Taking a shortcut…
I was walking to a meeting today on the other side of the river when I noticed a duck up ahead of me, walking over said bridge. As I got closer I noticed the duck was followed by a chain of ducklings. Maybe this is just my sense of humor, but I appreciated the irony of the little duck family taking a shortcut over the bridge vs. wading over the river. Odd as I am, it made me think of how times where I have taken the easy way out of things rather than the better/more expected route. Politically, I would equate this to Obama’s decision to not accept public funding - I think he is taking the easy route of fund raising rather than fixing the inherent problems with the public funding model that has been in place since Watergate.
I only had my phone with me so the quality may not be the best - you can click on the image to see the larger version on Flickr.
Maybe this would be a good picture for a “apply your own caption” contest.
