This is a caustic collection of the top political and social
e-cartoonists of today. It offers the best among the web's flurry
of unfettered opinions. The top political and social e-cartoonists
found on the web today provide yet another incisive and irreverent
alternative view of today's society and politics. Like in the
previous volumes of "Attitude," Ted Rall's interviews of the
artists are featured along numerous cartoons.
A furious escaped lab bunny vandalizes symbols of corporate greed
while arguing political theory with a pigtailed eco-warrior, as Zen
Pug observes it all in blissful detachment. They drag her pop
culture-bedazzled brother, his anarchist boyfriend and other
characters - kicking and screaming - into the struggle against the
rapacious thugs and theocratic wingnuts ruling imperial America.
Stephanie McMillan's comics, deploying an engaging visual style
that draws in everything from folk art to anime, confront the
insanity and heartlessness of global capitalism and war.
Ted Rall is best known for saying today what will become
conventional wisdom tomorrow. His GENERALISSIMO EL BUSHO is the
ultimate chronicle of the most polarizing presidency in modern
American history, a brilliantly tragicomic week-by-week dissection
of the Bush Administration's follies and crimes as seen by
America's most courageous editorial cartoonist and political
writer.
Ted Rall, who has traveled and reported from the world's hottest
trouble spots, recognizes a dictator when he sees one. And he
doesn't scare easily. Having seized power extraconstitutionally,
Bush and his cabal of corrupt businessmen made it obvious that they
intended to rule with ruthless zeal. Unlike most of his fellow
journalists, however, Rall refused to be cowed--even in the wake of
9/11. Others came out of the woodwork during 2003, but Ted Rall's
ferocious denunciations of our ersatz president and his assaults on
our precious freedoms stood virtually alone during the flag-waving
weeks and months following the attacks on New York and Washington.
And unlike every other commentator, Rall used two different forms
of media--cartoons and essays--to speak brutally honest truth to
power even as he fended off death threats.
Brave, uncompromising and fiercely devoted to traditional
American values of freedom and integrity, Ted Rall's GENERALISSIMO
EL BUSHO collects the best of his hilarious cartoons and brutally
honest essays during the Bush years.
Controversial cartoonist Ted Rall went to the Afghan front to
report for the "Village Voice." This collection includes his
articles as well as a graphic novel of his impressions. Did we win?
Was not oil the real reason for going there? The year's most
anticipated graphic novel event!
How did a charismatic young president elected in an atmosphere
of optimism and expectation lead the United States to the brink of
revolution? From a chance encounter in the early 1980s to the
Democratic primaries of 2007-08, syndicated columnist and political
cartoonist Ted Rall was one of the first to size up Barack Obama as
we know him now: conservative, risk-averse and tonedeaf. In "The
Book of Obama" Rall revisits the rapid rise and dizzying fall of
Obama--and the emergence of the Tea Party and Occupy movements--and
draws a startling conclusion: We the People weren't lied to. We
lied to ourselves, both about Obama and the two-party system. We
voted when we ought to have revolted.
At first glance, the United States invasion of Afghanistan seemed
like an obvious response to the horrifying attacks of September
11th, 2001. Now, as America remains threatened by Al Qaeda and
Afghanistan has disintegrated into the bloodshed of renewed civil
war, the occupation looks like a disaster. But fighting terrorism
wasn t the real goal of the Afghan war. Picking up where his

A close presidential election in November could well come down to
contested states or even districts--or an election decided by vote
theft. The book names the filthy-rich sugar-daddies who are funding
the Super PACs of both parties told with Palast's no-holds-barred,
reporter-on-the-beat style.
