Maybe it represents the evil cheese-eating surrender monkeys?

Good God.

On Jon McNaughton's website, he says it is to remind us of the rooster that crowed three times and made Peter weep bitterly for denying Christ. Americans are also in a state of denial, see. Nothing random about a Jon McNaughton painting, fo' shore.
