    Currently linked from Cryptome is this neat little photospread w/o any
    commentary(1). Note how the man on the left appears to be happy but is
    (at least slightly) scowling, while the boy on the right is smiling but
    doesn't appear too happy at all.

    Watching Bush on television, I think he has learned that scowling hides
    the smirk. If he scowls thru the whole speech, he can avoid ever
    smirking. (Of course, he can never match Nixon's jowl-quivering scowl).

    The boy's smile looks a little trepiditous, and possible interpretations
    include a) trying to suppress horrific pain, and/or b) trying to
    suppress horrific sadness.

    What might be fun is photoshopping in comix-like speech balloons, for
    example the boy might say 'Gee, I wish someone had given Bush a
    blowjob!'. This sort of ties in to a passage from Robert Anton Wilson's
    _Schrodingers Cat_ trilogy, where, in one universe, the US president is
    thusly serviced and decides not to blow up the world that day.

    Which of course leads directly to the Clenis(TM), source of all evil,
    which the republicans are possibly making insufficient use of (2).
