Rex Grossman has shown flashes of brilliance but has also shown himself to be injury-plagued and prone to throwing multiple interceptions in any given game. In 2006, the first year when he was able to start the entire season, he helped the Bears get to the Super Bowl where he botched snaps, fumbled, and helped to give Peyton Manning and the Colts a championship. The following 2007 season was not kind to Grossman. The Bears failed to match their 2006 success and midway through the season, Grossman was benched in favor of Brian Griese. Toward the end of the year, Grossman was given yet another chance and he once again was injured. But despite cries from fans to get rid of him, Grossman was given a one-year contract to once again prove himself in 2008. Here he stands in his underwear, holding a football as he bares (bears?) his soul to the world, playing on the field metaphorically half-naked, the entire nation aware of his faults and tendency to make bad judgments. Can Rex finally live up to his potential? Do you have "hope" for Rex and his ability to have a good year in 2008? I personally feel that any supporter of Barack Obama should also be a fan of Rex Grossman, especially since everyone knows Obama is a big Bears fan.

At the bottom of the painting Oprah Winfrey sings Josephine Baker's hit song, "Don't Touch My Tomatoes" as Supreme Court Justices John Roberts and Antonin Scalia do just that, much in the way other Justices ignored the cries of old ladies screaming, begging, "Please Don't Touch My House" when it came to eminent domain laws which were passed during the Bush administration that allowed the government to take people's houses "for the greater public good".
