Anatomy of an iconic image — or, SEK’s doing visual rhetoric again

My job description shifted a little in the past week — no more waking up at 3 a.m. and watching Fox News for eight hours — and so now I’ll be writing more like this.

I’d include the image I’m breaking down, but Erik used it below and it’d look a little odd to have it crop up twice in two hours on the front-page.

(EDITED: I stole it from Erik now. Actual credit goes to Jonathan Bachman/Reuters.)
