Snapped Shot

Augh: This might not be as photoshopped as I thought.

Could it be that we've got a "creative" photographer out there, instead?

They don't call me Brian "Rush to Press" L. for nothing.

We need to get out of the war zone. We went in there under the wrong pretense. We are only killing our children. How many innocent civilians need to die?

The region is nothing but a war zone of death and destruction. The surge of enforcement has failed and our presence is only leading to and causing a civil war! If we were not there, the killers would not be there.

I quote the statistics:

Incidents log indicated that 123 people were shot and killed throughout the city between the start of Memorial Day weekend on May 26, and the end of Labor Day on Sept. 1.

In the same time period, an estimated 245 people were shot and wounded...

See, that area is just violent and we need to get out. That death rate is nearly twice that of even our most dangerous war zone.

You think I am talking about Iraq here? NOPE!!!

At least they provide us a map so that we can know where NOT to live.

I mentioned it briefly yesterday, and drew some private comparisons between this incident and what happened to Michelle Malkin a few years back. Unfortunately, I haven't had time to put it into Photoshop until now.

Thanks to a couple of minutes of spare time, I now present you this handy-dandy guide to identifying Republican women:



Oh noes! Michelle Malkin made this the subject of her column this week. I may be a bit late in putting this together, but hopefully it'll be useful to you nonetheless!

I didn't have time to put it together when this post was originally written, but now, thanks to a few spare minutes in Photoshop, I am proud to present you with:

A Field Guide to Identifying Republican Women

If any of you have seen the photograph of Sarah Palin in a bikini floating around, be aware that it's a total fabrication.

Details here. (h/t Jay@STACLU)

Update: Could all of these smears be an orchestrated effort by the Obama campaign? Jim H. over at Gateway Pundit lays out some convincing evidence about some of them, at least.

SNObama 2008: Start the smears!

Fox News Channel appears to be getting a little bit... testy with their captions in the photo series for Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin. (It's visible in this photostream here, but I can't find a way to link directly to the right page.)



(Thanks to Jon M. for the tip!)

While I'm on the subject of the Art Sciences Research Laboratory, I neglected to pass along earlier this month that they have been involved in a case regarding some strangely errant Google Earth imagery. In yet another testament to their excellent skills in the "Journalistic Arts," the group was in touch with Google immediately, and managed to discover that:

Google representative, Kate Hurowitz, in Global Communications & Public Affairs, told StinkyJournalism that they are concerned and investigating The Netherland’s photoshopped trees image. She said, “We're aware that there seems to be an anomaly in our imagery and are working to determine what happened.” She promised to let us know when they have “more information.”

It is curious to see that satellite imagery of a relatively innocent-looking golf course in the Netherlands appears to have been photoshopped. Usually, when Google imagery is disrupted, it is for reasons of national security. Of course, Google Earth just as often catches things just as interesting, but certainly the engineers there (and at the mapping agencies that provide them with their map and photographic data) don't go around altering maps for personal reasons.

I definitely look forward to hearing what explanation Google provides.

Buffing off my recently tarnished image, I present you with a much relevant and timely post regarding news of the day.


I promise.
