So, what’s going on in the world of Zen Comix? I’m not posting regularly, but I’m writing some stuff for a longer, offline project. I’m going outside to smell the strawberries and apple blossoms. I still visit some of my favorite , funny sites, and if I’m motivated enough, I might even comment.

I find myself agreeing with Chris Floyd’s take on the American War Machine.

The cognitive dissonance on the right (Don’t read Miranda warnings to “terrorists” and strip them of citizenship, but allow them unfettered access to munitions. Also, too, show us your papers before purchasing over the counter cold medicine) is equaled by the refusal of the left to admit that it’s a war crime when Obama does it, just as it was a war crime when Bush did it.

I really should, but I can’t summon the energy right now to draw caricatures of the cast of characters in Obama’s Ring of Fire, hence the recycled cartoons of Republicans.The names and faces may change, but we’re still bogged down in wars.

I’m spending more time outside with the plants and birds. Every time I grab the shovel, the robins follow me around like puppy dogs. They’re practically tame. If I tried hard enough, I could get them to eat the worms from my hand.

Meanwhile, my mind keeps returning to this. The sole comment on a post about Tibetans being beaten by cops in New York City looks like Chinese spam. Capitalism, baby, fuck yeah! Who OWNS you? Next time, the Tibetans ought to hire some locked and loaded Teabaggers as security escorts. Or maybe when The Dalai Lama is playing golf with Mick Jaggar, he can ask him if he still has the number for the Hell’s Angels.

When it’s a white guy flying a plane into the Government’s IRS building, or blowing up Government buildings in Oklahoma, it’s your lone gunman explanation. When it’s a brown guy trying to blow shit up, it’s a conspiracy!

The US military is killing civilians in Afghanistan and Pakistan. How would you feel if people from Afghanistan and Pakistan and Iraq retaliated by killing American civilians here? Where is your Moral Clarity? How does the cycle end? The people with a vested interest in perpetuating the cycle are the same people that order the cops to beat the shit out of a bunch of flag waving Tibetans. Nothing new under the sun.

Health Care Reform?

Health Insurance Reform?

Meanwhile, The Gulf of Mexico is totally fucked. Why didn’t BP have the containment thingie ready to go from Day One? The same reason they didn’t have a remote shut off valve? The clean up of the Gulf will be cosmetic, at best, and won’t really begin in earnest until the winds whip the oil slick ashore and it lands on…

The gravy sucking pigs who want to shrink the Government until it’s small enough to drown in a bathtub full of oil slicked sea water are the first ones in line begging for the spoonful of Gummint Sugar Tits to help the medicine go down.

Don’t shit where you eat, my friend.
