MOST ELITIST PHOTO OF ALL TIME: The Detroit Free Press is so in-the-tank for Barack Obama that they used some terribly expensive camera to cover his rally with Al Gore in Michigan yesterday. It’s a 360-degree shot of a packed Joe Louis Arena, and you can swivel it, zoom in, zoom out, marvel at the diverse crowd of hard-working white Americans and black children, or whatever it is that gets you off about these big Hopey cult rituals.
