[Jim] Fitzpatrick's 1966-67 graphic was later used in a 1968 painting attributed to Andy Warhol and sold to a gallery in Rome. The painting used the same graphic processes used on the acclaimed Marilyn Monroe pieces. However this painting was a forgery, created by Gerard Malanga who was in need of money. When Warhol heard of the fraud, he shrewdly authenticated the fake, providing that all the money from sales went to him.

According to Wikipedia: a bromance or a "man-crush" is a close but non-sexual relationship between two men. Coined in the 1990s, the term has historically referred to a relationship between heterosexuals, but recently the term has gained currency in describing such relationships when one of the men is gay.

The Honolulu Star-Bulletin reported on August 9 that "[a]fter delivering a campaign speech, Sen. Barack Obama 's first stop on his Hawaii vacation was a visit to his grandmother's Makiki apartment, where he also lived during his youth."
On the August 10 edition of ABC's This Week, ABC News political analyst Cokie Roberts criticized Sen. Barack Obama -- who was born in Hawaii -- for "going off this week to a vacation in Hawaii," which she said "does not make any sense whatsoever." Roberts stated: "I know his grandmother lives in Hawaii and I know Hawaii is a state, but it has the look of him going off to some sort of foreign, exotic place." Roberts continued: "He should be in Myrtle Beach, and, you know, if he's going to take a vacation at this time."
(Just mentioning:
First, Obama's grandmother was dying. She died less than three months later, on the Eve of the election.
Second, Cokie Roberts's father was Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, and her mother was in the United States Congress and later, ambassador to the Vatican. Her sister was mayor of Princeton, New Jersey--yes, that Princeton. She is well known, she is worldly. She should know better, yes?
Yes, she knows better. But Cokie and her husband, Steven Roberts, are conservative pundits. You see? Which means: No vacations for the Obama Family on Lake Como! Not possible! ::))
Meanwhile--
I LOVE this!

Hmm. But you know, Italy could work. It's not as exotic as Hawaii.. ;D
Why would the columnist G Will mention Putin? Beats me, because since May, Russia's president is Medvedev. Putin is now 'merely' the Prime Minister.

Obama looks good. Always. In my opinion. But even he does not wear this wig well! :-\
