Professor of Public Policy at the NYU Marron Institute for Urban Management and editor of the Journal of Drug Policy Analysis. Teaches about the methods of policy analysis about drug abuse control and crime control policy, working out the implications of two principles: that swift and certain sanctions don't have to be severe to be effective, and that well-designed threats usually don't have to be carried out.

Is this a picture of dyslexics for Romney?
Dyslexics Untied for Romney
You’re saying this is what dyslexics customarily read in the usual campaign fodder? Omaba!
Great idea, but I’m dubious. It would be the work of five minutes or less in Photoshop to swap the O and the M on the shirts.

So says Bymotov.
Hey.
At least I’ve got a leather belt.
Elitist!
If it’s ‘shopped, then they went all-in and swapped the two boy’s heads…and did it in multiple photo’s, like this one from Democratic Underground:
The kids are arranged by height. If you swap the M and the O the heights are wrong.
I’m just talking about swapping the letters, not moving the kids.
Anyway, it’s hard to tell which of the first two is taller.
The easy way to find out is to find the correctly spelled version, and see which kid is wearing which letter, but I haven’t been able to do that.
It’s a fake, and an obvious fake at that. In the higher quality version you can clearly see a white O behind the M in the first boy and a white M behind the O in the second. A quick reverse image search finds the original here: http://www.reuters.com/news/pictures/slideshow?articleId=USRTR2X9UL#a=1
You’re such a killjoy! Next you’ll tell us not to call him Willard, like his mama did…
In the original the kid with glasses is wearing the O and the other one the M.
You can’t spell Romney without Money!
thank you
Who’s this Normey?
Look it up, people. Romney took only a symbolic $1 salary to manage and successfully rescue a sinking Olympics. He didn’t have to.
Again, took a symbolic $1 as salary to turnaround and successfully govern Massachusetts. Again, he didn’t have to. He’ll do the same as president, while rescuing this country successfuly from going to the ditch.
Asal mula web Judi Poker Online Mengelokkan dipercaya di Dunia.
Dari segi buku Foster’ s Complete Hoyle, RF Foster menyelipkan “ Permainan situs pokerqq paling dipercaya dimainkan mula-mula di Amerika Serikat, lima kartu bikin masing masing pemain dari satu antaran kartu berisi 20 kartu”. Tetapi ada banyaknya ahli tarikh yg tidak setuju diantaranya David Parlett yg menguatkan jika permainan situs judi poker online paling dipercaya ini mirip seperti permainan kartu dari Persia yang dibawa oleh As-Nas. Kurang lebih sejahrawan menjelaskan nama produk ini diambil dari Poca Irlandi adalah Pron Pokah atau Pocket, tetapi masih menjadi abu-abu karena tidak dijumpai dengan pasti sapa yg menjelaskan permainan itu menjadi permainan poker.
Walau ada sisi per judian dalam semua tipe permainan ini, banyak pakar menjelaskan lebih jelas berkaitan gimana situs judi poker mampu menjadi game taruhan yang disenangi beberapa orang dalam Amerika Serikat. Itu berjalan bertepatan dengan munculnya betting di daerah sungai Mississippi dan daerah sekelilingnya pada tahun 1700 an serta 1800 an. Pada saat itu mungkin serius tampil terdapatnya keserupaan antara poker masa lalu dengan modern poker online tidak hanya pada trick berspekulasi tetapi sampai ke pikiran di tempat. Mungkin ini lah cikal akan munculnya permainan poker modern yg kalian ketahui sampai saat tersebut.
Riwayat awal timbulnya situs judi poker paling dipercaya Di dalam graha judi, salon sampai kapal-kapal yg siapkan arena betting yg ada didaerah setengah Mississippi, mereka terkadang bermain cukup hanya manfaatkan 1 dek yg beberapa 20 kartu (seperti permainan as-nas). Game itu terkadang dimainkan langsung tidak dengan diundi, langsung menang, punya putaran taruhan, dapat meningkatkan perhitungan taruhan seperi game as-nas.
Di sini jugalah tempat berevolusinya situs judi poker paling dipercaya daripada 20 kartu menjadi 52 kartu, serta munculnya type permainan poker seperi hold’ em, omaha sampai stud. Herannya orang melihat bila poker stud jadi poker pertama dan classic yang telah dimainkan lebih daripada 200 tahun.
Diakhir tahun 1800 an sajian Poker Online mulai disematkan lagi ketentuan baru diantaranya straight dan flush serta beberapa type tipe yang lain lain seperti tipe poker low ball, wild cards, community cards of one mode dan lainnya.

More likely bad timing on when the picture was taken, but telling to the point of Freudian, nonetheless.
photoshopping merely revealed the hidden truth
The bandwidth saving wordpress filters distort the image greatly, making it look photoshopped:
