Political cartoonist Mark Fiore wrote about the art show displaying George W. Bush’s original portraits of the “big important people” that he met while serving as president of the United States for two terms. Fiore said he couldn’t resist this story. He wrote: “He’s capturing emotion! He’s showing Putin’s personality! Look! He painted a cuddly duck for his grandchild! … He’s trying to paint his way to a nice cuddly legacy.”
Fiore contends that the former president should spend his time painting other things—such as the “victims of his reckless foreign policy…” Since Dubya chose not to paint them, Fiore thought he’d do it for him.

Excellent Elaine….. Yesterday I was listening to Kris Kristofferson music, an album I had not heard before was called Sandinista:
Sandinista, you can hold your head up high
You have given back their Freedom
You have lived up to your name
Sandinista, may your spirit never die
Hold the candle to the darkness
You’re the keeper of the flame
Sandinista, keep believing in the dream
The truth is stronger than the shadows
Keep it shining in your eyes
Sandinista, may the soldiers disappear
May your children live forever
May their laughter fill your lives
Sandinista, los fuerzas de la oscuridad
nunca pueden extinguir la puridad de tu llama revolutionara
con su terror y sus mentiras
con su dinero y sys maquinas
la libertad en tus ojus
el amor caliente en tu corozon
son fuerzas mas poderosas
que las armas de la guerra
Sandinista, you can hold your head up high
You have given back their Freedom
You have lived up to your name
Sandinista, may your spirit never die
Hold the candle to the darkness
You’re the keeper of the flame

And at the end he said something about Dick Cheney and George Bush being charged with war crimes.
