Biotron: Zelig is precisely the name I have for this picture on my computer. I changed it at the last moment when posting, figuring that most people would not know the reference. I should make a Zelig Set of photos….
StarrGazr: Why no wedgie? I think I was spooked by the moment and the armada of photographers and flashes going off. I think I’d still be in jail today if I tried a stunt like that. But some "bunny ear" fingers behind his head might have snuck by…. If only I had planned ahead a little bit more…. As for the tie, you can see it here
strzelecki1: Was "strzelecki" already taken???
What was it like? Somewhat surreal. After gathering in the West Wing, we had a half hour with Bush in the Oval Office. It was a small group of 10 other people, including the key Senator behind the bill, and heads of DOE & PCAST, and the Nobel Laureate who discovered buckyballs… I was clearly the odd man out!
We got to talk about the nano bill, and Bush showed us his Texas paintings, the desk Kennedy crawled through, and new appointments around the office. The central rug was designed by Laura Bush, with the American Eagle facing the olive branch of peace and away from the arrows of war. Noted without comment.
When asked about the classic painting of George Washington facing his desk, he blurted "Well, that’s the original George W!"

Okay, why does everyone look like they’re made of cardboard except for YOU! Ha! George looks like you could draw a curly mustache and bushy eyebrows on him and punch him a few times and he wouldn’t flinch. Breathe some life into these blokes! I know, buy them some STC ties!
