I’m kinda partial to this [one](http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2012/08/28/us/28caucus-shear/28caucus-shear-blog480.jpg), myself. Although [this](http://whitepeoplemourningromney.tumblr.com/image/35255657543) isn’t without its charm either. ---

> [@RandMcnally](#): > > I’m playing “count the minorities.” I think I’m at 1. Hah; I did that last night with the CNN live feed of Romney’s campaign headquarters. I also counted only one possible minority; some guy who looked like he might have had an Asian ancestor somewhere. A huge contrast to the people in Obama’s headquarters live feed. Actually though what strikes me about these people is just how old they skew. Lots of white hair, and the ones that don’t have white hair tend to be rather wrinkled. ---

> [@StuffLikeThatThere](#): > > I saw that one, and thought the same thing. I find it a little disturbing to look at. Seriously, can anyone explain what’s happening there? Those are the crazy legs of broken dreams. You see… the female body has a way of arranging the legs like that if a legitimate desire for vaginal legislation goes unfulfilled. Actually I think I see what’s going on - she kneeling with her left leg (the one against the floor), then crossing her other leg over that one in a bizarre combination of a lounging position and a cross-legged position. ---

But her KNEES are in the completely wrong place/angle for that! I mean, I know how she’s theoretically sitting, but something in that picture is just… not working. ---

It’s how one sits compactly on the floor if one has been taught from birth never ever to spread ones legs in public. ---
