What the?

I don't know for any certainty what point or points the art gallery or the posters of this picture are trying to make, but I have two comments: 1) Trump may well want to purchase the painting of him and some baby that never existed (and looks like he's from 1930 - oh, maybe that's the painting's message!); and 2) Trump's hands are too large.

Oh, and, he won't be happy that the portrait of Ahmadinejad is larger than his.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

O.M.G.

Brilliant. Just brilliant.

Tell me these people don't all work together to screw the general public and put taxpayer money in their own pockets.




Neil Bush. That other son nobody talks about ever since that S&L business.

Neil served as a director of Silverado Banking, Savings and Loan in Denver, Colorado, from 1985 until 1988. During that time, the now-dead thrift made over $200 million in loans to Neil's two partners in JNB Exploration, Neil's abysmally unsuccessful oil company. Silverado's failure was due at least in part to the fact that Neil's two partners welshed on $132 million in loans.

Federal regulators determined that, while Silverado was pumping loans to Neil's two associates, Neil was completely dependent on the two men for his income. The failure of Silverado -- its closure delayed until after the 1988 election -- cost taxpayers about $1 billion. After almost two years of hand-wringing had passed, an expert hired by regulators declared that Neil suffered from an "ethical disability," and he was required to pay a $50,000 fine for his ethical lapses at Silverado. Neil's estimated $250,000 in legal bills generated by the scandal are reportedly being paid for him by a banking-industry lobbyist who is fighting to get banks deregulated.

But that's not his only financial qualification:

After Silverado failed, Neil started a new oil company, Apex Energy. This time, his money came from a $2.35 million loan through a Small Business Administration program, a loan arranged by an old family friend. When news of this reached the press in March 1991, the SBA discovered that the companies through which the loan was approved were technically insolvent, and it gave them up to thirty months to "self-liquidate." This meant that Apex would have to repay its SBA-guaranteed loans. Neil took this as his cue to move on, and he left Apex -- and its debts -- for others to worry about.

Bush Family Values.

This Could Get Interesting

The Iranian parliament has summoned the president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, to answer a series of questions over the government's handling of the economy and his personal judgments.

The move is unprecedented in the history of the Islamic republic.

After a year of internal debate and unsuccessful attempts to question or impeach the president, MPs secured enough signatures for an attempt to summon Ahmadinejad.

[...]

The move comes at a time of discontent at home owing to western economic sanctions and growing international isolation over Iran's nuclear programme.

And we just stepped up the sanctions again. So that will be interesting to see what happens if Ahmadinejad gets the boot. Not that I think that would prevent Iran from its ultimate fate of being attacked by Israel/US.

In recent weeks, fears of a major confrontation between Iran and the west have grown.

Between Iran and the west? Where’s Israel in that statement?

Iranian agencies have published a list of 10 questions the MPs expect Ahmadinejad to answer when he appears in parliament. These include questions about the government's controversial plan to reform subsidies, his refusal to comply with parliamentary legislation, and about a period of time last year when Ahmadinejad stayed away from the presidential palace for 11 days in an apparent protest at Khamenei's reinstatement of a minister he had asked to step down.

Yeah, he could be in trouble.
