Photo of the Week

It's nice to know there exists a few places in the land still today that are off limits to president Bush. One such place is in a small artist's colony about an hour's drive north of Santa Fe, New Mexico.

What makes places like this one special, besides their rarity, is the security one feels to openly speak his or her mind among friends without constantly surveying the room for the eavesdropping president.

These few remaining spots are reminiscent of the openness as a society the United States enjoyed just before the turn of this last century.

For as we were reminded by Bush just this past Thursday in answer to a reporter's question Bush was refusing to answer, "No matter how calm it may seem in America, an enemy lurks."

That's true. And over the past six and a half years, lucid American's have come to realize exactly who that enemy is. But you shouldn't mention his name carelessly out loud in public places. Unless, of course, you're in one of those rare spots where Bush can't go.

That's why I've chosen to make the picture outside this Café where the motto is, "Be patient. We serve you in time to save you serving time!" as my Photo of the Week.

Wonderful photo ... but ... hewhoshallnotbenamed has never admitted to alcoholism, has he? seems like the overiding theme for his whole adm. much like his lurking enemy clue, the elephant in the room is never directly addressed, except by those who will need to be served in time to avoid serving time. (ps, does this mean the Cafee Renato exists outside our current time?) ~~ D.K.

deke: In Frank's book, "Bush on the Couch", he says Bush said he didn't need to join a formal regime to exorcise his demons. That's because he found Jesus, thus eliminating the need for completing the 12 step program of Alcoholics Anonymous. This suited Bush perfectly, known as he is for never completing anything....

EXCEPT (Dammit!) an eight year presidency.
