Mr. Turkey: "Eat ham, please!" (FotW 3)

To belatedly celebrate Thanksgiving, that oh so American holiday, here's a funny and edible creation by cakebreak: "Mr. Turkey is pleading for his life. I saw one of these on Flickr and I thought it was too funny. This was for the Thanksgiving PotLuck lunch at work. On my way to work, I realized I forgot to make his tail..."

Paulson, Prince of Darkness?

According to the Kansas City Star in Missouri (11-12-08), "Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson provided an update Wednesday on the largest bailout in U.S. history." So far so good. Check out however what picture of Mr. Paulson they put with the article:



Paulson, Prince of Darkness? Or Paulson, Devil in Disguise—just add the burning hot eyes? No matter, stop putting cartoonists out of business, you Missouran too-clever-by-half journalists! ;-)

George W. Bush in pictures

This Daily Telegraph (UK) photo presentation is too good to be missed: George W. Bush in pictures. "America will soon have a new president, but before George W Bush leaves office, let's take a look back at some of our favourite moments from his presidency. We'll miss the facial expressions..."

Yes, We Did!

After a long, hard-fought campaign, Barack Obama was elected US president yesterday. I was in tears watching him give his victory speech. Eight years of the Bush nightmare are almost behind us. Now all Americans and citizens of the world need to work constructively together to decisively confront the many global problems threatening us: financial crisis, global warming, underdevelopment, war. I bring you a selection of Creative Commons-licensed photos from all over the world of the celebrations.
