I was on the Tony Isabella message board when this matter came to my attention about one of the abuses of the Patriot Act. A man is taken away from his family and life, left rotting in jail, with no due process whatsoever, leaving the family destitute in more ways than one. They've set up this website to detail what's going on and how to help.
To any government types looking for terrorists and subvervises (or anyone else, for that matter): If I am wrong for any reason, if Ashraf Al-Jailani has done anything besides be Muslim or Arab, please let me know.

Evan Dorkin announces that Slave Labor Graphics is reprinting his Bill and Ted comic that he did for Marvel.
And Johnny Bacardi talks about discovering the comic.
This is the comic that introduced me to Evan Dorkin, even got me into collecting most everything else he does. One of the few pieces of original art I own is a page from Bill and Ted, with the line where Bill is asking "Does this happen to Wayne and Garth?" about the same time the Wayne's World movie came out. Interesting trivia bit: I noticed that "Wayne and Garth" were over a whited-out part. Looking at the other side of the page, I could make out the original version had Van Halen mentioned.

The pulse has a copy of Cartoon Network's press release of 2004 programming, including Justice League morphing into Justice League Unlimited, a new series by the Japan pop duo that sings the Teen Titans theme Puffy AmiYumi, and a new series by Judd Winick, further reducing the chances of more Adventures of Barry Ween, Boy Genius.

Mark Evanier was wondering what was going to happen with Clear Channel kicking Howard Stern off their stations. Well, they have their store-bought lapdogs Bob and Tom to keep things funny on a sanitized level.
More fun from a government entity that wasn't elected telling us what we can and can't do. Like Dubya.

With all the back and forth over what Dubya has proposed, I thought it would be beneficial to look at the proposed amendments (Disclaimer for the humor and satire impaired: despite the address, I believe it is satirical). And here's more info from the definite source of the definition of marriage.
I hope to have more to say on this matter, meanwhile, check out dis and dat where I've talked about it before.
Update: Actually, after thinking about it, those links above pretty much cover it. But I forgot this link, also. And, as John Stewart said on the February 24th edition of The Daily Show, the last time an amendment was put in restricting something, it was Prohibition, and you know how well that went. The problem disappeared, and it became known as the Sober '20s.
Update Updated: Wil Wheaton posted his thoughts on the matter. I'll be adding good links as I encounter them, so keep checking this entry for the next day or two.
Here's one debunking marriage myths.

Mike Sterling posted a scan of the cover of Superboy #189. His comments were more about the comics atmosphere at the time that brought about the cover story, while mine are more personal.
About a couple of years after it was published, after years of hoping and dreaming, our family finally was going down to Orlando Florida to go to Disney World. Fortunately, my Aunt Bertina lived down there with her family, which included cousin Steve Gray (or Stevie Gray, hoping he finds it via a Google Search) who had some comics, one of them was this very issue.
Not being much for the horror genre at the time, the story was nonetheless entralling. It dealt with a Kent ancestor who sentenced a man for stealing a loaf of bread for his starving family until he was "dead...DEAD...DEAD!!!" (that part sticks in my mind) who had a curse placed on him by the man before hung of him and every Kent ancestor being killed by hanging every 50 years. And as with stories of that nature, freak hanging accidents plague the male Kent ancestors every 50 years. Guess what anniversary it is in the story? The rest of the story deals with keeping Pa Kent from being hung for the rest of the day, where if it doesn't happen, the curse is beaten for 50 years.
The next few times we visited, I always looked for that issue to read. It was something of a security blanket, and interesting story. I had thought about asking cousin Stevie about buying it from him, but never followed up on that. The comic was one of the strong memories of that first trip, along with the DC Slurpee Cups that I tried collecting.

Superhero Hype is relaying this report that Ken Watanabe is Ra's Ah Ghul in the next Batman movie.
