Is this really well done Photoshopping of a Fischer Price assault rifle onto Elvis, or is it for real? It looks like his hands are in guitar playing position. My guess at the moment is photo trickery. Can anyone turn up a link for the source photo? Is that a real or a squirt gun? I associate Fischer-Price with toddler toys, it seems unlikely that they ever made such a gun.

I don’t see any signature on this paste-up. Any ideas on attribution: Judith Supine or Elbowtoe come to mind?

It’s from a French street artist called MBW – he has a ton of new wheatpastes up around Williamsburg and in the city right now.

Yesterday, blogger Alan Breslauer met Karl Rove before Rove was set to give a speech in Los Angeles. During the encounter, Breslauer unrolled a banner reading “Free Don Siegelman” which Rove reluctantly agreed to hold. – thinkprogress.org

(CBS) Is Don Siegelman in prison because he’s a criminal or because he belonged to the wrong political party in Alabama? Siegelman is the former governor of Alabama, and he was the most successful Democrat in that Republican state. But while he was governor, the U.S. Justice Department launched multiple investigations that went on year after year until, finally, a jury convicted Siegelman of bribery.

Now, many Democrats and Republicans have become suspicious of the Justice Department’s motivations. As correspondent Scott Pelley reports, 52 former state attorneys-general have asked Congress to investigate whether the prosecution of Siegelman was pursued not because of a crime but because of politics.
Did Ex-Alabama Governor Get A Raw Deal?
