The legal decision for Adbusters v. CBC just became available to read, and it’s… interesting. The case, in brief, is thus: Adbusters, which for those not aware is a public advocacy organization with an anti-consumerist bent, tried to buy advertising time on Global Television and the CBC for their “buy nothing” ads. CBC aired one […]

Pamela “Craziest Bitch On The Internet” Atlas approvingly quotes some nutbar here: The reality is that the Palestinians in the disputed territories are different from us, because the majority of them are evil. By that, I mean that the problem isn’t just their leaders and the terrorist thugs, the problem is the average person on […]

This is Firestorm. For those of you who do not know such things, Firestorm is a superhero with the power to transmute nonliving matter from one type of matter to another. So, for example, he can turn oxygen into iron, or lead into gold, or helium into plutonium, and so forth. Note that his power […]

…which has found the “Vertigo plagarism” post: I think the Civil War remix is sort of his “Rick James” moment- by that I mean it was the bit he did that was so awesome it makes everything else he does or ever will do not as good by comparison. Well, ow…

I’ve been getting a few emails recently asking me to do a few more character-based I Should Write The Legion bits, which seems fair because I’ve been concentrating a lot on plot ideas lately.

We sit in anticipation of watching 10,000 BC, which we are certain is going to be very, very bad.) ME: Okay, here we go. FLAPJACKS: I am stoked. ME: […]

ME: Hi. My phone got smashed up and I need a new phone but I don’t want to spend a lot of money. CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON (of company that shall go unnamed but which rhymes with “Bodgers”): Certainly. What’s your account status? ME: I’ve been month-to-month with you for a few years now. BODGERS: I […]

I was arguing about this at law school today with some fellow students, and I am genuinely unsure of the answer, so I am throwing it to the masses. Hello, masses! So we were arguing about taxation to begin with, which in turn led to the various costs of living in the United States and […]

The DC: The New Frontier movie is honestly pretty bad. Weak voice acting (Neil Patrick Harris is good; everyone else is mostly not), generic-looking animation that looks more like warmed-over third degree Dini/Timm models than the gorgeous Darwyn Cooke pencils from the comic, and a superhero-heavy storyline (which removes a lot of the charm of […]

With Hillary Clinton’s victories in Texas and Ohio yesterday, her campaign is trumpeting her “comeback.” Which of course takes a lot of hubris, considering Obama never led in Ohio at all and reduced thirty-point leads in both states to a less-than-ten-point decision in Ohio and a near-statistical tie in Texas’ primary (and a likely victory […]

Now that I’ve gotten over my initial impulse regarding any death (respectful nothings and maybe a joke to briefly dismiss the lingering fear of one’s own mortality), I wanted to write a little more about Gary Gygax passing.
