News in Pictures May 19 - 25

Advanced Photoshop Pictures Contest - 22 image entries

Contest Directions:

Create images of something that happened in the news during May 19 - 25.
Here's an example of a news story that can be used:
Hillary Clinton caused waves of public anger with her RFK assassination comments in South Dakota yesterday. When asked why she still goes on with her campaign, when it's impossible to get an edge over Obama, Clinton said that this campaign is far from over and added "We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California." After shock and anger reaction from the public and Obama camp ("...there's no place in this campaign for such remarks"), Clinton issued a public apology saying that she did not imply that somebody may try to kill Obama, but used the RFK example to show that some campaigns may take longer than others. Whatever Mrs. Clinton implied, these comments have severely undermined her future chances of getting a running mate place from Obama.

c00per Nice work.
Hillary's expression is priceless.
Only critique on this would be a slight adjustment to your layers so as to place the left gun at the forefront of the target of Obama so that the red target line and the jacket lapel are behind the barrel and the hitman. As it is right now, you can follow Obama's jacket shoulder out to the tie of the hitman.

AZRainman Thanks Coops. I got sloppy on that one.

Hitspinner Pretty good. You made the light and hues agree

Nannygoatman Great Job!. I can't stand Hillary but in all honesty I think her statements were not interpruted correctly. But that's OK too!

c00per

Thanks Coops. I got sloppy on that one.

Well, 1 out of 641 ain't bad.

Just don't let it happen again, lol.

Very nice work, again.

Nannygoatman One other thing. Is that a Zodiac killer reference on the hitman?

AZRainman LOL Coops, I knew if I replied, I would spill my cards and give myself away. As always, I appreciate your eyeballs.

Nannygoatman, it's a pentagram with the devil. I figured she must be praying for the dark side, if she is using an assassination excuse to stay in the race and even used it twice. The irony is Ted Kennedy now has fatal brain tumor, so her timing could not be worse.

BoredBas HA HA HA! THIS IS EXTREMELY HILLARY-OUS !!!
YOU'RE SUCH A WINNER! LOL !
WHY 'TIME' DOESNT COME UP WITH A COVER LIKE THIS ?!
WE KNOW THEY WANT TO.

c00per Trust me, I knew it was your work before you replied.

Nicely done, as always.

jerrylambert I like mine better. lol

Good work though, I love Hildogs expression. But Agent 47 is a devout Catholic so the pentagram is misleading. Yes I'm a fanboy.

funkwood Congrats AZ, another masterpiece by "the Rainman", it's interesting that cooper spotted those blips, I didn't see them at all, but very good critique, and very good work!

AZRainman Thanks all for the compliments

Comics verses reality: Agent 47 rejected the church, never reformed, isn't baptized and never took catechism, so he being a catholic is an impossibility. As for why a murdering clone wears the Sigil of Baphomet, it is because he is an assassin and it symbolizes his disaffirmation of the Holy Trinity.

Kennedy Lives On!

Profile: Edward Kennedy - The last link to Camelot

From the article:
"Last week the New York Daily News reported that Kennedy himself was looking closer to home for a successor, having told friends that Vicki should take over his Senate seat, which has been a family fiefdom for generations. It seems that even as he faces a terminal illness, Ted is determined to have a say in US politics – and keep the Kennedy name alive."

I say, Picture this:
In the year 2036 newspapers will report that Ted Kennedy was again elected to the senate by the Massachusetts voters, even though he passed away many years prior.

Even with the Cryogenically frozen Head of Kennedy the democrats secure another win in the 2036 election!
The democrats are excited that the majority of Mass voters are still enamored with the Kennedy legacy and don't want to run the risk of offering up a new candidate. The people are trained to vote for the Kennedy name and the party does not wish to upset the applecart, confusing the people.

Scientists are excited with their collection of democratic severed heads. The head of Kennedy is the most exciting as he continues to be re-elected each term since his body death many years ago. This gives great hope to all the other politicians currently holding office as many of them have pre-paid plans for preserving their severed heads in a cryogenic state.
The paper reports that Kennedy may be dead from the neck up but he still resonates with the voters, winning landslide elections.
