In case you missed this powerful cry in the televised wilderness. Eight and a half minutes that every American should watch and, more importantly, listen to.

Cartoon Callout

I received the following e-mail today about today's cartoon:

I have been searching for the text of his letter and cannot find it. It must be pretty whiny for you to call him out like this. Do you have a link to it or just the text? I would appreciate it, as would many others.

Updated SILK ROAD TO RUIN Book Tour Schedule: NYC Date Added

The following dates remain on my book tour. Other cities will be added as information becomes available.

I will present an audio-visual overview of the current situation in ex-Soviet Central Asia and why it matters to all Americans, followed by a Q&A discussion and, obviously, book signing. Although the emphasis will be on SILK ROAD TO RUIN, we expect to have copies of my upcoming cartoon collection AMERICA GONE WILD (official publication date: October 15) available at these events as well.

Saturday 11/4, 2 pm - Books & Co. at The Greene, 4453 Walnut Street, Beavercreek, Ohio

Wednesday 12/6, TBD - Barnes and Noble Greenwich Village, 396 Ave of the Americas at 8th Street, New York City

Portland and San Francisco - Pending

DON'T SEE YOUR CITY LISTED?

Generally speaking I do signings in cities under one of two conditions: (1) it has a newspaper that regularly publishes my work and can be counted upon to publicize the event or (2) an organization can support my visit with paid publicity, an travel expenses and honorarium. So the best ways to get me to come to your city are to convince your local editor to publish my work or find a college, peace group, etc. to organize the shindig.

I am currently working on dates in San Francisco, Portland (OR) and Los Angeles. There are no plans at this time to come to any other city to support SILK ROAD, but if you'd like me to come and think you can hook up one of the two requisites to make my appearance worth the effort for everyone involved, drop me a line at chet@rall.com.
