  1. Ask Chris #34: Beyond Jack Kirby’s Fourth World and the Secrets of the Batcave – ComicsAlliance | Comics culture, news, humor, commentary, and reviews<\/a> – Of absolutely no interest to anyone but comics geeks.<\/li>\n
  2. Imagine if every cover of Batman looked like these<\/a> – I will confess that (a) I admittedly enjoy a small but tasty slice of cheesecake in my comic artwork, and (b) the author has a point.<\/li>\n
  3. Explaining cat owners<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Why We Are Angry at the TSA<\/a> – “As the holidays approach, conservatives livid over the new procedures might take a moment during the humiliating inconvenience of a virtual strip search or TSA grope session to think about what indefinite detention in an island prison or a week of forced sleep deprivation feels like. The peril of provoking mass panic every time an incompetent terrorist lights himself on fire might become more apparent.”<\/li>\n
  5. Scapegoating Federal Workers<\/a> – “For the last few decades, conservatives have waged a war on unions, one that has been largely successful. In the 1950s, a third of private-sector workers belonged to a union. Today, only 7.2 percent of the private-sector workforce is unionized. Government is the last substantially unionized sector in the American economy, a place where people who do the public’s work can get a good salary, good benefits, and job security. And that’s the real reason they’ve become the right’s latest target.”<\/li>\n
  6. Freezing Netanyahu<\/a> – Would be nice if it were so.<\/li>\n
  7. ThinkProgress \u00bb GOP Judges Write Senators Asking Them To Stop Obstructing President Obama\u2019s Judges<\/a><\/li>\n
  8. Pope Says Condom Use Okay For Male Prostitutes<\/a> – This is going to be interesting to watch — whether the comment is pulled back, or if it’s claimed it was misinterpreted, or how it will play out.<\/li>\n
  9. TSA pat-down leaves traveler covered in urine – Travel – News – msnbc.com<\/a> – But don’t we all feel safer?<\/li>\n
  10. Bankruptcy court approves Claim Jumper sale to Landry\u2019s Restaurants | 89.3 KPCC<\/a> – Just noticed that the one here in Lone Tree \/ Highlands Ranch (Quebec\/470) is shuttered.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
