This is a hand painted digital rendition of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, shaded with cartoon filtering to highlight her big fat chin and jowl lines. The image depicts the leader of Europe's strongest economy, at a microphone. The words around the frame suggest that she is telling US President Barack Obama to stop snooping on her phone, and to just call her ... anytime. Do you think that the probability of compliance on behalf of the National Security Agency is now higher or lower than it was before the whole scandal broke? And why does anyone say that America was just doing what everyone else did ... only better? If they were better, they would not have been caught, would they? I mean, we're not hearing about other countries specific actions (except for France spying on its own citizens). So obviously they're doing it better than the Americans, right?
