I have no idea what to make of this, but for my parting shot as I leave for a little R&R, here is something completely different.
An artist has done a set of paintings of Obama, and sometimes Ms. Obama, naked, with unicorns. The unicorns seem to have their appendage coming out of an Obama logo.
There is a set of these online. Some of them, including the first, are grotesque. Most are just plain weird. But this one, for obvious reasons, is quite funny. I invite my loyal readers to put on their art critic hats and do a little hermeneutic investigation. I can't wait to see what you come up with. Hat tip to my old grad school buddy Steve Hayward for this post on No Left Turns.
Is that Hugh Laurie on the right?

I know this might sound redundant but it reminds me of a really bad black velvet painting.

It looks like something you would see on the side of a van.

All I can think of, without spending too much thought on it, is Obama is trapped between the House and communism? Stalin? "Rock and a hard place. Devil and the deep blue sea." I don't know. Crap.
Out with it.

Obama is riding the American dream to victory over communism and Doctor House.
Or
Dr. House is attempting to figure out what ailment is causing Obama to ride around naked while hallucinating patriotic unicorns.

I am guessing that the painting is a critique of Obama's healthcare proposals. Stalin and Dr. House. That's a rock and a hard place. But the naked President is a bit much.
