Subliminal messages

This picture of Dick Cheney has made the rounds of the blog world this week, because determined viewers worried that they can see a nude (or nearly nude) woman reflected in his sunglasses.

If that's you're thing, go for it (later you can get a whiskey glass with some ice cubes in it, dim the lights, put on some Barry White, and look at it).

But I think the more obvious and important point--nothing subliminal about it at all--is the Separated at Birth angle:




(Cheney image via White House website. Black Spy image from the ultimate reference source for that sort of thing. Hat tip to James the Elder for the Christmas gift that keeps on giving.)
