Please don't

I have had this wallpaper on my desktop:

http://graphics.boston.com/images/sports/celtics/2008/06_18_08_team2_1024768.jpg

I just noticed someone holding up a tshirt that looks like it says, "McCain beats Obama, nice defense Satan"

I don't mean for this to be political in terms of who anyone is for or against, but just a funny thing I noticed.

TP for you.  That's fairly odd; you would think somebody at Boston.com would have edited that out.

Thanks Roy, that's exactly what I thought, the most entry level of interns could very easily have photoshopped that one out.

A couple of explanations for the "McCain beats Obama":

1) Every time the Celtics have faced the Lakers in the NBA finals in election years, the Republican won: Nixon, 1964; Gipper, 1984.

2) Celtics = toughness, experience, guts, walk the walk
Lakers = press favorites, hype, glamour, talk the talk, inexperience
