Two blogs from 2011

Two blogs from 2011 from some guy I stumbled across last night. I didn't make them but I'm leaving for Manitoulin Island right now so they will have to suffice.
These are great slices of old-timer wisdom tempered with political knowledge and modern observations. If any of us write anything like this for R2N I'd be proud:

Also a review of the Harper nightmare:

and the best review of 'Network" I've read in a while:

Finally, last night I read a comic that is still haunting me. Joe Sacco, who is famous for his documentary-like comics from Yugoslavia and Palestine, returned to his underground comic roots with a nightmare trip into the heart of modern war and the the National Security madness that has consumed Washington. If you like your brutality mixed with surrealism, or your absurdity mixed with intelligence, and you like them in strong does than BUMF is for you (and me).
