It’s quite amazing the news out of North Korea and Bill Clinton’s visit (overshadowing Hillary?). This photo, though, looks slightly different than standard Washington White House fare. First, note how the photographer captures the elation… “ok, everyone, 1-2-3… frown!”

But most disturbing perhaps is the Walmart-like photo studio backdrop and carpet. It looks as though the meeting is going to be pre-empted at any moment by a massive tidal wave.
