Neo-con fantasies

Rick Salutin's latest column (behind the Globe and Mail firewall, but available free through Rabble) and the most recent Tom the Dancing Bug cartoon complement each other nicely.

Salutin takes a hatchet to the loathsome David Frum, who apparently still doesn't get that his big ideas when it came to democracy in Iraq could have anything to do with the reality of thousands of people being killed every month. (Mark Allan Stamaty's "Boox" cartoon of Frum from February 2003 is a more hilarious send-up of Frum -- who is cited as author of two of the three words in the phrase "Axis of evil").

Tom the Dancing Bug takes us into the world of Nate the Neoconservative, who returns from work at the end of the day to the wrong house. He refuses to allow the reality to intrude into his own notion of where he is, and blames everyone around him for the ensuing chaos.

Both are worth a look.
