I am A Cartoonist, Illustrator, Writer, Teacher, Father, Husband, Son, Brother, Cousin, Grandson, Former Marine and Work in Progress. I don't expect people to always agree with me but I do hope that if they don't they respect my point of view as I do theirs even though they are wrong.
When I first began listening to Rush it was, to be honest because my 89 S-10 only had an am radio in it and I needed something to keep me awake when I drove across the desert. Between him and Art Bell I was exposed to a variety of world views and abstract ideas that although entertaining didn't really cause me to radically alter my perspective on the world all that much. I've always been the type of person who likes to listen, read and dicuss issues that I don't necessarily agree with but can appreciate if they are supported by rational discourse. As the years passed I tended not to listen as much as I use to to talk radio in general because it was becoming too angry and fear based and the audio equilvilent of the crazy homeless man on the street screaming at passing cars...
At this point the war in Iraq has lasted too long to actually find any humor in it anymore. Absurd and tragically comical perhaps, but funny is not a word I would use.

Proving that, maybe the only ones that can really find any humor in the Iraq war are the people who have to live it every day of their lives...
