Stormwatch?!?

      Just one question...How the hell does this work?  You're going to put a core member of the League w/ these sociopaths from the Authority?  There's no way.  It won't work.  If you are going to write these guys the way they ought to be written, then there is no way the Authority can coexist w/ the League.  I mean...look what happened for the brief moment that Capt. Atom visited the Wildstorm universe.  KABOOM!!!  If Apollo & Midnighter are true to their original mold, then the moment they take a breath will be the moment that the goodie little two shoes JLA will try and shut them down.  Don't get me wrong...a "crispy burnt toast" version of the "twerp of steel" is rather intriguing.  Won't happen, but I can dream.  Anyway...here's an idea...can we just relaunch the Wildstorm imprint and be done w/ it?  I miss the Authority, WildCats, and even Majestros.  Psychopaths...all of them.  But it was a hell of a ride.  Although one good thing does come from this.  A joke:  it appears that there are now three "manhunters" in the DC universe.  Speaking of which, I wonder if they will maintain Apollo and Midnighter's marriage?  There's a bigger spotlight aimed at DC than there was at Wildstorm. 

Gettin' Old

      Reading the latest "AICN Comics Roundtable: The @$$holes dissect DC's September Relaunch" I realized that I'm getting old.  While I am concerned about the reset/reboot, I'm more focused on digital push.  Is DC pushing for an eventual shift to digital publishing?  It's a major concern for me.  Personally, I'd rather have the actual book in my hand. 
      One of the commentators stated, "Young people are ignoring the physical and going for the digital.  In fact, they have gotten so spoiled to these little gizmos being able to store everything they could ever want that they actually actively dislike having to manhandle their media." Spoiled?  Gizmos?  I believe these are the same words that my Grandfather used when he was complaining about tech in the 80's.  80's tech!?  They were complaining about walkmans, Zach Morris cell phones, and Nintendo's.  All technologies that are way pasted antiquated.  My point is that, while the actual arguments are different, they retain the same spirit.  My concern is that I'm on the other side now.

...and then Buffy staked Edward. THE END

But here's what really happened.

It's Just One of "Those" Days

Imagine...minding your own damn business!

            So I’m surfing the web today, trying to find some local parkour videos, when I somehow stumbled upon the “Freedom From Religion Foundation.” You know…that’s actually a lie.  I just now remembered how I came upon it.  It was a news piece that was on Youtube about how some billboards, the Foundation financed, were being pulled down.  The video’s title was something like “Religion kills free speech.” You know we could debate the whole idea of free speech and that bill board, but I only have one question.  Since the anti-religion billboard came down…can we get to work on pulling the pro-religious ones down too?  I’m not going to debate the merits of either side.  I will say that both sides really annoy the hell out of me.  The Christians (and every other religion for that matter) and the Atheists need to stay the fuck out of everybody else’s lives.  Hey, you believe in a higher power!?  Well good for you.  Go to church, read your bible, sing your songs, but do it without imposing your beliefs on other people.  Leave everybody else the fuck alone!  Atheists, you don’t believe in a higher power!?  Equally, good for you.  Don’t go to church, don’t read a bible, sing whatever song you have stuck in your head, but do it without imposing your beliefs on other people. 

            “To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.” Or something like that.  I know you christians are supposed to spread the gospel, but what you really need to do is leave people alone.  Quit trying to get creationism taught in school.  School is for science, and church is for religion.  Atheists, stop bitching about “under god” in the pledge and “in god we trust” on money.  Do you really think they are going to reprint all that money?  Think about it for a second.  Imagine how massive an undertaking that would be.  Not going to happen.  The best you can hope for is that as the government panics and prints more money (oh and they will.  I can’t remember what political hack said it but he said that as long as we have paper and ink the U.S. won’t go bankrupt), they will cut corners and try to save the ink required to print that statement.  If I haven’t made my point clear, let me clarify it.  LEAVE EACH OTHER THE FUCK ALONE!  You’re a christian, good!  You’re and atheist, good!  Now shut up!

That is all

Oh yeah…one last thing.  If either one of you says that the other started it…I will smack the shit out of you!   

Now, that is all
