What must have started as an appeal to street-wise pacifists, SOMBJAF thrives as hipper-than-thou funkadelia and constitutes the wittiest attack on U.S. arms policy since Tom Lehrer. A solid achievement when you recall that, at high voltages, Clinton has been known to inflict minor seismic damage.

Victims suffer not only from severe injuries but also from survivor guilt, depression and a form of weary aimlessness born of disorientation, sleeplessness and recurrent nightmares. Fear of authorities is so deep that almost any kind of bureaucratic delay can panic...
