review 1: Just got a copy of this. I remember reading these strips 2001-2005 or so and feeling like it was one tiny, hilarious voice of sanity in the sordid morass of the times. Today some of them read as rather dated; they were very topical and precisely attuned to what was being reported in the news at the moment. But still I'm glad to have it. As far as I'm concerned, it's an important historical document, and that's not low praise for a web comic.Also, this edition contains a fantastic, biting introduction by Matt Taibbi.
review 2: HURRAH! Read it just in time for the upcoming elections and debates, where Republican Toolism is still on display proudly and stupidly!Rees touches on things you may have forgotten in the Wall of Patriotism that was thrown at us after
... more the towers fell. The abuse of civil liberties, the rush to privatization, the insane hypocrisies of the "Operation: Enduring Freedom" (or as one character calls it in the very first comic "Operation: Enduring Our Freedom to Bomb the Living Fuck Out of You"), all the hits are here.You get quotes like "You can't make a freedom omelette without breaking a few international law eggs!" and "How did North Korea end up with nuclear weapons? Did Saddam Hussein fax them his?"Worth every goddamn second you spend reading it... less

Bitter, funny, and horrifying. Just like the Bush years. Highly recommended.
