Vietnam '08 - 05 - Stelae at the Temple of LIterature

Temple of LIterature.

Medical treatese inscribed into stone stelae carried on stone tortoises, symbols of wisdom and knowledge. They are written in old Chinese and indeed the whole temple is very much in Chinese influence.

The Temple of Literature was built in 1070 and became Vietnam's first university and a centre of learning.

Election Literature - Republican

Election literature sent to my house during the last weekend before the election.

This came in the mail on Saturday before the election. It's a flier asking "Is it worth the risk?" to elect Obama, given what Joe Biden said recently about expecting a crisis "to test the mettle of this guy".

The imagery includes pictures of Osama bin Laden, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Hugo Chavez, Kim Yong-Il, and Vladimir Putin. I'm frankly very surprised that Putin is included. What does that say about how the McCain campaign views Russia?

Thinking about it, I'm also pretty surprised that the people "watching" Obama are not named. Kim and Putin are pretty well known faces, but I bet a LOT of people would be unable to name them - not to mention Chavez and Ahmadinejad . And why not include the "iconic" Osama bin Laden picture, the one that everyone is likely to recognize instantly? Instead, his face is kind of hidden, especially considering that the coloring of the picture makes it fade into the background a lot. And why are Chavez and Kim in B/W but the other two are color? And would people really recognize right away that the background is a crucible? Or is that intentionally made to look like "the flames of hell"?

They are also reusing the "pensive Obama" shot from the "Crime & Punishment" flier. TBH, they needed a less thoughtful picture here. Making him look flippant (like the Biden pic), rather than thoughtful would have worked much better.

This is the least thought-through and least effective piece of the ones in this set, IMHO. I guess that makes sense, given that they must have rushed it out after the 19th.
