Sometimes an image stops you in your tracks. I just got my New Yorker in the mail a moment ago. I couldn't not post the cover in light of Bush's recent announcement of his intention to send more US troops into battle, and with all that's been discussed here politically. The cover is by the great Anita Kunz, who I imagine would have posted it if she were on Drawger, but whose name I couldn't find listed here.

Thank you, Anita, for creating a breathtaking image capturing what the country must be thinking right now.

Anybody have any thoughts? This is pretty rich...
