If you’re anything like me, or if you’ve spent more than five minutes over the last decade glancing at the headlines, you’re probably suffering from some form of outrage fatigue.

For those who have been following some discussions elsewhere, this one goes out to dukemeiser. Because Axe Cop is the world’s greatest defender of the Bush–Obama doctrine of surveillance and Homeland Security:

What I like about the comic is that it really does seem to be a pretty accurate representation of how War on Terror-hawks think the world ought to work. Why shouldn’t it?

• A (comparatively) cheerful post, for once: Naomi Wolf and the Tea Parties. John Markley, The Superfluous Man (2010-04-21). My feelings towards the Tea Party movement, and the public protests against the current administration’s policies in general, have generally been favorable but pessimistic: It’s nice to see a popular movement opposing the galloping statism of the bailouts, the stimulus, and health care “reforms,” but my expectation has been that… (Linked Tuesday 2010-04-27.)
