You know Repubicans are serious about your vote when they get their best iconographers choreographing your photo shoots.

Steele! 

The composition here is beautiful. The background is divided into three sections, a dark section, a light section (the direction in which he points) joined by the American Flag. 

The fill flash on his right (I'd bet it's a reflector, actually) nicely balances the highlights on the left and keeps his face from merging with the blue field in the flag behind him.

But how often do you suppose the brother strikes that pose on a daily basis? Weekly?

Oh, yeah. The picture came from here.

It would appear to be a publicity shot -- Time called up and asked for a pic, and this is what arrived. 

It IS a good picture.

Are you kidding? It's a great shot. Classic heroic pose, straight fron DC Comics.

I saw that after I posted this. The interesting thing about that is Steve is catching flak over the picture and none over the article he wrote.

The volks are always more sharply reactive to non-verbal gestures in their consensual memespace..., can't have any loose cannon rolling around belowdecks blasting away at the subliminal networking protocols.
