering Sarkozy, its a shame we seem about...

The Queen Honors Our History … And Other Colorful Subjects

Studying the first wave of images from the British invasion, what jumps out is the Queen's effort to put a more "multicultural" spin on her visit (as is the theme in this Jamestown anniversary year).  Specifically, I was interested in the visual interplay between newswire shots of the Queen...

Your Turn: The Columbine Reflex

In the aftermath of the Virginia Tech massacre, this image -- from a promotional site for photographer Kyle Cassidy's upcoming book, ARMED AMERICA: Portraits of Gun Owners in their Homes -- started making the rounds.  And -- shades of Cho Seung-Hui or Dylan Klebold -- it's not hard to...

Prince Harry Of Mesopotamia

And ta-da!  It's official.  After agonizing for weeks over whether tank commander Prince Harry should be allowed to serve as a  high-asset celebrity promotional vehicle (and prime IED target) soldier in Iraq, the military brass gives thumbs up!

Power Of The Pen

I was interested in the "photo dialogue" in this morning's NYT report on the Iraq spending battle.  Leading the article is a close-up shot of Bush at a White House podium, the Jefferson Memorial in the distance, promising to veto the Democrat's war appropriations/withdrawal-timetable.  In response, in the side...
