I think your link is off by 1, there.

The comic strip you probably intended to link to is at [http://sinfest.net/d/20020531.html](http://sinfest.net/d/20020531.html) , not [http://sinfest.net/d/20020530.html](http://sinfest.net/d/20020530.html) .

(Although I like the one you **did** link to better. 😉 )

The complete text of _1984_, as well as other books which have become public domain, can be found [here](http://www.online-literature.com/).

QueenAl: the bit is from a Chapter 20 speech made by O’Brien that ends:

Charming. And it puts those communist threads on GD in perspective.
