Suggestion: change the wood planks upon which Caribou Barbie is standing to an icberg, and photoshop in distant spires of the Kremlin in the background.

Indeed. What would Roland Barthes say?

"No amount of words can surpass the image. The image says everything."

I guess that explains why you didn't say anything --- again.

Can we cut that raft loose and let her drift away?

"Retch" is a word that comes to mind.

She's a clown that we put down, she's a man that doesn't fit, she's a king but not in this town, to you and me she's a renegade.

But she is a king when she's on her own, she's got a bike and that's his throne, and when she rides, she's like the wind, to you and me she's a renegade.

She's a boy who has lost her sights, she's a stranger, prowls the night, she's a devil, that's right -- to you and me she's a renegade.

Check it out, check her face, look at her eyes, they're so sly, I wonder why she cries from the inside, I wonder why she's a renegade.

@1 - the icebergs are melting. Just ask the people who are dealing with rising lands from the lack of glaciers pressing down on the land who can't use boats to get to work anymore.

What is wrong with her hands? She is hiding them in nearly every picture in that spread...except for that strange zombie-claw on the cover.

That brings to mind "the Maverick." another self-serving bit of republican rebranding. Nothing like a little spin to turn idiot into "of the people," or college educated into "elite."

On her dock, at her house, on Lake Lucille, in Wasilla. Photo by my friend Brian. She's nuts.

I'm with Max Solomon - that's about all it "says" to me.

Let me spell it out - she's about to take a long walk off a short pier. Like so many people have wished she would.

Looks like she's backed herself into a corner, and has to sink or swim.

Any more stupid cliche metaphors we can use?

Holy crap! A Thin Lizzy reference that doesn't involve Whiskey in the Jar or The Boys Are Back in Town! Nobody gives a damn when you're down on your luck.

In Americaspeak, being so Stupid+Nacrissistic+Insanely ambitious+Lazy that nothing you do makes any sense means you're some kind of political genius. Criminy.

Renegade? Did she commit the ultimate sin of testifying against her own (when she was a cop) and she now roams the country in a fringed jacket on her harley?

"Renegade" Oh for fuck's sake. Being wrong about everything doesn't make you a renegade. Why oh why can't we have a better media?
