Tom Tomorrow in Tinseltown?
I recently received an e-mail from Dan Perkins, the political cartoonist most people around the country know as Tom Tomorrow of This Modern World fame. Seems Dan the Man has been co-authoring a screenplay with hilarious muckraker Michael Moore, and the two Bushwhackers are currently in the final stages of nailing down financing for the “fictional satirical narrative film,” as he calls it. Perkins will be art director, and I (for one) will be in the audience whenever this baby hits the screens. That is, if Big Brother hasn’t rammed through more civil-liberty-destroying legislation banning political cartoons by then.

But who cares as long as our daily habits aren’t interrupted too much. It’s not as if those clever terrorists (dare I mention forest fires, chem. warfare, mall bombers, etc.) will continue attacks on U.S. soil after we invade Iraq, right?

Baghdad Battle Royal
Concerning similarities between upcoming Nov. Iraq war and Vietnam under Nixon:

“The rationale became that Washington had to use its military might to preserve the possibility of using its military might (or the threat of that might) down the road. If you take a chessboard view of the world, this reasoning makes some sense. But it was a slim abstraction for which to sacrifice tens of thousands of Americans and kill hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese.”
