Bob Given that all the characters in this mini-drama are positioned so far to the right on the Southern political bench, they are barely hanging on to it. If they all drop off things could only improve. -- Regards, Savageduck |

In this regard, I vividly recall seeing a photograph in a magazine, especially made to illustrate the topic at hand. It showed then-President Bush Sr., with a naked girl sitting on his lap, and President Abraham Lincoln standing next to him with a hand on Pres. Bush's shoulder. Although obviously impossible to be real, there were no cut edges or color or texture changes to suggest cut-and-paste. It illustrates how phoney pix can be made to seem realistic, and hints at how they can be used maliciously. The old canard that pictures don't lie is now itself a lie. Let the viewer beware.
