No sleeping in, no blog reading, no excuses; get to the polls and vote.
Image above is by James Montgomery Flagg. For more on Flagg, (after you’ve voted), see my post urging you to get out and vote in 2006.
Good luck, America.
Wake Up, America!
Let’s hope America has a better day at the polls than Flagg had at the easel with this picture. Lady Liberty has never looked more shapeless and blobby. That chair is painfully bad. And what’s up with that pillow?
But I definitely agree with you, Charley– good luck America!
Yeah, definitely not one of Flagg’s best, but called to duty for today. I’ll do a real post on Flagg at some point.

Well that seems to have worked Charley!
How about that.
This is a very timely and meaningful portrait of the present day situation of America. After the election, what will happen to America. This serves as a wake up call for those who never pay attention and respect to his motherland. Regarding the arts, I find it nice and deep. It has a clear meaning and really a great piece of art. With this, you may also find the background in my site useful.

I agree with Julian; in the absence of any better explanation for what finally roused America from its slumbers, I am perfectly willing to credit this post. Good job– although you clearly don’t have many readers in Kentucky.
My take on the outcome of the election is actually in today’s post on Thomas Cole. Perhaps I was too subtle.
