Damn, that was awesome. Thanks, Patrick.

I aim to please.

"...the Neo-Con Superstorm eventually blew itself out. Exactly how and why, I don't fully understand."

I submit that the Superstorm is not over. Who in their right mind would like to be president during a great financial catastrophe? Much like “there has never been a terrorist attack on GWB’s watch”, the financial apocalypse will be the result of Democratic policies.

The public is incredibly stupid; they will consume whatever they are fed, and they are fed by whoever has the money to feed them. This decade’s flavour is proto-fascist propaganda.

Finally, if you think that Obama’s words are not heavily tested in focus groups, you are in for a disappointment. I believe

"Who in their right mind would like to be president during a great financial catastrophe?"

It occurred to me during the election that the Repugs really didn't want to be holding the bag. The appearance of Sarah Palin made it very clear the the ticket existed only to pander to the twitchies who were already committed.

Of course, the notion that someone might want to sacrifice some of their own to aid their country during crisis is so completely alien to most Neocons that they could very well mistake it for a symptom of not being in one's "right mind".

Why do liberals continue to ignore the liberals in congress that created the financial mess? Do you have selective amnesia?

If you'd like to compare the record of the 110th Congress against the 109th, please be my guest. I'm dying to know what the "liberals" did to wreak so much havoc.

i just ran across your post in boing boing.

amazing, that was a great read, thank you!

I too am here via boingboing, and I couldn't agree with you more. Well said.

I have been following your work for years.

When can we expect a finish to the apocomon series? Or... you know... any of that other stuff you finished that was awesome that you never finished?

pfarley January 21 2009, 02:28:08 UTC

My plan is to finish all the outstanding novels this year -- Apocamon, Spiders, Mother of All Bombs, and the Scotty Zaccharine story. These stories are all retrospectives on the decade that's drawing to a close, I realize, so it's now or never. If I'm not able to complete them in graphical format I'll simply upload the screenplays for all to read and move on. In 2010 I'll be publishing Delta Thrives and another new series I'm developing. (I might also have a movie in the works at that time, but ssssh, it's a secret!)

Thanks! ext_140910 January 21 2009, 02:50:00 UTC

Patrick, you've always been a great artist and story teller. I'd love to see the next chapter of Apocamon. Your simple explaination of the last 8 years crosses the line from reality influencing art (as it so often does) to art influencing reality (which happens not enough).

keep it up,

We WILL hold you to this. kiplet January 21 2009, 02:56:44 UTC

We do know where you sleep, sir.
