THAT'S NOT FUNNY!
Why is liberal cartoonist Garry Trudeau suddenly lashing out at conservative humorists? Maybe it has something to do with the devilish wit and pointed satire of "Truesbury," a biting parody/rewrite of Doonesbury recently launched by our friends at the Right-Wing Riot.

Oh, excellent! Keep it coming!
I loved this. I write in my own novel, Caesar Americus, about a program that allows the near-instant "rewriting" of news, TV shows and movies - complete with the computer re-imaging the actor's/broadcaster's mouth and expressions, so that the propaganda can be edited out of slanted media/entertainment! . . . Here, Right Wing Riot is doing it, and I couldn't be happier with their direction! Keep swinging your hay-makers to challenge the accepted, New Age hate speech that gives Neanderthals a happy excuse for hating (laying the groundwork for possible future violence) in order to make the world a better place - Just like the Nazis did, and so many other uncivilized goons.
