Back in May of last year, I posted one of my DoubleQuotes<\/strong><\/a> comparing one of the Inspire <\/em>crews’ fantasies — the “ultimate mowing machine” — with the Zeta cartel’s actual “Monster 2010”.<\/p>\n

Since then, I’ve developed a variant on the DoubleQuotes<\/strong> format I call Specs<\/strong>, which allows me to juxtapose larger images than before, so here’s a sort of follow-up to that earlier post on “Trucking: AQAP and the Zetas”.<\/p>\n

The top one is the same image of the Zeta-mobile I used last time, while the one below it shows a “bookmobile” which goes by the name of The Weapon of Mass Instruction<\/A> [link goes to the New Yorker], and which is the work of the Argentinean artist Raul Lemesoff<\/A> [link goes to YouTube].<\/p>\n
