I miss Bill Clinton's staged photo op at Normandy. That looks real good now, doesn't it?

But wait. That was, er staged. This magazine is just mendacious, like Reuters.

Thanks, Nat! A Big Smile!

I recall when The Economist was a center-to-right business and politics magazine. It seemed aimed at the successful management and wannabe business-starters both. I aspired to affording a subscription, selectively grabbing a copy now and again from an airport newsstand.

I started 15 or 20 years ago with reading the WSJ religiously, then subscribing and shortly subscribed to Forbes as well. I've found I've needed nothing more.

The Economist has consigned itself to the same pile of irrelevant magazines as Business Week, Fortune and Money. Good riddance.

Oh, Shepherd, you're leaving some mags out. Time, Newsweek, and of course the dinosaur media entirely.

I agree completely. What I thought I wrote (in haste) was "...irrelevent BUSINESS magazines..." I need to read my stuff a couple of times. Several things are getting in the way: failing eyesight, excessive exhaustion and total anger.

I subscribe to and read: American Spectator, National Review, Forbes, Human Events, Forbes, The WSJ and the Dallas Mourning Snooze fishwrap. I also do several oil business journals and a bunch of hobby/special interest magazines. (The mailman/woman hates me.) I would lose my headbag if I listed all of those. It is amazing how little time I have to read when there is so much to read...speaking of which, it is time to read myself to sleep. I think I am farthest behind on my stack of oil and gas mags.

No matter what everyone make take from these photos, I still say the President is not sitting very pretty in a sand trap with a large water hazard to naviagate. Off in the distance I see a ...Slick Willey. The President reaches into his bag of trick and pulls out his favorite club. It is the tried and true wedgy.

OK, oil spill issues aside, that is one SCHWEET photoshop. Obowma just got a (sand)wedgie.
