  1. San Diego Comic-Con to Remain in San Diego Through 2015 – ComicsAlliance | Comics culture, news, humor, commentary, and reviews<\/a> – Good to hear. We probably won’t be back next year, but we’ll be back.<\/li>\n
  2. Banned Book Week: The 7 Most Ridiculous Reasons For Banning Books, 2009-2010 – ComicsAlliance | Comics culture, news, humor, commentary, and reviews<\/a> – In most cases, I have to say that these sorts of bans and ban attempts say more about the censor than about the material they try to get rid of.<\/li>\n
  3. Claremont Institute Tells TPM O’Donnell’s 2002 Resume Listed Oxford University | TPMDC<\/a> – Wow. Just … wow. I guess I can, without any qualms, call her flat-out a liar. Liar, liar, liar, lying to make her look more edumacated, lying to cover up the lying, lying about lying about the lying … stupid likes compounding stupid lies. Not even fancy political lies, but dirty little personal lies. Just one big liar. And, of course, she’s the GOP candidate for US Senator from Delaware.<\/li>\n
  4. Joe. My. God.: Sen. Saxby Chambliss Just Called Me To Offer His “Sincerest Apologies”<\/a> – I am impressed as I can be by Chambliss apology and reaching out. There were a lot of less gracious or positive ways he could have handled this even if he felt politically compelled to do something about the matter. It doesn’t make me feel any better about his politics, and I don’t expect it will change his politics, but I am nonetheless pleased by this.<\/li>\n
  5. And This Helps … How? Schlafly Pens Statement of Support for Webster<\/a> – Grayson played dirty pool with misquoting Webster in his ad. On the other hand, given the folks that Webster has defending him and his position, maybe the shoe fits. Schlafly and Fischer seem like they would perfectly with the Taliban mind-set.<\/li>\n
