Newsarama does an interview with Phil Foglio in which he discusses the change from the regular comic format to webcomics with collections.
I took a blogger survey, just because I'm sure if enough comics bloggers take it, we can skew the results.

Aaron Williams on Global Frequency. Seems like everyone has seen the pilot now.
Interesting bit about trolls on message boards from Rampage: "restriction of venue is not restriction of speech" attributed to Kurt Busiek. To an extent I can agree with that. As long as the venue you are being restricted from is private, and not public: ie a privately run message board or website.

William Powell, author of The Anarchist Cookbook, has renounced the book on Amazon.com. Via Bookslut. Out of curiousity, I checked to see if the King County Library System has the book. There are four copies. Two are lost, one is missing, and the last copy is apparently able to be checked out, but has a really odd location. No, I didn't put it on hold. I don't really want to read it.
Bookslut also warns us about inquiries to libraries from law enforcement officials. I wonder if my query about The Anarchist Cookbook puts me on a list somewhere?
Take It To Karl: a blog devoted to all our liberal servicemen and women who Rove insulted recently. Rove refuses to apologize for his slanderous remarks.
And, because of Rove's insults, FilkerTom is Mad As Hell, and He's Not Going To Take This Anymore. I absolutely agree with him.
The Slippery Slope To Mass Murder. If you didn't read it the other two times I linked to it, read it now.
Identify the speaker of this quote: "The administration should clarify its intent in [the war]. People lack confidence in the credibility of our government... It's a difficult thing today to be informed about our government even without all the secrecy. With the secrecy, it's impossible. The American people will do what's right when they have the information they need."

Answer: (select to read)Bush criticizing President Clinton, 1999(end). Via Political Wire.
A couple of thoughts from Tom Tomorrow: Gulags and Just Like Houston (because DeLay said that Houston is just as bad as Baghdad).
A former Republican speaks out. I don't believe the current leadership of the Republican party are actually Republicans. I don't know what to call them, but they hold almost no true Republican views or values. I've taken to calling them Rethuglicans to distinguish them from real Republicans, but maybe someone has a less provocative name?
Mark Evanier on Flag Burning.
Tom Peyer directs us to Iraq War Posters. Some are good. Some... aren't.
As amusing as I find Operation Yellow Elephant, I don't think parents who support the war should be 'sending their kids' to enlist. No, I think that IF THEY TRULY SUPPORT THE WAR they should be encouraging their children to enlist, but no parent has the right to 'send' a child to war. In fact, I think it's the parents who should be enlisting. If they really support the war. We have a severe troop shortage, and if someone really believes that this war is Just, and not an evil exercise in greed by the Rethuglican leadership, then that person should sign up for the military immediately. The fact that the College Republicans wouldn't even let an ad suggesting they sign up for duty be put in their program shows me that they are a bunch of hypocrites. They claim to support the war, but only as long as someone else is doing the dirty work and risking death. Cowards.
