This blog will focus on political images I have found all around the Internet, though I will intersperse some commentary and quotes that I find interesting.

Here's some more tasteless pandering to note: I live in a town with a heavy military presence (mostly Air Force x3 bases and Army x1-expanding base). All over town, businesses have 'Welcome Home, Troops' signs...in a town where every 6 months, troops (including active, reserves, and guard troops from all over the country) are shipped out to Iraq and Afghanistan. These signs have been up for years. I believe very few people have noted the irony. Our economy here is going to crap and it's mostly because when troops are deployed, their families move away. Thus, local businesses are losing money big time. Yet, they still keep those banners up in front of their stores, as if hoping that troops, just returned home, will see those banners and help them make up for lost business. Personally, as a military spouse, their pandering annoys me, so I avoid companies who "brag" about how much they support the troops. I'd be more inclined to shop at stores who said they gave X-amount of dollars to XYZ anti-war candidate.
