CIP: that is easy! The new name will be “Exterminated”. (I can’t even type that without thinking of Daliks!) Give us time…or should I say, give him some more time and people of California will learn more.

And, you are right about the second photo. If only we lived in a democracy where dissenting voices were recognized.

You’re right about the lower picture CIP. He does look llike someone who thinks he’s entitled to power and is bitter about the semblance of democracy with which he is forced to deal.

zelah – Are you not supposed to wait for the verdict of a jury?

In his case, I think it’s imperative that Congress act without Delay.

Heard one on the radio today:

Q: What’s a new nickname for The Hammer?

A: Nailed!

Now I thought the upper picture had a little bit of the defiant pride of the wolf at bay, while the lower one reminded me of the glowering emperor, sending Democrats to the lions.

Mark: LOL

Zelah: Um, I think it’s perfectly okay to have an opinion of a person – doesn’t go toward guilt or innocence, it’s YOUR personal opinion. The comments were about a perception from a picture, not who the person was or what he’s ‘allegedly’ done wrong – besides the fact he is as guilty as sin.

As for Nixon, to be TRULY fair, I defy you to actually find a flattering picture of him. It just doesn’t exist.

In all fairness to the press though, in the interests of balance they have airbrushed out his horns.

I first noticed this when I had to do a school report on the Watergate scandal. It was fairly obvious, even to my young mind, that the press was systematically publishing only the most unflattering pictures of Richard Nixon.
