After allowing my subscription to The Nation to expire, due
to lack of funds last year, I renewed my subscription and now
read it regularly.
The latest issue's back page ad is an artistic rendering of
Dubya eating a headless child, drops of blood around his
mouth and spilling onto his hands, and it's undoubtedly an
eyeful of political art.
If you're a fellow subscriber to The Nation, then you know
the ad I'm talking about in the July 5 issue.
But if you're not reading The Nation these days, and you want
to see this powerful, and somewhat obscene, piece of public
advertising art, go to the sponsoring organization's web
site: http://www.pleasevote.com/.
You may soon see this work of art on other web sites, at
antiwar rallies and on 
tee shirts.

Andrew Sullivan posts a link to this entry at the blog Petrelis Files about a back cover ad in the leftie journal The Nation that Sullivan calls "a new low" for the Far Left. It reminds me of some of the vicious European editorial cartoons showing Israeli PM Sharon eating Palestinian children.

Sullivan is right, I think, when he says this sort of thing will only help, not hurt, Bush win re-election
Update: Sullivan found out who sponsored the ad, none other than the Nation itself. Write and tell them what you think of their demonization of an American president.
