The sad thing is that the “women earn 72% of what a man earns for the exact same job” factoid is peddled by professors of women’s studies who earn the same amount as for a professor of something useful like astronomy.

Wind Power’s Greatest Danger is Profitability
Painful debate tonight, just because I hate hearing the candidates accepting the stupid premises of the average joes in the town hall style forum. I would have preferred that Mitt Romney say, “If business owners can really hire a woman to do the exact same work for only 72% of a man’s wages, then women…
Did the Democrats ever apologize for creating the KKK?
Back circa 1865-1875, the Republican party and America’s black population shared a renaissance. The Republican party, having prevailed in the Civil War (and with most of the Democrats in the South out of power while Reconstruction began), passed the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments, along with a score of civil rights laws banning segregation and…
A short bit about FoxNews
I was posting this in reply to yet another Facebook post by somebody else about FoxNews as though it’s a joke of a network and mocked the “Fair and Balanced” slogan as all are wont to do in such posts… and I didn’t want to lose it. It’s certainly not an “everything that can be…
My Favorite Chuck Dixon Stories: Birds of Prey #7
Over on Chuck Dixon’s web site, he has a messageboard thread about his 100 best stories (in the opinion of his readers). These are my contributions to that thread. Most comic book writers, if they want to bring up politics, just have the character that they like spout their politics. Case in point: Angel O’Dare…
Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
Yes, this blog sucks. The stupid default theme has nothing to do with comic books. I haven’t really posted much in…wow…the last year. Our podcast links seem to need repair. So…I have been studying WordPress themes, and I am hoping to implement a new one this next week.
Few look good in a Superman uniform
Let’s face it… few really have the right figure to pull off a Superman uniform properly. Certainly, most comic fans don’t. I’ve never dressed up as a superhero for a convention because I don’t know anyone who can make me a Bouncing Boy costume. Sigh. Now enjoy 25 Not So Super Supermen.
It’s Uncanny, This Valley: The Ups And Downs Of Cinematic CGI InHumanity | Pajiba: Reviews, News, Quotes & Cultural Commentary
I love this quote: “Caesar will always look computer generated in the same way Roger Rabbit will always be a cartoon, but his face expresses more genuine human emotion than James Franco ever will.” via It’s Uncanny, This Valley: The Ups And Downs Of Cinematic CGI InHumanity
Doctor Who’s 50th Anniversary
Maybe my math is off, but a show that debuted at the tail end of 1963 should be two years away from an anniversary. Still, I always loved Doctor Who when I was growing up, and I don’t mind it getting some hype. I suppose it’s “hipster” of me to be a little resentful of…
We all know why Green Lantern failed
I think it’s pretty clear to everyone that Green Lantern tried to do too much and pack in too much exposition. But just in case you haven’t heard it enough: Why Iron Man Succeeded Where Green Lantern Failed.
