And this #Boondocks is a pretty accurate version of me.
Boondocks 2002-4-16 First panel: Michael Caesar "Hey, Huey. It's a nice day. Wanna play soccer?" Huey Freeman: "Games?! Who Has Time FOr Games?! I'm Researching Solutions To The Palestinian/Israeli Conflict!" Second panel: Huey turns and glares at Caesar. Third panel: Michael Caesar: "And you've been drinking 'Red Bull' again, haven't you?" Huey Freeman: "Yes I Have!!"

"Out here the gravity of discontent pulls in only one direction: to the right, to the right, further to the right." - #ThomasFrank (2004)
Not long ago, Kansas would have responded to the current situation by making the bastards pay. This would have been a political certainty, as predictable as what happens when you touch a match to a puddle of gasoline. When business screwed the farmers and the workers – when it implemented monopoly strategies invasive beyond the Populists' furthest imaginings – when it ripped off shareholders and casually tossed thousands out of work – you could be damned sure about what would follow. Not these days. Out here the gravity of discontent pulls in only one direction: to the right, to the right, further to the right. Strip today's Kansans of their job security, and they head out to become registered Republicans. Push them off their land, and next thing you know they're protesting in front of abortion clinics. Squander their life savings on manicures for the CEO, and there's a good chance they'll join the John Birch Society. But ask them about the remedies their ancestors proposed (unions, antitrust, public ownership), and you might as well be referring to the days when knighthood was in flower. — Thomas Frank, What's the Matter with Kansas? (2004), pp. 67–68

I *did* make it! (Took some blurry pictures from the back.)

Next book ideas:

"The Next American Underground Railroad Trip"?

or maybe: "Samizdat For Dummies"?

or #TheLastAmericanRoadTrip could be repackaged:

"Green Book-Ready Vacations on a Family Budget".
