Bush picture?
Hey,

This is kind of a random question/post, but was just wondering if anyone knew... About that one picture of Bush, where he's reading to a class it seems like, and he's seated next to a little girl, and her book is rightside up and his is upside down... is that a fake?

3. I don't really know but
I have a night vision scope and the lens caps are opaque to visible light but clear for infrared. Maybe those are the same. I'm the last to defend * mind you.

5. What I'm saying
Is that you can use them in the day, but only seen things in infrared.

9. In fairness, it's pretty easy to put them up to your eyes, and THEN
realize the caps are on.

I can't stand the cowardly jackass, but I've used binocs a lot and I *still* do that one in a while.





Hey, that means I could become the President some day! :crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy:

12. Yes, I know
And another photograph of President Bush taken from the same sequence as the one above demonstrates that even if his binoculars did initially have their lens caps in place, they weren't there for long:

8. Unfortunately, in the Age of Photoshop
no picture can be totally trusted. So I guess pictures are not worth 1000 words anymore.

14. Well, statistically

I think pictures are now worth 622 words, less once the photo bubble bursts. :-)
