While the ISG’s report has immediately resulted in a positive outcome by forcing the President to flirt with alternative strategies, this plan is strategically flawed in its imposition of an arbitrary deadline and in its general simplicity.

But however ardently they flirt with profundity, Chast's cartoons are always rooted in the regular humiliations of daily life. Earlier this year, a cartoon came to her full blown, right on the sofa where she's sitting for this interview. Her daughter was doing her homework and listening to a CD.
