About that caption on the DU homepage



Best caption ever!

I have been studying the card carefully. Like Dee Brown, I examined all the hidden symbolism -- what it means. Notice the empty POTUS chair. He is not there. Why? It's still early enough for a fire, but we are left with the comforting thought that the prez is still hard at work. Nice touch with the master's empty chair. Almost makes me hear RCA xmas carols drifting through the old victrola. The placement of the four presents in the triangular area where an invisible tree could be discerned -- code for the Christians to visualize a tinsel-covered tree. Perhaps more subtle the very prominent placement of the presents to emphasize the important part of the American holiday season -- the material. As a gesture of Goodwill to Jews, there are ten points of light in the room. For Republicans, Bo's ass is facing Alaska.

Did I miss anything? I really fully expect there to be a bottle of coke somewhere (possibly in the swag).

I do find it a little odd that his family isn't present.

**Edit**

Well I guess not there is a site that has tons of past cards. Some are just a picture of the West Wing in Snow, or a Painting of a setting. Interesting.
