Let's hear it for the kid

Public employees in Covington, Ky. are threatened with layoffs and pay cuts. The employees plan a modest informational rally.  I attend, scan the horizon for a photograph and then there is the kid.  I know it is a cheap and easy photograph to make, mom has adorned the toddler in a shirt that pleads "Protect My Daddy" and a few frames later, a photograph.  Once again...manipulated.  I was used and I let myself be used...and darn it, the kid was really cute!!!
