There’s No Way Like the American Way.

Ah, the irony. Famous photographer Margaret Bourke-White (she was the first Western photographer allowed into the Soviet Union!) took this photo of a bread line during the Louisville Flood in Kentucky in 1937.

    After a flood, yes, but not a breadline. They’re waiting in line for help — in the form of food and clothing — the way people continue to do following a natural disaster. It’s like calling people waiting for assistance from the Red Cross a breadline.

    Haha. That picture was in my history textbook last year.

    Who is the creepy looking dude third from left, staring directly into the camera? More than a little unsettling.

    Was that background poster used in the Terry Gilliam movie “Brazil”? Without the “American” headline, of course. Either it, or something extremely similar?
