"Power, money, persuasion, supplication, persecution -- these can lift at a colossal humbug -- push it a little -- weaken it a little over the course of a century; but only laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast.
Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand." -Mark Twain

"The political and commercial morals of the United States are not merely food for laughter, they are an entire banquet." - Mark Twain

Title:  "Drilling" Date:  9-21-2007
Notes/Comment From Sam:
	Whenever I return to a topic I've covered before, I usually peruse the earlier cartoons I've drawn on the subject. It was with frustration and sadness that I returned to the very first cartoon I did on Darfur--three years ago. That speaks to the progress--or, lack thereof--in blighted western Sudan. Since 2004, the American voice of protest has reached a fever pitch (every celebrity who's worth their salt mentions "the tragedy in Darfur"), and yet very little seems to be budging. And yet, the gushing oil and creaking pump-jacks drown out this dissent.
