A picture’s worth a thousand words

So here are a few of my favourite images from 2006.First: President George W picks wrong again while playing ‘Which door leads to victory in Iraq?’

Next: Tony Blair’s ‘think global, act local’ strategy in the War on Terror gets support from the very top:

Room for another Bush … well he is the Leader of the Free World. Here he shows that he can turn his hand to anything … hey he might even get a game for the Poms! Note the look on the wicketkeeper’s face … he’ll be racing home later going “Hey mum I met President Bush …. guess what? He’s retarded!”

Of course no review of 2006 in pictures would be complete without a contribution from our very own prime minister. Here’s that freakish coincidence when a photographer happened to be in the prime ministerial lounge room to take a snap at 5 am, just as Howard and a couple of mates were watching the World Cup and the Socceroos scored a goal. Talk about a spontaneous eruption of unforced joy … they could hear the racket in Queanbeyan.

And finally, one that’s a bit of a ring-in because it’s from December, 2005, but I include it because it’s one of the saddest pictures I’ve ever seen … cute kid, eh? I wonder if he’s remembering how good it felt to bash a Leb. Racism Aussie style, Cronulla, 2005.
