Subliminality

CNN is running this story on Colin Powell endorsing Obama.

I think it's remarkable and says a lot that one of the country's most respected Republicans is coming out three weeks before a presidential election to endorse the Democratic candidate. On the other hand, I doubt it will sway a lot of votes. The kind of person who I think is most likely to be impressed by a gesture like this - nerdy political wonks like me - is the kind of person who probably has already made up their mind.

That being said, the photo CNN came up with for the article is priceless.

  2. Hey, Roy! Welcome to the Umlaut!

    I was actually thinking that he looks like he's flipping the bird, but imagining Colin Powell as a gangsta rappa is equally awesome.
