Get Your War On

Written and created by cartoonist David Rees, Get Your War on is a hysterical, patently offensive, politically charged animation series that looks like it was made from Windows clipart.

Ret. Rear Admiral Richard Butler Does it All

Wow. This guy is truly a Renaissance man. Most people his age are complete luddites. Not him, though. He just recorded a dirge for his recently-deceased friend, Captain Hornish entitled “Hornish’s Lament.”
