12. It's neither political nor amusing.
It is disturbing, as it should be.

By placing a Bush-Cheney sticker on a casket, I only made an abstract concept literal.

No American who protests this illegal "war" should feel offended; if you are, you've missed the point, entirely.

No, our dead troops cannot speak for themselves -- the Bush* administration takes care of that for them. The Bush* administration is using our dead troops to advance a political agenda. Now do you get it?

And, frankly, this is no more shocking, disturbing, or offensive than much of mopaul's best work (not, mind you, that I could ever reach the pinnacle of mopaul's brilliance).

This, for example, comes to mind (URL contains spaces for anyone easily offended -- everyone else, copy, remove the spaces, and paste it):

...which I think is disturbing, and brilliant.
