God Bless Israel (And The Holy Land Junket)
I know this is snarky, but I got a laugh out of this WH shot of Bush (with Olmert and Peres) on the ground in Israel.

Between The Mushroom Cloud And WWIII
It was interesting watching George Bush's NIE press conference all the way through. What the reporters were repeatedly trying to get at was something Bush continually preaches but utterly fails to live by, which is that: actions have consequence -- particularly in terms of one's credibility.

The Compassionate Bean Counter
With Iraq appropriately finessed, GWB has been busy covering his flank on the economy. (If you hadn't noticed, the phrase "go shopping" has finally been replaced in Junior's cue card stack by the term "give back.")

Put Your Hand In The Hand Of The Man Who Stirred The Water
As obsessive as I am about sourcing and crediting, I honestly cannot remember where this portrait of Bush and Sheehan came from or even when I found it.

Bush and Mush
This photo of Bush and his "special friend" -- taken during "Mush's" visit to the U.S. in September a year ago -- seems to give entry to a number of points.

Bush/San Antonio 2: Looking Elsewhere … Or From Behind
I wanted to follow up on Bush's visit this week to the completely privately-funded Center for the Intrepid rehabilitation facility, confusingly located at the Brooke Army Hospital in San Antonio.

Your Turn: Things Looking Up In San Antonio
I’ve been to Walter Reed a few of times since 2003; a couple in uniform and once as a civilian. From that experience, I know the questions I have for these soldiers about their situation pre- and post-injury are pretty much unanswerable. Talking to them is hard because of...

The Islamabad Rockettes
What is tremendously disturbing, and shamefully unacceptable, is the disconnect (like it's something new) between the "testimony" these Pakistani photos represent and the not-so-hidden evidence of Administration acquiescence regarding martial law.

Bush And The Comfort Culture
In Bush's "comfort culture," the aim is to make people feel better erasing any need or imperative -- in the face of true complexity and pain -- to make the situation itself any better.

Cheney/Bush
How about, a timely reminder about who is really running the show -- what with Cheney spearheading the "Bomb Iran" campaign. Reuters telegraphs the point in the second line of the photo caption. President Bush left the Oval Office early this morning on his way to Southern California to view...

Getting Pinked
This shot -- documenting Laura Bush's (drum roll please!) Breast Cancer Tour of the Middle East -- was featured in yesterday's NYT main slide show. The image -- featuring Mrs. Bush's sit down at the Sheikh Khalifa Medical Center in Dubai -- is a classic piece of Rovian cotton...

No Banner Left Behind
With all the skirmishing going on around the Bush's veto of the SCHIP legislation, the Decider's photo op in the Bronx two weeks ago seems to loom ever larger. Yes, it's hypocricy, but it is such a an accomplished piece of hypocricy.

The general Petraeus post-game state of mind
Out of all the images of this weekend's anti-war protest, I was trying to figure out why this two shot sequence stood out most for me. From the WAPO and NYT accounts, it sounded like the demonstration was not just bigger than expected, but much more contentious than previous.
