Don't Say It Should Have Happened More Often
Did you know I once wrote part of a comic that the publisher chose to destroy instead of distribute? Robby Reed has the story in the landmark Dial B For Blog #300!
Apocalypse Then
In the early 1950's, evangelist Herbert W. Armstrong asked artist Basil Wolverton to create a series of horrifying scenes of the end of the world as we know it. Wolverton's work in horror and science fiction comics had prepared him well to execute this assignment in a unique and frightening way. These sixteen pieces represent some of Basil Wolverton's best work, done at the peak of his skill--contemporary with his finest horror/science fiction comic book work, and his early work for MAD magazine.Collect 'em all

Visit Beautiful Syracuse
A travel feature by Hart Seely in today's New York Times has passages like:With its concrete facade, Angotti's Family Restaurant... resembles a three-bedroom house that's been converted into a bomb shelter.
And:Across suburbia, green water can mean a fried squirrel in the pool filter. But in the expansive Green Lakes State Park... two clear green lakes get their brilliant color from limestone bedrock.
Nice work, Seely!

DaVinci Code Special: His Love Tapes
As The Da Vinci Code teaches, Jesus Christ had a lot more experience in the sack than some of us gave him credit for. But what songs did He compile on His special "for intercourse only" mixtapes? My best guesses:
• Slob On My Knob / Three 6 Mafia
• Fuck All Day Fuck All Night / DMX
• Put It In Your Mouth / Lil' Kim
• Yo Neck, Yo Back, My Dick and My Sack / Too Short
• Get Off My Dick And Tell Yo Bitch to Come Here / Ice Cube
And, of course:
• Suck My Dick Bitch / NWA
Know any others?

Jack Cafferty: "We're In Some Serious Trouble."
Video at Crooks and Liars. Transcript:
We better hope nothing happens to Arlen Specter, the Republican head of the Judiciary Committee, because he might be all that’s standing between us and a full blown dictatorship in this country. He’s vowed to question these phone company executives about volunteering to provide the government with my telephone records and yours, and tens of millions of other Americans.[Via AMERICAblog]
Shortly after 9-11, AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth began providing the super secret NSA with information on phone calls of millions of our citizens, all part of the war on terror, President Bush says.
Why don’t you go find Osama Bin Laden and seal the country’s borders and start inspecting the containers that come into our ports?
The President rushed out this morning in the wake of this front page story in USA Today and he declared the government’s doing nothing wrong and all of this is just fine.
Is it? Is it legal?
Then why did the Justice Department suddenly drop its investigation of the warrantless spying on citizens? Because the NSA said Justice Department lawyers didn’t have the necessary security clearance to do the investigation.
Read that sentence again.
A secret government agency has told our Justice Department that it’s not allowed to investigate it. And the Justice Department just says okay and drops the whole thing.
We’re in some serious trouble here boys and girls.
Here’s the question.
“Does it concern you that your phone company may be voluntarily providing your phone records to the government without your knowledge or permission?”
If it doesn’t it sure as hell ought to.

Science Corner
"If religion was based on scientific evidence, it would be called 'science.' And no one would believe it." -- Stephen Colbert
"God doesn't learn anything from experience, does He, or how could He hope anything of man? It's the scientists who add the digits and make the same sum who cause the trouble. Newton discovering gravity -- he learned from experience and after that... [i]t was only a matter of time before Lord Rutheford went and split the atom. He had learned from experience, too, and so did the men of Hiroshima." -- Graham Greene, Our Man In Havana
"No job too dirty for a fucking scientist." -- William S. Burroughs, The Western Lands

Big And Little II (Updated)
Stephen Colbert came up big at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. He said nearly everything Little Bush isn't supposed to hear, including:I believe that the government that governs best is the government that governs least, and by these standards we have setup a fabulous government in Iraq, and I believe, I believe in pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. I believe it is possible I saw this guy do it once in Cirq de Soleil -- it was magical.
Transcript and video.
And though I am a committed Christian, I believe everyone has their right to their own religion, be it Hindu, Jewish or Muslim, I believe there are infinite paths to accepting Jesus Christ as your personal lord and savior.
Ladies and gentlemen, I believe its yogurt but I refuse to believe it’s not butter.
Most of all I believe in this president, now I know there are some polls out there saying this man has a 32% approval rating, but guys like us [turns to President] we don't pay attention to the polls. We know that polls are just a collection of statistics that reflect what people are thinking [makes airquotes] in reality, and reality has a well known liberal bias.
A review from the right wing board @ Free Republic:He wasn't trying to be funny. He was taking the opportunity of being face to face with one of the greatest, kindest, most loving men on earth to shoot arrows of evil at him.
Uodate: Fox News hated it (surprise!).
In stead of being angry with Colbert last night, I should have been praying for the spiritual protection of the President and First Lady.
I confess that I didn't think of that until later, when I did pray that any wounds they may have received would be healed.
God bless them both, and protect them from the attacks of the Evil One!
A site where you can Thank Stephen Colbert.
And if you really want to read the messages left on Free Republic as it dawned on them what Colbert was doing, I put a link in the comments.
