This is like shooting fish in a barrel, but in case you missed it:
"WASHINGTON, Jan. 29, 2002

Attorney General John Ashcroft in front Spirit of Justice statue
(CBS) No longer will the attorney general be photographed in front of two partially nude statues in the Great Hall of the Department of Justice.
The department spent $8,000 on blue drapes that hide the two giant, aluminum art deco statues.
ABC News reported that Ashcroft ordered the statues covered because he didn't like being photographed in front of them.
Since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, Ashcroft has been photographed several times in front of the female statue that represents the Spirit of Justice. The statue has its arms raised and a toga draped over its body, but a single breast is completely exposed.
The other statue, of a man with a cloth covering his midsection, is called the Majesty of Law.
Both statues were installed in the 1930s when the building was finished, according to the Justice Department."
Ladies and Gentleman, our attorney General at work.

Happy Ground Hogs Day everyone.
Today also happens to be 02-02-02. I'm sure that numerologists are having a hay day with today's date. Our primate brains are great at noticing patterns but unfortunately we also tend to try and make meaning out of those patterns where there is no meaning. Still, 02-02-02 looks neat. And it is a good day to pull large rodents out of their holes and hold them up to the light to prophesize the weather.
