| Get Your War On by David Rees |

Like the comic character who is shocked that President Bush's approval rating is 44%, I'm shocked that there are still people who don't pick up the Reader every week to read Get Your War On by David Rees. It's cyber-Dilbert. Catbert is replaced by George W. Bush and the satire goes into a biting edge that makes your stomache hurt, makes you want to laugh and cry at the same time. The stifling corporate culture parody drifts from the incompetence and irresponsibility lampooned in Dilbert to the black and white information pamplet graphics of Rees' strip that deals with the war, its architects and victims... the deadpan face of the characters does not betray the crucified howls of logic emerging from the tragi-comic absurdity. "No decimal point yet.
Check back in a year--I bet we'll see 4.4%."
Emily Dickinson had a line: "the truth must dazzle gradually lest every man be blind." So the enormity of what the Bush Administration has wrought comes in a comic alternative. If nothing else it beats a soap opera farce from an army of media stooges subsidized by Bushco with your tax and consumer dollars. Just imagine how long that sentence would be if I used a word to represent every million dollars disappeared forever without a trace, leaving only the debt and the vig, the juice, the 15% of every tax dollar paying the interest on the Bush-GOP budget fiasco. Explain how we could spend 360 billion defense dollars to end up with our soldiers driving through a turkey shoot in humvees. No doubt it would all be easier for them without all the landmines and planted explosives, like the ones laying around unguarded because there weren't enough troops. Apparently the President didn't want to scare the voters into thinking that a real fucking war was starting. Everything is under control. Here's the latest staged event to prove it.
We are all paying the friends of the President to feed us the worst slit-your-own-throat-and-bleed-for-them bullshit (if you don't believe me please study what the Energy Gangsters did to the taxpayers of California while selling them a Hollywood Whore to work for the pimps by fucking everyone. Thanks GOP... at least that's one state I won't have to worry about in '08). 44%? It must be the President's approval rating among his screened loyalists.
