Flickr apparently has this neat feature which lets me blog directly from it. I figure it’s going to be pretty useful for posting some artworks on my blog.

Change… Not!

Now who do we most associate change with? If you answered Obama, give yourself a cookie, because he’s the one I’ll be ripping on in this post. Continue reading only if you don’t mind a little Obama-bashing.
