This painting was commissioned by someone working in Afghanistan and he wanted to immortalise his time over there. His request coincided perfectly with the shambles that was the elections and the announcement of Karzai's eventual and somewhat unconstitutional (perhaps?) victory and re-election to President. Hurrah for democracy! Though thats all in the past now, quickly forgotten about and life goes on.

Megan Fox has a thing for President-elect Barack Obama!
"I think he's very sexy," the sultry starlet said at last night's party celebrating GQ's annual Men of the Year list (Obama is among the honorees). "And God help me because I hope I don’t get in trouble for saying this, but I think he's so articulate and so intelligent and so charismatic when he delivers speeches, that there is something very sexy about that—very! And he's also very slim and lean."
And which other actor surprised us by fawning over Obama's sexiness? Read on to find out...

"The dude has got the looks going on," said Eckhart, a sex symbol in his own right. "I don't know what he is on a 1-to-10 scale...but he's athletic, he's in control, he's charming and he's well-spoken."
