From a conversation with eventhewaves...

[missroserose]

...about the similar "make the rich richer" theories shared by Baroque French and current Republican forms of government:


3 billion yards of fabric: $20 billion

300,000 rice-powder wigs: $90 million

Everybody in America looking like they just stepped off the set of Dangerous Liaisons: Priceless.

There are some things money can't buy. For everything else, there's tax cuts.

If anybody wants to make this into an icon for me, I'd be eternally indebted...

Who came to that idea first, you or Brian???

brilliant posting.

I'd like to see this converted into Photoshop or DreamStudio

Technically it was Brian's idea, but I edited it a bit based on the population of America and the costs of fabric, rice-powder wigs, etc. If you're any good with PS, it'd be nifty to see George W. dressed up like that...*grin*

Im still busily looking for source material for my "Morons and small children will be silenced with an oosik" gallery poster. Please keep an eye out for good pictures of oosiks end-on or a similar angle. Pictures of Dubya with his mouth hanging open are far easier to get.

I'll see what I can do about the wigs. Screencap investigation when I get home.
