Why aren’t more people talking about that Austin plane attack? Why isn’t this news? Why is nobody concerned about an act of terrorism? Of treason? When an angry, rich white guy adopting Al Qaeda tactics (while using his own private plane–sorta hilarious, since he insists that taxes ruined him), stay with me, and strikes against a branch of the Federal Government with murderous intent, that’s not newsworthy? Is all of journalism, and are all of us, that racist that we can just write this guy off as some poor wacko who hated paying taxes?

Glenn Beck and the Tea Party and Patriot movements keep drumming these guys up into a gold-and-gun-slinging frenzy, while Republican congressmen do their best to make sure that nothing happens in government, therefore insuring that government is, as they say, bad, and now we’ve seen an act of right-wing rebellion (with actual IRS casualties), and nobody cares?? But a couple of guys with brown skin that say their prayers to the east each unsuccessfully attempt to hijack planes, and it’s all we see or hear for months, and we’re pushed into more drastic, fortress-like and closed conditions at airports and in cities all over the world? I guess this empire might go out with a bang after all.

Now that you’ve scrolled through my liberal diatribes, here’s something I drew in my sketchbook a while ago while I was warming up to do some inks.
