I have been seriously thwacked by a cold this week. Seriously. The strangest part is observing how my mind became, shall we say, feeble as the illness pressed in on me. At first there was just that extra bit of having trouble focusing, just a touch more than usual. That touch became a full on [...]

Goddamn near everything about Manticores
Penny Arcade had this comic strip today, which first led to the thought: “Hey, Manticores are a totally underutilized supernatural creature in the popular fiction of the day.”
Then the memory of just how fucking creepy The Manticore was in the first arc of Vertigo’s ongoing The Books of Magic. The first series, not any of [...]

Life Is 13 Rounds With The Champ

I mean I loved it when I was a kid… all the [...]

Why Hillary Has Already Lost

Political Junkie: The Page
As part of my duties, I have to cover the Election. Oh poor me.
Kid in a candy store, baby.
In the last major election I was all over Daily Kos, the HuffPo, and Atrios. This time out, the page I hit refresh on the most?
The Page- Time magazine’s Mark Halperin political blog. My favorite thing? How [...]
