Rumsfeld's Song
I woke up in a fury about Rumsfeld’s strategic communications speech this morning. Better to do art than to seethe, say I, especially if you’re deficient in zen skills. I am submitting this for Illustration Friday’s theme of the week, which is song when I scan this tomorrow on a large-format scanner. Click on the thumbnail for a legible version. This piece is dedicated to all those people who have suffered or died at the hands of this administration’s “communication.”

It’s the words from a song, I forget who sang it.
I commend you on taking a stand against the prolification of ‘hatred’ thinking. It is art and artists, that hold up a mirror for the world to see itself and it is through the same means that the sound of peace will eventually resound around the world.
Well done, my friend.

Pica: This piece of yours should be a poster. It should hang on every dorm wall in—I started to say the U.S., but I actually mean The World. Possibly next to that pathetically earnest “War Is Unhealthy for Children and Other Living Things” that didn’t do the job the first time. And with a punchy caption that I can’t think of right now but that calls attention to how polite we were before and how we’re through being polite, and why.
Thanks for the rant about Rumsfield. The Universe will eventually extract its payment.
