Shorpy’s Picture of the Week
I love this picture, which comes from the wonderful guys at Shorpy. In my imagination, there are guys with jetpacks and goggles flying from the airship toward a square-chinned hero with twin .45 pistols and a jetpack of his own who is ready to launch himself from the Capitol dome to save our great nation [...]
