They Framed the Picture of a Dead Terrorist

Okay, I know I said I wasn't going to write anymore letters to the President. But this one is really more of a note. Just a postcard. And I'm not sending it.

Dear POTUS: Was it really necessary to frame the picture of a dead Zarqawi? Aside from the miserable enormity of the picture, its content was eerily similar in format to the first portrait of a newborn, naked, eyes closed, head turned on a stark white sheet. This snapshot of birth's opposite, actually birth's nemesis, did not need an unfinished pine frame and mat job to make it's point. He's dead. Some bombs got him. Point taken. No need to celebrate. Save the money on the half-ass Aaron Brothers job and put it toward something worthwhile, like, say, poverty eradication.

Signed, Me.
