welcome to the US... circa GW '06... land of the fleeing.... home of the slaves.... what's left of the dream, huh? undercover cops in whatever car they feel like driving? Protection a la the "patriot" act... which acts like liberty isn't a four letter word these days.... Hey Mr. G-man, you bent the rules so you can listen in on any cell phone conversation you feel like because.... because you can? presume guilt in the name of the war on a phantom enemy that we can or cannot prove does or doesn't exist? Or are they all the enemy because they all hate us now? They all look alike when they're stuffed full of hate... There's one sitting right in Iran that needs plenty of attention.

What the fuck? Is it time to play pin the bomb on the rogue terrorist state, or fix the broken economy? Nah, let's just fuck with the local's freedoms... take away their liberties, overtax their properties, raise the cost of living but leave the mass to feed on the minimum wage at the bottom of the birdcage...

...soon enough you'll need a breathalizer to start your car, period, and a dna sample to get a license...

but you'll still be able to walk the point in the wind ripped desert of Iraq, no matter who you are, cuz they're running out of volunteers... you won't be able to get a library card in Maryland without a background check and a cavity search, but you'll get an M-16 and some face paint if you agree to take a potentially endless tour of the desert...

Meanwhile Congress smuggles itself another 2% cost of living raise because it has the tough job of sending boys off to die to protect that elusive american dream...

who needs comics these days?

Watch CNN for two miserable minutes, life is a fucking punchline...
