Can't help the blogger's style
I tend to agree with you on the tone, for what it's worth. If it had been me, I would have posted the photo and the background, period. I'd like to think it speaks for itself, especially considering the crap Byrd has thrown at Bush.
Maybe like the Community Board, some things are just "off the playing field." I like to think so.
I have seen many quiet stories like this on Bush, often in small papers about some local thing. I don't post them here for obvious reasons--it's like dropping a dead cow into the raptor cage.
