This is a first for PatsPropaganda.com, a completely non-Patriots post but I saw this picture and had to put it on the blog. This is one of my all time favorite photos and I actually have it framed in my house. I love the playfulness on Clyde’s face, like he’s just getting a kick out of Bonnie playing with the guns. They were on the run when these pictures were taken, notice that Bonnie’s hair had been dyed black from it’s natural blonde.

Bonnie got a bad rap for these pictures, but in reality she was just joking around and never shot any of the guns (though she was good at reloading them), nor did she smoke cigars as she appeared to in some of the other photos from this set. That was just media sensationalism in the ‘30s.

Here’s a link to a poem that Bonnie wrote towards the end of their run. They are two of the most fascinating people in American History, and were as much of a product of a horribly corrupt system as they were criminals.
