WILD CARD
Acrylic on Canvas, 2004
36" X 48"

"This painting is a parody of the Iraqi leadership 'most wanted' playing cards that were passed out to the troops during the American invasion and occupation of Iraq. I also donąt think our president is mentally playing with a full deck. All one has to do is listen to his speeches...his stumbling over words, his redundancy, and the deer-in-the-headlights look. Bush's presidency has been a joke so it is appropriate that he be dressed as a court jester. A dangerous one at that, since he has access to the world's most advanced and largest military arsenal in history. His juggling of bombs illustrates how precarious our situation is with George Bush at the helm."
