What's with that ultra-thin, very unwrinkled file folder in front of Rob Nicholson? Damn! he looked right into the camera while nervously shuffling around. No royal jelly there.
We have evidence here of the coming Conservative fiscal austerity: They can't afford a chair for Peter Van Loan! Is he responsible for getting the coffee? He's reminding me of Sergeant Schultz here. "I know nuthing...." He stands there for only 15 seconds, and looks incredibly useless the entire time.
Truth is, they can't have Van Loan sit beside Harper because he'd appear higher in the hierarchy than he is. Harper gets one entire side of the table. Alpha male stuff.
In another great example of Harper bringing us government transparency, we can see Peter Mackay's undershirt through his translucent shirt. I guess I should call that 'government translucency.'
Well, I guess we should be thankful for this. Clearly, we have no need of Parliament as long as The Harper Government can continue to supply us with 15 second soundless clips of white guys doing something.

Check out these very serious men. Who said they weren't doing any work? Look, look. Harper's pointing! MacKay (while looking more than a little hungover) is locked onto every word of his beloved leader.
This meeting is SERIOUS BUSINESS, so don't no body act like they're all on vacation.
but wait a sec why does everyone have their hands awkwardly on their notebooks?
ah-ha! There's nothing written on those notebooks! THEY'RE COMPLETELY BLANK!
ok. ok. so it seems that Harper's PR team ran into a problem for this truly candid photo op. In trying to show that the Con team is on the job; having security meetings, addressing your concerns around the Afghan detainee scandal, making you feel safe; they threw notebooks around on Harper's desk, had our PM talk with as much gravitas as he was able to scrape out, and forgot to have them scribble gibberish on their notebooks.
Or (and i really wouldn't be surprised if this is what actually happened) it was felt that a real photo of a security meeting would be a security risk, whereas notes on TOP SECRET information could have been inadvertently revealed in such a photo, to our enemies.
Either way, a lot of work went into this photo, but it's clearly not a photo of work being done.
Two last notes
1. Why does Peter Van Loan look so creepy? Why didn't he get a chair? He seems really awkward. Can someone please give him a chair, please... PLEASE??
2. And while everyone else has a generic white cup and saucer, look how cool Harper is, he's got a Beatles mug! He's just so cool.
