    • Archie vs. Pulp: Common People I've long been a fan of Pulp's song 'Common People'. A couple days ago, comic reviewer Chris Sims, in an inspired bit of silliness, set the lyrics to a bunch of altered Archie comic panels. Continuing the silliness, I spent a little time tonight combining Chris's strips with Pulp's song...enjoy! ➡

    • Clooney Comes Out Bottom line: it's not merely our right to question our government, it's our duty. Whatever the consequences. We can't demand freedom of speech then turn around and say, But please don't say bad things about us. You gotta be a grown up and take your hits. ➡

    • Towers of Light Some nice photos of the Towers of Light WTC memorial in New York. I've gotta say, as far as memorials go, this is one of the better ones I've seen, even if it is temporary. ➡

    • If we can’t torture here… The US has been secretly sending prisoners suspected of al-Qaida connections to countries where torture during interrogation is legal, according to US diplomatic and intelligence sources. Prisoners moved to such countries as Egypt and Jordan can be subjected to torture and threats to their families to extract information sought by the US in the wake of the September 11 attacks. ➡
