Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Pokemon’s Ten Most Disturbing Pokedex Entries – ComicsAlliance | Comic book culture, news, humor, commentary, and reviews<\/a> – I’m tempted to ask Katherine about these … but maybe it’s just as well I don’t.<\/li>\n
  2. Marvel Comic Family Trees<\/a> – Delightful.<\/li>\n
  3. We’re ‘broke,’ but can apparently afford school vouchers<\/a> – “But I’m most struck by Boehner’s tearful, emotional appeal. Watching him yesterday, one might be tempted to think he genuinely cares about children and quality education. I obviously can’t read the Speaker’s mind, but there’s reason for skepticism — while Boehner wants to spend $20 million of our money on private school tuition, he also supports brutal cuts to Head Start, Pell grants, Title I grants (which help schools with kids who live in poverty), and nutritional aid for pregnant women and women with young children, among other things.”<\/li>\n
  4. Palling around with ‘an international terrorist’<\/a> – “There’s even a video of Graham shaking hands with the international terrorist. If the South Carolina senator wanted to try to strangle the monster right there on the spot, instead of talking about U.S. aid to the guy, that was his chance.”<\/li>\n
  5. The dumbest proposed constitutional amendment of all time<\/a> – “Those who want a balanced budget amendment should make plain how they’d balance the budget. Otherwise, the scheme is just a silly, cynical charade.”<\/li>\n
  6. Dwayne McDuffie on \u201cthe Rule of Three\u201d<\/a> – McDuffie’s death was a sad loss to the comic book world.<\/li>\n
  7. Rep. Trent Franks Warns \u2018I Don\u2019t Know That The Country Can Survive\u2019 If President Obama Is Reelected<\/a> – If Obama is a “left-wing ideologue of the first magnitude,” I sure wish he’d actually show it sometimes.<\/li>\n
  8. Issa\u2019s Response To ThinkProgress Raises More Questions About His Financial Interest In $1 Million Earmark<\/a> – Ever hear the one about Caesar’s wife, Darrell?<\/li>\n
  9. Hate Pastor Terry Jones Quietly Goes Through With Quran Burning Plan \u2014 And Chaos Erupts In Afghanistan<\/a> – I wish this were an April Fool’s post, but it’s not. While the murderous, ignorant yahoos (and the religious bigots who goaded them on) have the most proximate blood on their hands, that doesn’t leave Jones off the hook for giving in to either his own bigotry, or his own desire for fame, regardless of the consequences. Well, there are the consequences, Jones — are you happy you were able to flush some murderous Muslims into the open, or do you feel any guilt over how your provocation contributed these deaths?<\/li>\n
  10. Greg Weisman on Young Justice’s 2nd Season<\/a> – Been enjoying this series a lot. Good to hear that it’s been picked up for a second season (or so).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
