This is a rare photograph of President Richard M. Nixon—one of the few I've ever seen (and I've seen many) that captures his heart and soul:
Several recent ATIT articles on President Nixon:

A few random shots from the Pete Curran family reunion, which happens every year with 35 people attending, give or take one or two who can't make it. Head shots of all of them will appear tomorrow.

Poem: Kent, Washington
Kent, Washington
By Jack Brummet
1
The truck farms
Are still there,
Buried a layer down now
beneath tilt-up warehouses.
2
Fin, fur, flesh, and feather
Maintain a faint presence—
A robin waltzes in 3/4 time
Around a stranded nightcrawler;
The pale moon hangs low,
Almost humming overhead

The President's Head Explodes During Press Conference [six years ago today on All This Is That]
click to enlarge
[By Jack Brummet and Pablo Fanque, All This Is That Wire 6/28/2005 Cleveland, OH]
The President's head spontaneously exploded this afternoon as he formulated an answer to a three-part question from Heywood Jablomy of the Cheyenne Intelligencer. Seconds after the question was posed, the Presidents skull began glowing with a bright pink light and pieces of the skull seemed to break off and hover in the air.
Witnesses reported a deep ringing sound, followed by a loud bang and an overpowering smell of ozone. The whereabouts and medical condition of the President are not known at this time.
Pending further developments, the Vice-President invoked the 25th amendment to The Constitution and was sworn into office at 4:30 EDT today.

NASA's New Solar System (not quite—this image was assembled before Pluto was de-caffeinated)

I love browsing and plundering the NASA archives. And the photographs are free to use anywhere. We, the taxpayers own them!
The original caption for this montage (remember this was before the International Astronomical Union dethroned Pluto and decided there were only eight planets [1]). "This solar-system montage of the nine planets and 4 large moons of Jupiter in our solar system are set against a false-color view of the Rosette Nebula. The light emitted from the Rosette Nebula results from the presence of hydrogen (red), oxygen (green) and sulfur (blue). Most of the planetary images in this montage were obtained by NASA's planetary missions, which have dramatically changed our understanding of the solar system in the past 30 years."

- they need to orbit the Sun
- they need to have enough gravity to pull themselves into a ball
- they need to have cleared out all other objects from their orbit

Poem: Chasing Ghosts by Jack Brummet
Chasing Ghosts
by Jack Brummet
1
The scenery whirls by
In a drunken Gaussian Blur
Until I slow it down
And watch it unravel
In a multi-colored, quadrophonic
Parade of flora and fauna
Spinning Venn Diagrams
Around each other.
2
I quit chasing ghosts,
But once in a while
I look over my shoulder
And find a face in the crowd,
With a sad smile and a halo.
