Secret Steganographic Message for @RalstonFlash Regarding Harry Reid, Harrah's and a Mysterious Spreadsheet of Casino Employees' Voting Status

The unofficial publicist of the Nevada Democrat Party is a Las Vegas Sun columnist-slash-spokes-hack named Jon Ralston. During the heat of the 2010 campaign, Ralston ran a series of advertisements for Harry Reid, all of which were cleverly disguised as op-eds. His marketing efforts culminated a couple of days ago, with a prediction that Reid would win despite long odds against him at the omniscient InTrade prediction market.

Earlier today, Ralston tweeted the following.

I couldn't help myself: wondering whether this crack newspaperman would delve into credible reports that Harrah's and MGM Mirage bused thousands of workers to the polls and urged them to vote for Reid, I tweeted Ralston:

Ralston's direct message cut me to the quick.

At which point I humbly recanted.


Having been utterly humiliated by the rapier-like wit of the RalstonFlash, I've determined I should conduct the rest of this conversation with Ralston privately.

For that reason, I've decided to employ steganography.

In short, steganography describes various methods for hiding secret messages within other, visible messages.

Using Biff Spackle's new steganographic algorithm (he calls it SpackleBoy 3000 -- humor him), I've crafted a secret message for Jon Ralston which is cleverly disguised within this photograph.

As an aside, is there a U.S. District Attorney anywhere in the western half of the United States to investigate this maddening criminality?
