Fantagraphics Books takes a page out of Top Shelf’s book and goes pan handling. The distributor going out of business was covered in Fantagraphics pubilcation The Comic Journal back when it happened in 2001. Top Shelf immedeately sent out an e-mail saying “if we don’t make X amount of money we’re sunk.” They made more than enough based off of the goodwill of many comic suporters, including the guy who runs CrossGen comics who dumped a couple grand into TS books. Now Fantagraphics is facing the same situation, they just delayed it. If you’re interested in helping them out, please do so by hitting their store and buying lots of comics.

Terrifying Bill Passed During NBA Playoffs
With the nation safely distracted by the NBA playoffs, Congress passed the terrifying Citizenship Redefinition And Income-Based Relocation Act of 2003 with little opposition Monday.Clinton Wants Change in Presidential Term Limits“This piece of legislation is essential, both for more efficient implementation of the New American Ideal and to give law enforcement the broad discretionary powers necessary to enforce certain vital civil and behavioral mandates,” said U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN), addressing an empty press room Sunday, midway through game four of the NBA Eastern Conference finals. “We are confident that Americans will embrace this law, should they eventually realize it has been passed.”
H.R. 2395 was introduced to Congress on May 15 during the fourth quarter of the San Antonio Spurs’ 110-82 victory over the defending-champion Los Angeles Lakers in the deciding game of the Western Conference semifinals.
Andy Guthridge of Savannah, GA, is among the estimated 240 million Americans unaware of the sweeping package of civil-liberties curtailments, voting-privilege re-qualifications, and mandatory relocation of the working poor to the Dakotas.
“Man, I was so glad to see the Lakers finally get knocked off,” said Guthridge, who was glued to TNT while the bill’s passage aired on C-SPAN. “Shaq and Kobe and the rest of those dicks have had it coming for a long time.”
Former President Bill Clinton said on Wednesday Congress should change the rule that barred him from seeking a third term in the White House, but stopped short of saying he wants to return as commander-in-chief.That’s why you bring him on as an advisor or vote for someone who runs on the same ideals.Speaking at the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum here, Clinton questioned certain aspects of the 22nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which prevents a person from being elected president more than twice.
Clinton said the amendment, passed after Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected to a record fourth term, should be changed simply to keep a person from being elected to more than two consecutive terms as president.
“I think since people are living much longer … the 22nd Amendment should probably be modified to say two consecutive terms instead of two terms for a lifetime,” Clinton said.
The former president said such a change probably wouldn’t apply to him but would benefit future generations.
“There may come a time when we elect a president at age 45 or 50, and then 20 years later the country comes up against the same kind of problems the president faced before,” he said. “People would like to bring that man or woman back but they would have no way to do so.”
