So, this unfortunately timed photo is of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, pointing to a spot across the room, and inadvertently creating a shadow on the face of German Chancellor Angela Merkel. I can't stop cringing.

Photo Of The Day
Until you realize what it is, today's picture sort of takes you by surprise. The photo is of a skull of a child, with the outer layer of bone removed. By removing the outer layer, we're able to see how adult teeth grow in the body, while the "baby" teeth work their way out. It's quite fascinating.

Each one of the blue dots is a zip code, in which someone contributed $200 or more to President Obama's campaign in 2008, but haven't donated in this election cycle. The darker the dot, the more people in that zip code that have yet to re-up.
In '08, more than 550,000 people donated at least $200 to Obama's campaign. So far this year, 88% of those donors, or 537,806 people have not made another $200 commitment.
One thing is abundantly clear. While Obama may very well be elected to a second term, the level of passion and excitement about the presidential election has plummeted.

Aaaand President Obama just secured the nerd vote.
The photo of the President, with 'Star Trek's' Nichelle Nichols, was taken in the Oval Office on February 29th. Nichols is famously credited with having the first interracial kiss on television. Her and William Shatner locked lips in a 'Star Trek' episode which aired on November 22, 1968.
The 79-year-old actress credits Martin Luther King Jr. for her success in the legendary sci-fi series. She once told him that she was contemplating leaving the show, in order to pursue a Broadway career. King convinced her that for the first time, white viewers would see African-Americans as equals. He asked her to continue with the series, so that women and children would have someone to look up to.
I would say she succeeded.

This photo is beautiful. I want to blow this up and hang it in my home.

Photos Of The Day
Today, I couldn't settle on just on photo. There were three, all taken at the same location, that quickly captured my attention.
The above photos were all taken Saturday, March 3, 2012, at the Virginia state Capitol building. In Richmond, Virginia. In the United States.
Approximately 20 State Police officers were called in to break up a group of roughly 1,000 people, mostly women. They were protesting new legislation that requires women to receive an ultrasound before an abortion. The bill passed both the state senate and house last week. It is expected to be signed by governor Bob McDonnell at any time.
31 protesters were arrested after locking arms and refusing to vacate the area. State Police came in, dressed in riot gear, and warned the crowd to leave or face arrest. Most officers carried semi-automatic weapons and tear gas.
THIS IS HAPPENING IN AMERICA, PEOPLE. What the fuck has happened to our country?
You can view many more photos from the protest at Style Weekly's Facebook page. They also have a well written article on their website.

The above photo was taken Saturday of Marine recruiter booth at a Pasadena, California, Gay Pride event. Yes, the branch of the armed services that were kicking and screaming throughout the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell, are the ones that are showing the most initiative in reaching out to the gay and lesbian community since it's repeal.
Astonishing. I never thought I would have seen this.

Yeah, that's going to require a "Lather, rinse and repeat" to get that smell out.

As a way to keep their pool furniture from blowing away, employees of the Hilton in Ocean City, Maryland, were told to shove it all into the hotel's pool. On Thursday, the city's mayor, Rick Meehan, ordered a mandatory evacuation in advance of Hurricane Irene.

If you live in New York City, rats are part of the territory. Sadly, there is no way to avoid them. But, this is ridiculous.
The rat, killed Wednesday in a housing project in Brooklyn, is approximately three feet long. Experts believe that it is a pet rat that was at one time imported from Gambia. They're unable to reproduce. The worst part of the story: the Housing Authority worker that killed it said there were two more just as big that got away.
(Shudders)
In related news, there are tens of millions of rats that call the New York City subway system their home. As Hurricane Irene approaches within the next 24 hours, many city officials realize that there is a distinct possibility that part of the subway network may be flooded after she passes overhead. With that in mind, an MTA official announced yesterday to expect the possibility of millions of subway rats "seeking higher ground". Lovely.
Maybe New York City should just change it's name to the Fire Swamp.
