[Luddite Patent Counsel]

What a pantload. "Something changed. Something happened." Yeah, someone took another photograph from a different angle, in different light, with a different expression on the subject. You can see plenty of examples of this phenomenon in the supermarket checkout aisle. When one of the tabs wants to push a good story, the subject photo looks angelic or attractive, depending on the story angle. If they want to sell a negative story, the cover shot looks like the devil or death warmed over. One of the major weeklies, either Time or Newsweek did the same thing when they "overdarkened" O.J. Simpson's mug shot after his arrest.

No one will ever know what actually happened with Nichols and Smith, but to conjur up such drama queen crap out of a couple of photos is hysterical nonsense. I thought real conservatives eschewed such touchy-feely psychobabble.

As a real conservative, I do believe faith can touch every heart. We need more of it, not less. Our lives are oft transformed to a Higher Purpose in ways we can't even conceive of yet. In a culture of death, we need to hear the Word Of God as much we can from his humblest servants.
