If you figure that out let me know, as I have no idea. There&#8217;s some pretty funny stuff in here if this is your political persuasion (&#8220;this&#8221; being mostly that GW Bush and Republicans in general are shitbags, while Democrats are mostly worthless), but if this isn&#8217;t your thing, well, it&#8217;s not going to do a whole lot for you. There&#8217;s also a slight problem with the fact that political strips are incredibly topical, so that even though this book was done in 2006, as I sit here in 2007 (as somebody who pays a lot of attention to politics, sadly), there are plenty of faces in various strips that were a mystery to me. Possibly if I read them the week they came out it would make perfect sense, but a year removed I have no idea who were committing the outrages of the week. Still, some funny and disturbing stuff in here, and call me an eternal optimist, but I have to imagine that most people out there who pay attention to this stuff at all are more or less in line with his political views&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/hateyerstate2.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" hspace=\"0\" align=\"bottom\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Hate Yer State #2 Now Available! $2 What&#8217;s the best way to review a book of political comics?
