Im not sure about the political aspect of your post Tony, But if she feels ashamed to look at you, then thats her problem, not yours, the world of today is fubar, and its going to take something very important to everyone to make the changed needed to put us back on track. (im talking intergalactic war here) :(
as for your sandwich maker, that photo looks like the printer cartridge is either clogged up, or running out, or was set to print in high speed draft mode.if it was brand new and you have printed out alot of thing's then it could just be the carts are running out, new printers only come a 1/3 full of ink :(
