the buzz log
We're not sure what's stranger: that the The U.S. State Department has a Flickr photo stream, or some odd moments that have been captured.
One photo that caught the eye of Gawker is this gem: Barack and Michelle Obama pictured with the Spanish prime minister and his all-in-black, combat-boot-clad daughers.
Fine, right? Wrong. Apparently a law in Spain allows the Spanish leader to block photos of his 16- and 13-year-old girls from the press — and he has been taking full advantage. OK, so they're not Michelle Obama mini-mes, like Sasha and Malia, but they sure do look like teens. Pretty cool ones, too.
The photo made its way to the Spanish newspapers, giving the country its first look at the girls. We're hoping this isn't the start of an international incident.
