Morning Bits

Here's what happens when somebody lets the ESPN staff loose on Harry Potter. No spoilers here, but I recommend not letting the kids read this one. Link via The Leaky Cauldron.

Also via the Leaky Cauldron, NASA approves of Hermione's Astronomy in Harry Potter. Another good essay, and with no major spoilers for Order of the Phoenix.

A cartoon called "Something Postive" has a short arc about the DC Role-Playing Game. Click the Next Comic link at the bottom to see the story progress. The Disney HeroClix cartoon is also pretty funny, and you'll see it if you keep clicking. Link courtesy of The Captain.

Todd Nauck, former artist on the lamented comic book Young Justice, has a new series out. WildGuard is a mix between your standard team hero book and American Idol. Fans can vote on which heroes they like the most during the series. WildGuard debuts in September, but profiles of some of the would-be heroes are up now on the website.

Daily Kos has put the full text of the editorial up, with a tiny bit of commentary. And here's why you can't find WMD on the internet.
