Salam Pax reports that G, his friend and fellow blogger, was beaten by US troops. His article in The Guardian is also expressing disgust at how Iraqis are being treated.
Fascinating article on the Insolvent Republic of Blogistan about ectogenesis, or artificial wombs. The argument eventually turns to abortion, and I may have to write a long entry on what I think of it sometime, if anyone expresses interest. But of more interest to me, as a person who has a potential problem with her womb, is the possibility of a baby being able to live if my womb should fail. While I'm not at high risk, stories like this do make me breathe a little easier.
Am I the only one who thinks Mark Evanier is now losing his mind over the Dick Van Dyke comic book?
Mark Evanier also has some more nonsense from Texas up. In this case, it tells of some schools that had "zero dropouts". Yep. Pull the other one.
Heh. Yoda am I. What character do you be, hmmm?
Powers #33: So, we were promised that the... odd... story in Powers #31 would be worth it. I'm thinking that maybe Bendis is delivering. Yeah, I'm still not totally sure about it, but I'm very intrigued by the implications he's spelling out. Looking forward to seeing what he does next. And, hey, it's pretty rare to see a comic book with NO ads these days.
Superman/Batman Generations III #8: A storyline that bounces around through time, going forward and back, is hard enough to follow. Add in more time travel goofiness, and it's next to impossible to follow, as I noted about last issue. However, this issue seems to gather some of the threads up in what may be an attempt to draw near a conclusion. Whatever the reason, this issue read better than the last few, and could almost work as a standalone.
JSA #51: I didn't care for the last two issues. This was more of the same. The actual ending to the story is a big Dr Fate battle, so it wasn't nearly as confusing. It just wasn't interesting.
Still to read and review: Ruse, Aquaman, Fallen Angel, Green Arrow, H-E-R-O, JLA, Amazing Spider-Man, and the Batman Archives.
Sunburn update: Still itching, peeling, and a few remaining blisters growing and weeping. I'm leaving enough pieces of dead skin around the house that I hope no mad geneticist gets in... lots of samples for cloning here. The worst part is the itching. Even a touch of moving air causes me to double over in a mad desire to scratch already raw skin.
I just want to point out that I somehow made the list of top 100 Blogshares players today. I'm not sure how it happened, and I'm relatively sure it won't happen again. Oh, but there was a brief moment of glory! Nevermind that I don't have a controlling interest in my own blog.
