So now the government wants us to spy on each other. Great. Thankfully the Postal Service has said that none of their employees will be taking part in this grand adventure. And that’s a smart move on their part. I mean, hey, guess what, now you’re not only an under appreciated civil servant but you’re a spy too! Neat! Watch out for that Anthrax…

Paul Anderson has signed on to direct the long time in production Aliens vs. Predator. And it’s about damn time there was some movement on this movie.

Morocco Invades Spain!

Morocco Chews on Spain’s Parsley Island

The arrival of 12 Moroccan soldiers Friday on a tiny island inhabited only by goats set off an international incident this weekend, with Spain claiming the Rabat administration had made a serious challenge to its sovereignty. The “invasion” of Isla de Perejil (Parsley Island), 200 yards from the Moroccan mainland, led Spain to dispatch gunboats, submarines, and attack helicopters; caused the president of the European Commission to warn the Moroccan prime minister that a protracted occupation would have “pernicious consequences” for his country’s relations with Europe; and escalated to a war of words between the European Union and the Arab League. According to Spain’s El País, a Moroccan spokesman called Spain’s reaction “totally disproportionate.”

‘I plead guilty,’ Taliban American says

The 21-year-old American who fought last year with the Taliban in Afghanistan pleaded guilty Monday to two charges in an agreement with U.S. prosecutors that could keep him in prison for 20 years.

In exchange, prosecutors agreed to drop other charges, including conspiracy to murder U.S. citizens, that could have kept John Walker Lindh in prison for life. White House officials said President Bush personally approved the arrangement.

The announcement surprised most observers, including District Judge T.S. Ellis, and was made public as court officials were preparing to hear arguments from Walker Lindh’s attorneys that statements he made to the FBI, military officials and the news media should be thrown out.

Walker Lindh pleaded guilty to serving in the Taliban army and carrying weapons in doing so. Ellis still has to approve the deal; formal sentencing is set for October 4.

Unfortunately this still leaves open the debate as to whether the government unjustly violated Lindh’s rights by interrogating him without an attorney present and what not. Though, I guess the plus side is the charges he confessed to did not step from those interrogations.

“Shock The Monkey”

The man weilding the gun spun around all wide eyed and in love and pointed his beautiful instrument of affection in my general direction (no, not THAT instrument, you sicko). And, as lovely as the gesture was, I simply was not in the mood that evening.

So I kicked the guy in the nuts.

See, the ideal lasting effect of such a move is that every time this guy thinks about mugging he’ll have a pain in his balls.

That and every time he watches television and there’s something about President George W. Bush he’ll have a pain in his balls as well.

On account of my Bush mask and all.

You’d think I was a Democrat, making all these people hurt when they think about President Bush.

With the new Millennium came new heroes - its just no one counted on them being like this. After Millennium Man’s fall from grace and Mysteria’s disappearance, a new kind of hero rises up to defend Pacific City.

From the mind of HEROES’ own Jason Kenney comes “Bush43″, a superhero epic like no other.

Out now from AC.

Yep, folks, go check out my new series and my first long term foray into original serial fiction. It’s a silly little run I’m messing with and I’m actually pretty far ahead on the writing side of things. Issues 1-6 are done with a tenative #7 waiting for me to second guess and a beginning for #8 as well. Wow, I’ve never been this far ahead on ANYTHING!

I need to find a place to host a picture so I can reference it here for my new design. Anyone willing to store a small picture on a steady server for me? (I’d do it at Digitally Mystic where I have a site and all but I don’t know how to log into the new server, I suck.)

Friday Five (.org) Been a long time since I did one of these… (NOTE: This is last week’s, July 5th, but I’ll keep it here anyway.)

1. Where are you right now? Sitting at work, killing time until nine when I have to start doing the stuff I get paid to do.

2. What have you lost recently? I lost a freakin’ $20 bill the other week and it really pissed me off because I needed that money. Oh well.

3. What was the first CD you ever purchased? Does that embarrass you now? I forget, really, and I forget the name of the group that was the first CD I ever picked up. It was a freebie at some music store, some college band. They were okay. Wait, I remember now. Well, I didn’t buy it, but the first CD that was MINE was Michael Jackson’s Dangerous. And, yes, I’m embarrassed as hell about it.

4. What is your favorite kind of writing pen? Anything with a really fine point, preferably ball point. My handwriting’s so small that those felt-tip things look like shit.

5. What is your favorite ice cream flavor? Either rocky road, cookies and cream or mint chocolate chip, as long as it’s cold and sweet.

Sesame Street to introduce HIV-positive Muppet

Sesame Street will soon introduce its first HIV-positive Muppet character to children of South Africa, where one in nine people have the virus that can lead to AIDS.

The upbeat female Muppet will join “Takalani Sesame” on September 30 for its third season on the South African Broadcasting Corp.

Very cool, Sesame Street’s probably one of the best places to try and educate children about the risks and HIV. Now if you could only educate the adults…

Mom: Girl Has No Problem With Pledge

The 8-year-old girl whose father successfully sued to have the Pledge of Allegiance declared unconstitutional has no problem with reciting the pledge at school, her mother said Thursday.

“I was concerned that the American public would be led to believe that my daughter is an atheist or that she has been harmed by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, including the words ‘one nation under God,’” Sandra Banning said in a statement. “We are practicing Christians and are active in our church.”

Banning never married Michael Newdow, the third-grader’s father and the atheist behind the pledge lawsuit. She has full custody of the girl, which Newdow is challenging in court.

So, wait, this guy who doesn’t even have partial custody of his daughter (at the moment) sues the government IN HER NAME to change something she doesn’t mind? I mean, it’d be one thing if he had custody and was even trying to raise his girl athiest, but he doesn’t even have a say over anything having to do with her, what the hell? Yes, that does not change the question on the Constitutionality of the issue, but how can a man who has no responsibility for a person sue in their name? Just like my father couldn’t take out insurance on me when my mother had full custody, he shouldn’t be able to use my name in legal discourses unless it’s to call me as a witness. Wow, what a way to manipulate the system. (Howard Bashman brought this to Glenn Reynolds’s attention where I picked up on it.)

From pages of comic books, a superhero proves it’s OK to be who you are

I just found out Ben is Jewish. Though truth is, I always suspected he was.

Granted, the evidence was inconclusive, nothing that would hold up in court. Still, there was that name, Benjamin Jacob Grimm, which invokes not one, but two, Jewish patriarchs. Then, there was the fact that he was from Manhattan’s Lower East Side, to which so many Jewish immigrants came fresh from Ellis Island. And finally, there was just something about him, something in his pugnacity, fatalism and humor, that struck me as characteristically Jewish.

And maybe you’re wondering why I didn’t just ask the guy.

Well, I couldn’t because he does not, technically speaking, exist.

Ben Grimm was created by writer Stanley Lieber and artist Jacob Kurtzberg - two men of Jewish heritage who worked professionally as Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. In 1961, they produced a comic book called the “Fantastic Four,” about a man whose limbs could stretch to preposterous lengths, a teenager who could become a creature of living fire, a woman who could make herself invisible, and Ben - “the Thing,” a monstrous creature with rocky orange skin.
