  1. Favorite Cover Artist Countdown # 3: Jack Kirby<\/a> – 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.<\/li>\n
  2. Teaser Trailer: \u2018Cowboys & Aliens\u2019<\/a> – Okay, this looks like 11 kinds of awesome.<\/li>\n
  3. Special Ed Teacher Stalked, Harrassed By Right-Wing Creeps | The New Republic<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Military’s religious exemption wrong (OneNewsNow.com)<\/a> – 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?<\/li>\n
  5. Appropriations panel loses its luster – POLITICO.com Print View<\/a> – But who will bell the cat? It’s easy to campaign on cutting spending — it’s hard to actually take a stand on doing so.<\/li>\n
  6. Pat Robertson\u2019s Group Demands Investigation Of Muslim Congressional Staffers Based On Misleading Fox Report<\/a> – If my eyes rolled any more vigorously, they would take on gyroscopic properties.<\/li>\n

  8. Magazine That Stole Writer’s Story Likely Shutting Down; Blames Writer<\/a> – Bullies and frauds always resort to portraying themselves as the victim …<\/li>\n
  9. Sarah Palin Says She Could Beat Obama In Presidential Race<\/a> – Part of me wants her to run and have the GLORIOUS outcome of her dragging the GOP back into the marginalized extremist minority that it deserves to be. Part of me is terrified that she would actually win.<\/li>\n
  10. Christian Leader Says Medal Of Honor Is \u201cFeminized\u201d Because Recipient Didn\u2019t Kill People<\/a> – In the interest of not losing another half hour of my life to counter-screeding Bryan Fischer, I’ll just note that he’s a dolt and move on. (Rrrrrrrg … (But … goddammit, saving lives is BAD? Killing people is GOOD? What the hell do you make of Matthew 26:52, you cretin?
