Mike's summer daydream may be the only place we'll ever hear a thorough mea culpa from Dubya. But while mistakes have been made, lessons have been learned, even in the White House, where the Abramoff scandal inspires an official Ethics Refresher Course: "Right, good. Wrong, bad." The president seeks to clarify: "Invasions are still okay, though. Right?" And through these troubled times, how does 43 sleep at night? Alas, not well. "It's the stem cells. I hear their cries." Heckuva job.  Roland's ubiquitous epaulets have recently come home from Rummyworld, "that vast, tumultuous terrorist theme park that used to be known as Iraq." At its chaotic outer edges, in al-Amok, Proconsul Duke survives numerous assassination attempts and the alleged courting of his sidekick by Iraqi suitors. But the serious new action is in New Orleans ("Looting, graft, profiteering -- it's all about the skill set, Honey") and Team Duke, like Halliburton, embarks for the Golf Coast, and sets up a command post on a FEMA-provided cruise ship. Elsewhere on the home front a fully-prostheticized B.D. is increasingly ambulatory, yet finds the struggle to reclaim his mind and emotions is by far the harder part of his journey. The collateral casualty count continues to rise as Zonker is forced to make a traumatic foray into the job market. The option-aware Alex launches an ambitious seven-school college tour, including Walden, where she is clued to her father's unbuttoned-down past. "You were a communist?" "That communard!" When campus total-insiders Jeff and Zip give her the ultimate tour, both are smitten by gal Doonesbury's formidable charms: "So how hot is she?" "Easy, Dude, that's my future wife."… (plus d'informations)

Not much about Katrina per se, but Bush's general lack of competence. Also the continuing struggles of the greater Doonesberry family, especially B.D.'s struggles with PSTD. ( )

George W. Bush er stadig præsident og både Irak og New Orleans efterlades i syndigt rod. Alex Doonesbury overvejer kortvarigt at melde sig til hæren for at rydde op i rodet i Irak. Også lidt fordi hverveagenten sgt. Truman er ret flot. Zonker arbejder hos McFriendly burgerkæden, men overveje at læse rigdomsophobning på Trump universitetet. Han smutter også lige til Malibu for at fejre Gamle Brætsurfer, der har vundet strandadgangen ud for David Geffens ejendom. B.D. er kommet hjem med et kunstigt ben og et hoved og temperament, der er ved at eksplodere af post-traumatisk stress. Han chatter og sms'er med Ray Hightower, der stadig er i Irak og det er måske ikke nogen god ide. Familien truer/lokker ham til at kontakte Walden veterancenter, hvor en meget kompetent mand Elias tager sig af ham og stille og roligt får demonteret hans trang til selvdestruktiv adfærd. Imens forvandles Irak til Rumsland og selv Onkel Duke og Honey fortrækker fra landet, da de ser at Haliburton vender næsen hjem for at tjene meget lettere penge på Katrina og New Orleans. Karl Rove får fingrene i maskinen, da det afsløres at han har lækket en CIA-agents identitet, men han bliver belønnet af Bush. Walden får B.D. tilbage som træner og benytter sig af lejligheden til at sone sig i veterandyrkelsen. Mark Slackmeyer præsenterer Jimmy Thudpucker, der nu kalder sig James R. Thudpucker III og spiller evergreens. Zippy Harris blogger om ingenting og studerer så lidt som muligt. Duke bliver plyndret på vejen hjem, men ender alligevel med at score kassen på Katrina og navnlig FEMA's pengespild. Alex kigger på universiteter - heriblandt Walden - og J. J. afslører at hun ikke har styr på så meget.
Jeff Redfern bor hjemme og er i lære som CIA-agent. Ingen af delene passer hans forældre ret godt. Honey siger op fra Duke og bliver en del af FEMA's underholdningsshow til uddeling af ubrugelig nødhjælp. Dukes søn Earl dukker op i vældigt fint dress, for han er nu lobbyist i Washington og har genbrugt faderens gamle fup-cv til at komme ind i varmen. B.D. får en erstatning på 80000 dollars fra militæret, men han er gnaven og overvejer at returnere den. I Irak skifter missionen nu til at forhindre borgerkrig, men soldaterne spekulerer allerede i hvis side, de skal være på, hvis den alligevel bryder ud.

Glimrende tidsbillede af George W. Bushs sidste regeringstid. Saddam sidder fængslet og afventer henrettelse. Opstanden i Irak er i "de sidste krampetrækninger", iflg Cheney. ( )

The Doonesbury saga goes on, as Alex Doonesbury considers the military, is accepted by every college she applies to, and finally decides on M.I.T. B.D. is discharged from the V.A. hospital into a halfway home, and then returns home, eventually seeking V.A. counseling for his wicked post-traumatic stress disorder. Honey quits her job with Duke, again, Zonker (finally) takes a job as a waiter at a McFriendly's, and the rest of the book is the usual nicely-seasoned mix of liberal politics and humor. Over 35 years with the strip; it's been a long, strange road. ( )
