Electric carts carrying leaders and delegates leave the venue after the first negotiating session at the G8 Summit in St.Petersburg, Russia, Sunday July 16, 2006. The Lebanon crisis and the nuclear ambitions of Iran and North Korea looked set to dominate talks Sunday between the Group of Eight leaders who gathered for their annual summit on the world's most pressing challenges.

4. A couple of notes

1. Notice the seriousness of the discussion between KGB Vlad and Chancellor Merkel.

2. Notice the look on Condomlezza's face as her dimwit student attempts to articulate on some point.

3. Notice that Asshole has that same Amway distributor's look on his face in just about every photo.

4. Finally, notice how confused Asshole looks when Mitterand elaborates on some complex issue. (The look says, "Where's my Pet Goat?")
