Phony Soldiers
Good God, Limbaugh. You said “phony soldierS“, not SOLDIER. This is as big a slap in the face of the military as the Patraeus ad from MoveOn.org. I am concerned that the Democrats in the senate will try another resolution, though. We need to stop wasting valuable time in the … Continue Reading Phony Soldiers
There’s Nothing We Can Do…
About racism. At least according to Bill O’Reilly (and to be fair, eliminating prejudice entirely is probably unlikely). I heard him say that on hour 2 of the O’Reilly Factor Radio show. This was actually a lead up to his statements that blacks, surprisingly, run a restaurant exactly like us white … Continue Reading There’s Nothing We Can Do…
It Strikes Me as Odd.
There are characters that I really like. Yet I do not read any of their regular exploits. Take Superman, for instance. When it comes to Superman (and really, Batman as well), I tend to read specific specials and mini series. I like the Superman concept. I like that he stands … Continue Reading It Strikes Me as Odd.
Is Green Arrow DC’s Kenny*?
Just askin’. (*You know…Kenny from South Park)
More Jena 6: It’s Just a Little Fun!!!
“I swear officer, can’t people take a little joke?!” Grumble…
Apparently, The Industry Needs Fans…
I think people are missing the point. The statement that really intrigued me was the one that noted that TV, movies, music and so on do not demand that the people who purchase their products shill for them. Of course they do not demand it. They don’t have to. People … Continue Reading Apparently, The Industry Needs Fans…
The Ones That Want To Hurt You Work Within The Law…
And what is it with police tasering people lately? It seems like police are taser happy. Hey, you shoot someone full of electricity, they might start to move spaztically. MSNBC was showing footage of a group of cops using a tazer on a young woman as she scrambled on the … Continue Reading The Ones That Want To Hurt You Work Within The Law…
Arrrg!!!!
I finally was able to get my scanner working after three months and then we had a power outtage this afternoon (which is bizarre, because at no point during any of the severe storms in the last two months did we lose any power). Apparently that was to much for … Continue Reading Arrrg!!!!
You Know…That General Petraeus Ad?
Yeah, it was dumb. Yeah…it was uncreative, but that is hardly new for Moveon.org. The fact is, creativity has never been their strong point. Was it disgusting and an insult to the military? Nope. That’s way beyond overstatement and moves in whining Mr. President. In fact, the ad was not … Continue Reading You Know…That General Petraeus Ad?
There In Spirit…
Today, folks are wearing black to send a message that Un-Equal Justice is unacceptable. I wanted to put out this reminder (thanks to ROG for mentioning it a couple days ago in comments!) this morning. I can’t be there in body, but I am wearing black to show unity with … Continue Reading There In Spirit…
Now This Looks Good…
I am very interested in seeing Juno after this trailer. What a solid cast!
Hey Hollywood…
I am totally available for this gig. As long as my Sober Buddy is not Danny Boneduce. I don’t want to get beat up for saying, “Gee, maybe we should not go into that bar at two in the afternoon and get hammered, Danny.”
Wow…Barry Manilow Is A Coward…
Who knew?
The Religious Nature Of Comics Fandom
Clearly, this is an indisputable fact!!!! It’s very clear that like in Christianity where you are either for God or against God…in fandom you are for Marvel or against them. You are either for DC or Against them. And if you are lukewarm? Either side will will spit you out. … Continue Reading The Religious Nature Of Comics Fandom
Jena Six: Some Good News…
This is a start.
My Comic Book History, Part 5
In 1995, I stumbled on to the first issue of this comic Preacher. I was intrigued, a comic with a Preacher for the protagonist? That just was not common. But that first issue was…unexpected. You had Jesse Custer, the titular Preacher, who was depressed, in a job he really wanted … Continue Reading My Comic Book History, Part 5
