Painting: The Forgotten Man

From the McNaughton Fine Art Company:

All the Presidents of the past gather around a man sitting on a park bench.  That man, with his head bowed appears distraught and hopeless as he contemplates his future.  Some of the past Presidents try to console him and look in the direction of the modern Presidents as they exclaim, “What have you done?”  Many of these modern Presidents behind Barack Obama seem to congratulate each other on their great success oblivious to the man on the bench.  In front of the man, paper trash is blowing in the dust.  Crumpled dollar bills, Amendments of the Bill of Rights and like a whisper – the U.S. Constitution beneath the foot of Barack Obama.

And he addresses the criticism.

I found it interesting that FDR was standing and clapping, not supported by crutches or in a wheel-chair.

Bag of Randomness

  • I’m reluctant to cheer for an athlete just because he or she is a Christian and I’m a Christian.  It might have something to do with hopping on a bandwagon, but I think it’s more than that.
  • I’m reluctant to cheer for an athlete just because he or she is Asian and I’m a half-Asian.  It might have something to do with hopping on a bandwagon, but I think it’s more than that.
  • I’m reluctant to cheer for an athlete just because he or she attended Harvard and I attended the Harvard of the South.  It might have something to do with hopping on a bandwagon, but I think it’s more than that.
  • Today is SonGeeding’s due date, and as of this posting, he ain’t here yet.
  • Josh Hamilton was a guest on yesterday’s Glenn Beck show, but Beck wasn’t there for some reason and had a guest host.  This was Hamilton’s first interview after his relapse.  He may have just lost my All Star vote.

  • It must be nice having the bathroom come to you.
  • The First Lady was spotted wearing a $40 dress from Target.
  • Apparently Kate Upton’s friends stage some sort of intervention telling he she was gaining too much weight.  If you’re a fan of the model and her dancing, here’s a website for you: KateUptonDancing.com
  • A nice picture of the queen and the prince when they were young and old.
