Red Menace

Despite the majority of Americans being sick of war after a decade of the Bush Administration’s miserable failures in Iraq and Afghanistan, and despite the hundreds of thousands of pointless casualties those two conflicts have incurred, Mitt Romney seems eager to sacrifice even more American troops and foreign civilians to the Blood God.

Yeah, This Won't Backfire...

A famous photograph of Donald Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam began circulating on the web shortly before the more recent Iraq invasion, and has become symbolic of the folly of giving strongman dictators guns and an expense account for the Military Industrial Complex all-you-can-eat bonanza, not to mention the irony of having those very weapons turned against the US and its allies shortly afterwards…

Sam's Club

I do feel we have a legitimate humanitarian mission in Libya, but it’s hard to trust our government to treat it as anything other than yet another opportunity to put down an anti-US tinpot and distribute his country’s resources to extra-national corporations, instead of the people who live there…

My 1st Presidency

The events depicted in the photographs include 9/11, Bush being informed of 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, that guy who threw his shoes at Bush, and assorted caskets coming back from the war. Also, the half-eaten pretzel refers to the time Bush reportedly choked on one, in case anybody out there forgot about that…
