Betsy Devine has some funny & scathing commentary on George Bush’s famous flight-suit photo-op. I have to admit that I missed most of this, pictorially speaking, but the picture on her site …fills in the gap. It’s too bad that Rowan Atkinson’s Russian codpiece (”it scares the clergy”) moment in Black Adder isn’t available as a clip on the internet — it would make such a great counter-point.

On the subject of where Iraqi women are in that country’s reconstruction, go to this Christian Science Monitor article by Laura Liswood, Find a role for women in rebuilding Iraq. (See also my May 6 blog entry for link to Michele Landsberg’s article, Iraqi women are conspicuous by their absence, and the AlterNet story, Female Fedayeen.)
