...Annable draws characters in a drastically simplified, cartoony style with bug eyes and big noses, occasionally reducing arms and legs to sticks. But his animation experience reveals itself in the body language and movement of these black and white doodles. "Decency" has an obstinate frog taking blow after blow from a couple of rock-throwing jerks. Annable focuses on the frog for wincing effect each time a rock connects. But it's a Simpsons-like frog, laughably goofy-looking and stupid. The mix typifies the comedic irony of the whole book...

But if the militias are fading, some of their paranoid fervor lives on. Take John...
Although the commission’s attempts to improve human rights have largely been symbolic rather than substantive, the exclusion of the U.S. is a serious blow. The way to improve the commission’s inadequacies lies in regaining the trust of UN members, not in separating ourselves from them. If America does not want Sudan to set the world’s human rights policies, it has a moral obligation to work to regain its place on the commission. There will always be groups in the UN that are hostile towards America—nations like Sudan, Pakistan...
