Petrelis Files

After allowing my subscription to The Nation to expire, due to lack of funds last year, I renewed my subscription and now read it regularly.

The latest issue's back page ad is an artistic rendering of Dubya eating a headless child, drops of blood around his mouth and spilling onto his hands, and it's undoubtedly an eyeful of political art.

If you're a fellow subscriber to The Nation, then you know the ad I'm talking about in the July 5 issue.

But if you're not reading The Nation these days, and you want to see this powerful, and somewhat obscene, piece of public advertising art, go to the sponsoring organization's web site: http://www.pleasevote.com/.

You may soon see this work of art on other web sites, at antiwar rallies and on tee shirts.
