    Speculation on why Gonzales lied

    Saturday, July 28th, 2007

    It’s pretty clear that there’s only one reason why Alberto “Fredo” Gonzales didn’t commit perjury: Because GOP senators arranged for his March testimony to not be under oath, and an oath is required for perjury. It’s equally as clear that he lied to Congress, and he should suffer for it. But it [...]

    New Poster: Ready?

    Friday, July 27th, 2007

    I’ve got a new, rarer “landscape” poster ready. It shows two Zarkov rockets at a docking tower, with crew running to man the ships. A DV snub fighter is lifting in the background, and the ever-lovable jetpack guy has just launched himself. The tag is “They’re Ready to Do Their Part … [...]

    New Poster: Loose Lips…

    Tuesday, July 24th, 2007

    This is a variant of a classic saying from the Second World War: “Loose Lips Crash Ships!. Of course, in the original, it’s “Loose Lips Sink Ships” and the image is of a cargo ship going down beneath the waves. Well, cargo ship clearly becomes rocket ship… but then I was stuck. [...]

    Health of the Republic: Down 10% to 15%

    Friday, July 20th, 2007

    With exactly 18 months left to go in office, this President has made a sweeping and unprecedented play for unchecked power. According to a Washington Post article, the President intends to claim that Congress cannot pursue its investigation into the political firing of 9 US Attorneys, because the President has exerted a broad “executive [...]

    “We Can’t Make It Here” — James McMurtry

    Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

    Should I hate a people for the shade of their skin?
    Or the shape of their eyes? Or the shape I’m in?
    Should I hate them for having our jobs today?
    No, I hate the men who sent the jobs away.

    Re-cap on the posters

    Tuesday, July 10th, 2007

    It’s become clear that I’ve mis-tagged some of these, and I thought it was about time — 1/3 of the way toward a book! — to collect them in one place.
    More below the fold.

    New poster: Don’t Let That Shadow

    Friday, July 6th, 2007

    Another in the series, this one with the tag “Don’t Let That Shadow Touch Them“. This is based on one of the most effective WWII posters I know of, with the same tag but the shadow of a swastika. My job here was harder, in that I don’t have an instantly-recognizable symbol of [...]

    Shameless me-tooism

    Thursday, July 5th, 2007

    Generally, I don’t like posting a simple link to someone else. But today, I feel compelled, because Glenn Greenwald has done such a masterful job outlining the facts and the reasons behind the catastrophic collapse of American support throughout the world. We’ve allowed this President and his cronies to change what America is, [...]

    New Poster: A Swell Rocket

    Thursday, July 5th, 2007

    Yet more in my one-man propaganda barrage for the Second Interworld War. This one reads, “It’s a Swell Rocket … Send Us More! with the ubiquitous exhortation, “Work to Win”. I modeled it on one from Design for Victory that had a somewhat-goofy airman pointing his thumb at an off-camera airplane and saying, [...]

    “Brothers in Arms” — Dire Straits

    Tuesday, July 3rd, 2007

    There are so many different worlds
    So many different suns
    And we have just one world
    But we live in different ones…
