Now this is disturbing

Jordan Schwartz has built an interesting scene, if pigs in speedos interest you. I wish I could erase it from my mind! But I had to check out the details in this weird little scene. The beach ball, the ducky float-tube, the towel on the sand. Excellent!

President-Elect Barack Obama

There are more partisan LEGO images I could have chosen, but this beautiful mosaic by Udronotto seemed the most appropriate.

(Like Senator McCain’s concession speech a moment ago, let’s keep the comments civil, dear readers.)
