photo blog or mideast politics blog? YOU decide
Because I can't.
My cousin and friend Kirby (short, red-haired one, second from right) has been in Diplomatic Security for the State Department since I was 13 or 14, and it's always been an interesting conflict for me. On the one hand, the work he does is good, and, more importantly, badass. Seriously, take a good, long look at that man; he is the coolest my semi-immediate family will ever, ever get.
On the other hand, it's his job, primarily, to guard the people who I feel strongly are ruining my country. Look at Ms. Rice, standing there in the middle. Is she REALLY the best we can do? Really?
I don't believe it. Not for a minute.
I actually hadn't seen Kirby in a long time until last Thanksgiving (he was stationed in Beirut, and I don't get around to checking Beirut out all that often), when, due to our newly tight geography, he drove me down to Turkey Day festivities in West VA at his folks' house. We mostly talked about drinking and how fucked up our family is, truthfully; and when we did talk about Middle East stuff, I made sure not to get into the political side, which might have been a mistake, as Kirby is one of my few Republican relatives. Next time I see him, the strategy might be a little different.
Anyway, get a load of the guy on the far right, next to Kirby. Asshole, or has-a-cramp-in-asshole? Vote in the comments.

That man looks like he is in pain
I'm just voting because you told me to. I say stick up the ass. Which he shouldn't have, cause his camo is way better than my countries camo.
Hemroids. That, or he's passing a stone.
