Keep your lens to yourself

So, here's something people should know: if, for some ungodly reason, you want to take my picture, ask first. If I know you, I'm likely to agree. If I don't know you, I'm far less likely to agree without a compelling argument from your side. DO NOT simply run up to me, point a camera in my direction and quickly snap a photo, like some jagoff clad only in his underwear did to me at the club tonight!

Are we clear on this? Good.

The New Yorker is going to get some hate mail

Behold! The New Yorker magazine cover for July 21^st, 2008:

Something tells me that neither Obama himself nor his supporters are going to look too kindly on this. Me, being the sick bastard that I am, find it funny as hell. This is way too over the top - they can't be serious!

The article about Obama's early political career is far more sobering. It reaffirms what I already knew about his political opportunism and arrogant sense of entitlement. For those with the stomach to have the details filled in, this is an eye-widening read. My stance that a vote for Barack Obama is a grave mistake remains unchanged.
