What's with that weird shadow surrounding him? It looks really unnatural, like somebody lasso'd Rand and created a duplicate layer of him in Photoshop, then used the burn tool on the layer behind the duplicate so Rand would stand out more from the background.

It's the contrast between the grass and his white shirt, I think.

No, I agree that there's something there. It's like this dark halo surrounding him. Looks like something out of a Dees picture.

We never tested this theory. I am now wondering if the hypothetical cashier in question would even have noticed.

So here’s what I’m gonna do as president: I’m gonna ask Fred Smith, the founder of FedEx, to come over to the government for three months. Just come for three months to immigration and customs enforcement and show them." ~Chris Christie

Considering how much FedEx offshores through contractors to avoid this issue I find this especially funny.

If he was standing behind the only large object likely to be there, like his bus or something, you'd see a much bigger shadow instead of some weird poo poo that perfectly conforms to his body outline.

His head was either photoshopped onto another body or his entire body was photoshopped into the image with no regard to what his surroundings were. Either one is funny and poor composition.

Some minor immigration news from the Great state of, bring us your tired, you hungry, you properly documented Texas.

The state health services department has said repeatedly that matrícula cards — issued by the Mexican consulate offices throughout Texas — were never considered secure documents for purposes of obtaining a vital record. Some counties were accepting the IDs until recently, however. They have been ordered to stop by the department.

Basically if I can't prove who you are then I can't issue you a birth certificate for that kid you just birthed (is that a word) right in front of me.
