No icon

Reading Naomi Klein - it's like listening to a child thinking out loud.

"Iconic images inspire love and hate, and so it is with the photograph of James Blake Miller ..."

"In truth, the image just feels iconic because it is so laughably derivative ..."

"But never mind that. For a country that just elected a wannabe Marlboro man as its president, Miller is an icon ..."

"On second thoughts, perhaps Miller does deserve to be elevated to the status of icon - not of the war in Iraq, but of the new era of supercharged American impunity."
Bless her.
