I remember that earlier post! I was so moved by it that I, like everyone else, was left speechless and failed to post a comment. Seriously, do you think this is a sign meant soley for you? You know how the CIA analyzes Osama bin Laden tapes for hidden messgaes? Gun is in his right hand must mean bomb on Tuesday. Mountain over his left shoulder means his Penthouse subscription ran out.

Maybe Bolton is sending you a message. "I hear you, Steakbellie, and I agree with you. I'm sorry to have caused so much pain. Let us take up the battle, the battle towards peace!"

This is disturbing, but right in line with Picasso's later works where he portrays rich art patrons like scumbags at a strip joint. They don't care about the meaning of the work, just want to be associated with its desirability as an object. Like the use of jazz in product names to give off a sense of coolness without even having anything to do with jazz.
