Nope I lifted it off the Financial Times web page I think. You know, google image photoshop fodder search.. oh that looks like a good one. It is actual data except the March projections. Notice the trend since Wonder Boy won the election. Only question now is where we'll find the bottom.

I was going to use one like the one on Drudge where there was an upper smooth part with this pronounced drop. On top would have been Change with Hope sliding down the drop off.

I'll tell you the photoshop that blew me away was the one at GP and V may have picked it up... the one with Bman at the wheel with Pelosiin the passenger seat and Reid in the back in front of the breadline. Whoever did that did a fantastic job.

i've been practicing a little shopping myself. if i ever get halfway good at it i'll post something - now my partner at curtains, freedomnow - he's MASTER photoshopper - a brilliant man.

I find it very relaxing. I have a friend that is good at it. We call it Farking because of Fark.com. Those people are very good. But it is addictive. The fun part is doing the google image search for the composition. I am working on one about the Fairness Doctrine. You've probably heard me say that we already have a fairness doctrine... it's called the radio channel selector. I know liberals have a hard time applying their freedom of choice to things without a pulse so I thought a simple graphic may be needed.

the fairness doctrine will die as soon as the other side realizes it applies to them also. funny how that works.

as far as shopping or facebook or any other techie thing goes - our two teens have it figured out but will not share with me - i always get the standard line, "don't worry mom - you'll figure it out." so i finally broke down and asked my oldest daughter in cali to help me out - she and my granddaughter are helping me in their spare time.

think when i figure it out i'll shop some blemishes and bad teeth onto the other twos' faces and post them on my facebook...that'll show them!

my advice, though I am still a novice, is to use layers sets to groups layers. This way you can manipulate them as a group.

A friend once made this portrait out of really unattractive features. It looked real and was without doubt the ugliest woman you ever saw. We'd be out partying and he would get some guy in a conversation about his sister. Man you ought to take her out. Then he'd pull out the picture and just watch their reaction. We'd be cracking up... but their expressions were priceless.

layers? i don't EVEN know what you're talking about - it'd be difficult to ugly our two up, but i think a couple of blacked out teeth and some stuff running out of their noses would bring them to their knees.
