THE BLANK GENERATION

Trying hard to not keep up with the Joneses in 2005.

Betty Boop's skeletal remains

Okay, this is hilarious. Ever wonder what Peppermint Patty looks like under her clothes (and skin and flesh)?

On a more serious note, the recent tsunamis in the Indian Ocean have diverted Americans' attention from the war in Iraq and their upcoming elections. But, photographer Aaron Huey has our back. His recent series, "War at Home," is posted on his site and adds a very human face to the toll this war is taking on our own people. It's a refreshing, if difficult, look at the war, considering how the Bush administration has all but levied a "no photos" rule on the American press regarding our soldiers and their homecoming (in boxes).

For additional interesting photos (and commentary) see Kevin Sites' blog. Sites is the on-location photographer that recently videotaped the controversial execution of Iraqi prisoners-of-war by an American Marine.

There are plenty of sites available on the web if you're interested in viewing the more gruesome images of both our injured troops and the Iraqi people we're battling/protecting. But both of these sites take, in my eyes, a more respectable approach at showing the true hardships of war without all the gore that's better left to the imagination. (I say that not because I want to deny that such realities exists, but rather because it's simply too much for me, personally, to stomach.)
