[Note: Mild political humor and political content.] Frustrated by a billion-dollar-a-day failed war, I posted a meme I created on Facebook in a group feature political cartoons.  Within 48 hours it was "liked" TEN THOUSAND TIMES with hundreds of comments and "shares." In this (rare) political show I explain why.
