Happy Anniversary, My Dear
March 19, 2013(Illustration found here). Ten years along and the recipients of “shock and awe” know it as a wide-awake nightmare — from the NY Times: At the pet market, Karrar Habeeb, a 22-year-old carpenter, paused, surprised…
Cry Baby
March 18, 2013Personally, I’m pretty-much sick and tired of the fuckin’ public. As manager of a liquor store, I’ve seen just about every kind of asshole, listened to way-too many deplorably-sad stories, and encountered a general mass of people…

Day After: Sorrowful and Mad as fuckin’ shit
December 15, 2012(Illustration above found via BagNewsNotes. Artwork out front found here). Up this morning in a sad, but way-pissed mood. And like Jon Stewart’s faux news, reality and truth is way-better explained nowadays from such locations…
