The Eyes Have It

It has been said that they are the windows to the soul.  That they "have it".  You can tell so much by looking into someone's eyes.  Or can you?  I don't know, but if you have a teenage daughter - you'd probably notice that they are silent weapons.  Somehow, an eye roll or a long drawn out look up to the ceiling exposing the whites of one's eyes is the ultimate sign of disrespect to a parent, or teacher, or any person in authority for that matter.  Also, have you noticed that when you roll your eyes with complete and utter abandon, that it actually hurts a little?  It takes a lot of effort, but it gets your point across without having to say a word.

Lately, with all that is happening in Washington - don't you just honestly want to roll your eyes?  I am not seasoned nor up to par on all the issues to actually make an educated statement or voice my ignorant opinion about it all.  However, I can roll my eyes.  It's my right. 
This Newsweek cover is getting all kinds of attention, and as blatantly bi-partisan as it is...it is a bit warranted.

  Bachmann and many of her cohorts have been getting all kinds of attention lately for sticking their political feet in their mouths. She is famous for  rewriting history.  See here for a take on the whole thing.

 She is an easy target.  We live in a free country.  Freedom of the press, and yes - it was a little ballsy for them to run this cover of her looking a little crazy in the eyes, but maybe she just had a little too much caffeine.  She's passionate about the issues, she's passionate about her country, she's passionate about having her picture taken, and it shows.  The eyes have it.  With all that is happening in our world, Look to caption on the right of Newsweek cover, I think it's just fine to poke fun at some of our leaders, and even roll our eyes at them.
