LINK: Wisdom of the Batman
Batman: “Nobody wants war.” Robin: “Gee, Batman. Belgravia’s such a small country. We’d beat them in a few hours.” Batman: “Yes, and then we’d have to support them for years.” Batman’s a better war planner than anyone in the Bush Administration apparently. Thanks to Batman Lecturing Robin.

CBC Quickees: Home Sick Edition
Can’t title these by the previous Wednesday anymore since my posting schedule and To Read pile are wildly out of sync. Been home sick most of this week, though, and have been able to cut the pile almost in half. Rocketo #1 and XIII #1 are still buried at the bottom, and I’m thinking I’ve

Don’t blame Greek culture for your inability to communicate with people in a respectful, civil manner. It’s not a Greek thing, it’s a YOU’RE A SOCIALLY MALADJUSTED IDIOT
Holy Cow!
Just finished polishing off the first draft of my first official paper of the semester, for my Schooling in America class. Like 5 minutes ago, at 1:45am, when the last of 9 pages came out of the printer. Because I tend to edit as I go along, and do most of my research as I’m
Buzzscope: Friends Like These
My latest “Establishing Shots” column is up: In my inaugural column two weeks ago, I brazenly declared Buzzscope to be “the best goddamn comic book web site around!” I qualified that statement a little bit, offering that, even if we actually aren’t yet, we will be, and went on to give some of the reasons
A Rare 2005 Political Moment

Link: Infinite Crisis 101
I’m still gathering my thoughts about Infinite Crisis #1 – didn’t love it, didn’t hate it – but thanks to Troy Brownfield’s excellent WHO WAS THAT CAPED MAN?
