So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I do agree--at least for 19th century portraiture and photography. With a few exceptions (Abraham Lincoln and Robert E. Lee both among them, as it happens), I rarely get a strong sense of personality off a 19th century photograph, while in a good portrait you can get it in spades.
I'm being pretty literal with my notion of representative. Personality, for me, doesn't even begin to get captured until photography allows for candids. The artist's impression of a person's personality doesn't feel like anything more than that to me, so what I'm looking for isn't personality, but a real sense of what Historic Person X looked like. Using Ada as my example, even the best portraits of her don't give me as much of a sense of what she looked like as the two photographs I've seen, one taken in her youth, and one closer to the end of her life, after illness and addiction had taken their toll.

He wants to fight the water there, so we don't have to fight it here.

On that TDS clip of Bush telling Brown he was doing a fiine job, is it just me, or was Bush was the only one on camera, including Brown, who came close to looking like they believed what Bush was saying?

From DailyKos:
This is a clear signal of the depravity of this administration, w[h]ere everything is political and nothing can be real. Nothing can be done simply because it's the right thing to do, or it's the best thing for America. There is a "real" America, and then there's Rove's America, where firemen serve the Republican Party and their leader, not people in distress. The Republican banner flies over the Stars and Stripes.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
When does this end? Will we be free of this horrific administration when Bush leaves office, or is this going to go on and on? Is this America now?
