Well, I wanted to make my 666th post yesterday, with something relevant to the Beast to be cute about it, but since no one knows the day nor the hour nor known unknowns, why not make it 6/7/6 (or 7/6/6) instead. <br><br>At least this is about one of the Beasts: <br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>Rumsfeld Painting Expected to Be a Hit in Baghdad<br>By HAMZA HENDAWI, AP<br><br>BAGHDAD, Iraq (June 7) - Muayad Muhsin was both inspired and enraged by a photo of U.S. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld slumped on a seat with his army boots up in front of him.<br><br>"It symbolized America's soulless might and arrogance," said Muhsin, whose similar painting of Rumsfeld will be unveiled in an exhibition opening in Baghdad on Monday.<br>...<br><br>While Rumsfeld's image is true to life, he sits next to a partially damaged statue of a lion standing over a human - a traditional image of strength during the ancient Babylon civilization. The statue's stone base is ripped open, revealing shelves from which white piece of papers are flying away, later turning into birds soaring high into an ominously gray sky.<br>...<br><br>"Rumsfeld's boots deliver a message from America: 'We rule the world,"' Muhsin, 41, told The Associated Press in an interview. "It speaks of America's total indifference to what the rest of the world thinks."<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--> <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://articles.news.aol.com/news/article.adp?id=20060607041109990001&cid=842">articles.news.aol.com/new...01&cid=842</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://cdn.news.aol.com/aolnews_photos/0d/03/20060607064009990009" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=gouda@rigorousintuition>Gouda</A> at: 6/7/06 12:38 pm<br></i>
