Photohunt: Spring Break Recession

It looks like the global recession is starting to slow party-life in college.

Spring-breakers, mostly from Canada, enjoy themselves at the beach in the resort city of Cancun, Mexico Wednesday March 4, 2009. The U.S. State Department and universities in the U.S. are warning college students headed for Mexico for some spring-break partying of a surge in drug-related murder and mayhem south of the border

I assume they're all Canadian because Canada has Spring Break earlier. Canadians should know that Mexico is America's playground, not theirs. They can go to Daytona Beach and hang out with the locals. They'd fit in more there anyways.

So...

Photohunt: Korean Volunteers

This weeks "Photohunt" is from the Chosun Ilbo. The official caption is "Volunteers pose after hanging blankets they washed for poor families in Busan on Thursday." Seems like a nice gesture. A little odd, but nice nonetheless.

Photohunt: Demise?

Obama's trip couldn't have started out any better for him and worse for McCain. With Obama's vision of foreign policy being realized (talks with Iran and Iraqi timetable) and McCain attempting to blur their policies in hopes that people will just forget all of his tough talk, I imagine we'll see this face a lot more in the near future.

Photohunt: Running of the Bulls

This weeks "Photohunt" features what I think is a wonderful cultural icon and one that I hope NEVER to participate in. Only one man was gorged and dozens hospitalized in this years run, so that's good, but I wonder: If you do run, is it more impressive to have escaped without injury or to have been caught and survived?

Photohunt: "Peace" in Iraq

This week's Photohunt features what is likely more to come propaganda-esque images out of Iraq. This one is showing how great Iraq must be because there is one child in the pool. I have looked at the entire album on CNN and there are more armed US GI's than children. I think I counted three children total to over nine soldiers. It's great that there is pool, but these images are serving political purposes. A heavily gaurded and essentailly empty swimming pool does not equate to much.

The last one was a Bush / McCain pic...



And Sid spotted the edit: Bush's nose was made smaller and pointier.
