...them she does - to their fullest political protest potential. (Real Warning: Although these images are made completely out of LEGOs, they are disturbing.) Legofesto posts her creations on a blog and Flickr page. Who knew there were so many different LEGO accessories and facial expressions? There's a Gitmo prisoner strapped to a stretcher wearing a black hood - made out of LEGOs. There's a detainee getting waterboarded - by LEGO figurines. There's President Bush declaring "Missing Accomplished" - standing at a LEGO podium. "By using toys, I hope the viewer will linger longer over the image and think again about...
...success isn’t one shining moment of stylistic joy—the aforementioned passage may even be out of place in “Nobody Move.” It’s that when the $2.3 million dollars that kicks around between the characters (you already knew there was some sum, even if you hadn’t been told) goes to the bad guys, the protagonists—and the reader—don’t really care.

But just then he was doing, I believe, what I was trying to do: hold on to our lives...
...single night, another opportunity, but that was it and he had wanted away from her.... It turned out that a single time was not all it was. More than a year later, I learned that he had allowed [the woman] into our lives and had not, even when he knew better, made her leave us alone. I tried to get him to explain, but he did not know himself why he had allowed it to happen. In months of talking with him, I have come to understand his liaison with this woman, if I have, not as a substitute...
