Santorum: "Eye of Mordor" on Iraq

A conversation about a new visualization architecture for JUNG led to one of my friends and co-conspirators on JUNG to refer me to this:

http://www.zoomatron.com/Images/eye.html

which in conjunction with this news about a recent extended quote from Pennsylvania's Senator Rick Santorum:

http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/111-10172006-728120.html

inspired me to suggest that I wish I knew how to create such an image of the Eye of Sauron over Iraq...which led to him producing this:

This totally rocks. In several ways. Go check it out if you are (a) a LoTR fan, (b) amused by clever political commentary, and/or (c) interested in nice hacks.

Every time I think I can't dislike that guy any more than I already do, he proves me wrong.

Doesn't work for me...

I tried Safari and Firefox to view the zoomatron and the sauron.html links, and neither of them did anything for me, so I got bored with it.

Then I got un-bored, and tried it in my virtual windows machine under IE 6, and it gave me your mashup.

So, I guess I'm saying, VALHALLA!!!!!!!

Weird. They worked for me under Firefox on MacOS.
