My thanks to Col. Pat Lang, among the most astute of current affairs bloggers, who juxtaposed this report from the Washington Post with the accompanying image from the Walker Gallery in his Athenaeum blog yesterday.  My only contribution here is to present the pairing in my usual DoubleQuotes format — with pleasure.

Synchronic and diachronic

Gone fishing

With thanks to Bryan Alexander and Infocult readers.
