Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Favorite Cover Artist Countdown # 3: Jack Kirby – There are a lot of things I didn’t (and don’t) like about Kirby — but “iconic” is far too shallow a word for his art and influence over comic books.

- Special Ed Teacher Stalked, Harrassed By Right-Wing Creeps | The New Republic
- Military’s religious exemption wrong (OneNewsNow.com) – Why do I STRONGLY suspect that if the question was accommodation for Christian symbols and beliefs, these critics would be all gung-ho over it?

- Pat Robertson’s Group Demands Investigation Of Muslim Congressional Staffers Based On Misleading Fox Report – If my eyes rolled any more vigorously, they would take on gyroscopic properties.

(Rrrrrrrg … (But … goddammit, saving lives is BAD? Killing people is GOOD? What the hell do you make of Matthew 26:52, you cretin? And, even for bizarro rhetorical accepting your position, just for the sake of argument, WTF is wrong with “feminization,” you ass? Rrrrrggg ….)
