One of Bogosian's best portraits was that of a man from the Robert Bly school of self-discovery: "Hi, I'm Eric and I'm a recovering male..." Eric proceeds to confess shame-facedly to noticing women's bodies on the street, sadly apologizing "I'm a human trapped in a man's body...

Well, maybe after the 100 days he can relax and we can get some steady leadership" from the White House.
