Anything we want! (Tuesday, April 22)



I wanted to search for a light-hearted, or only semi serious cartoon or comic about war. Instead, I found this. I am a big fan of motivationals, and even more so of demotivationals.

According to The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Hubris means "Overbearing pride or presumption; arrogance". The word hubris in this poster is likely referring to the Bush Administration's lack of willingness to admit/explain that they were mistaken about the Iraq War.

I really enjoy not only your picture, but your relation of it to the bush administration; I think that you hit right on in this respect. I also think your picture was a very nice choice for this assignment because it really relates to our class in a powerful way. This photo gives very strong message without being too vulgar in it's statement; something that anti-war photos tend to illustrate, which can be semi-frightening/off putting.
