Hi Lynne--
That's a tough picture to handle--no forms, a mustache, so really just dressed in what? a cheerleader outfit? Maybe he's trying to make a small joke here, but for me that picture would not be the one I wanted to go with that announcement. You're right, though, he's got some courage.

Here is the real article from the times. And I don't think that that is his picture.

Oh, good! That makes sense--the article above is an excerpt from another paper, and they ran their own "illustration." Not sure why I didn't pick up on that in the first place. At the same time, that picture runs a tad over into the insensitive side. I'm not outraged, but I hope in the future that kind of 'joke picture' is considered to be in bad taste.
