So over the weekend I was out on Snelling Avenue, down around Saint Clair street, along the east edge of the Macalester College campus.

For those of you not from the area, Mac is the standard by which other left-leaning Twin Cities’ post-secondary institutions measure their leftism.  It’s Berkeley (or at least Oberon) on the Mississippi.  It’s Kofi Annan’s alma mater, for crying out loud.

Anyway.

Mac was a hotbed of Obama support; Obama, according to Mark Ritchie’s office, got 225% of the vote on campus last November. [*]

Anyway – down by Saint Clair, someone hung a seven-foot-tall black and white “Change” poster with the iconic “Obama” image on it, on the side of an apartment building facing Snelling.

But when I caught it out of the corner of my eye, it looked less like Obama than…

…er, Peter Lorre.

And at second glance?  Yep.  Still Peter Lorre.

Just saying.

[*] Kidding.  I’m a kidder.  I kid.
