The PICTs are coming.
Remember what Schwarzenegger said? The interests who control him are not "special interests," they are "Powerful Interests who Control Things."

A little slip of the tongue, there, an admission that the real rulers of this country are the billionaire capitalist class.

It's time to drive the PICTs -- the Powerful Interests who Control Things -- out of our political economy for once and all.

1. Also an historical barbarian tribe
I think they were big when the Celts were big. When I saw the headline, I thought we were being invaded.

3. It's also a digital image format
like TIFFs and JPEGs. I thought a bunch of pictures were on their way!

5. The Celtic Picts held out in Northern Scotland
when the Romans governed most of Britain. Like modern PICTs, they were known for their disdain for civilization.

So, aren't we being invaded? Well, no, our PICTs have pretty much always been here, I guess.

PICT is also the native image format for the Macintosh. No, I have no punny designs on that homonym.
