Can you find the hidden clues in this famous painting and uncover the infamous Waldo?

I've always been a voracious reader, as far back as I can remember I felt a powerful need to read. My Mom was a tireless reader of popular novels and mysteries and my Dad was a "Great Books" reader so I grew up in the presence of books and their availability probably had a lot to do with my love of reading.

When I was five and six years old I lived half a city block from a branch library and my grandfather would take me in hand to check out a book every week or so. I remember reading the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam at the age of nine and devouring everything I found interesting in my elementary school library. I read everything, books, newspapers, cereal boxes, reading became my escape, reading became almost obsessive.

Ohio 2nd Blogger has a post up titled "First Substantive Clash in Senate Primary". Go read it and come back.

I don't have a subscription for the article, but assuming the excerpt is representative of the articles main thrust the differences between Brown and Hackett's Iraq war position hardly seem substantive.

Let's be clear. George Bush and his Republican allies lied us into the Iraq war, and once there have spectacularly lost it. Iraq is broken and cannot be fixed by the United States. What to do now is the big question of the day. Iraq is the single biggest issue this country faces. From the continuing loss of life, to the economic drain.
