War Room Photos

The White House photo of Obama and his national security team following events in the Bin Laden operation

Very serious. Look at Mrs. Clinton.

Caption from the official photo by Pete Souza: "President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, along with members of the national security team, receive an update on the mission against Osama bin Laden in the Situation Room of the White House, May 1, 2011. Please note: a classified document seen in this photograph has been obscured."

EDIT to point out interesting detail: the man sitting center-stage in this photo is Brigadier General Marshall B. "Brad" Webb

Now look a little closer, and you'll see a little image enhancement... you'll see a burn bag next to Mr. Obama, and Hillary's secret code word. And something else...

Good Shooting, Sir.

Here's a Link to the official White House flickr photostream with the original photo and others from that day.

And, gang, do you think we can all pitch in so that the White House Situation Room can look a little more like this:

2001: A Different Score

Alex North's original score restored to 2001 A Space Odyssey. Included are a few minutes of the first scene "The Dawn of man." What's interesting, and Blasphemous about this - is that North was hired to score the film -- then fired, or Kubrick changed his mind. In an alternate universe, this is the opening. They fly to Jupiter on the Millennium Falcon, and name the computer R2... wait, no, that's the alternate universe after Marty accidentally bumped into Kubrick with the DeLorean on the way to warn him that Biff stole the Oscar Winning script for Napoleon.... Napoleon Dynamite.
