There's a drawing of Aquaman in this month's Previews Gallery, by Scott Shehi. The latest edition of Previews On-Line is up, including the May/Jul order form.
Retrocrush has posted an Underoos Gallery. No Aquaman pair yet, but as I recall the Aquaman ones were pretty lame.
Larry Young thinks I'm the Terminator of bloggers. Actually, that would be "Teganator", a nick I've used before. And I've just started to delve into the amazing pile that Larry sent me, starting with Available Light. Reviews will start tonight.
Batmobile recalled "because the rear tail wings on the car pose a puncture or laceration hazard." Well, duh. One look at the thing and you'd know it's not for kids. That's got to be one of the most dangerous looking toys I've seen in a long time. I'd hate to step on it in the middle of the night.
I checked out some Mariners baseball blogs, and they are about what I expected. There were a handful of good ones. So far I've enjoyed U.S.S. Mariner (the name comes from the ship that was in the outfield at the Kingdome and fired a cannon when a Mariner hit a home run), which seems to be one of the oldest M's blogs. They note that the current problem with the M's (who are now 1-6) is defense, something I noticed when I watched the game last night. Offense is strong, pitching is ok, but the defense is pathetic. Anyway, good blog except for the lack of an RSS feed. Next up is Mariner Musings which seems to cover the bases pretty well. I liked a recent post on trying to imagine Mariners skipper Melvin as "pretty animated". The last one I'll mention today is the Seattle P.I.'s Mariners Weblog. Why them? Because they list all the scores for the Minor League teams too.
Would you like to get paid to go to a baseball game? If you live near Battle Creek Michigan, you could've gotten a whole dollar to see the Single-A team play.
The flasher that got beaten up by a bunch of Roman Catholic schoolgirls has been sentenced.
Moving into politics... just my dumb opinion:
The Bush Administration is setting a very dangerous precedent. They've been declassifying things that make their opponents look bad, then refusing the declassify the remainder even when asked. Ashcroft dropped a bombshell on the 9/11 commission, declassifying a memo that lays some blame on commission member Gorelick. They've been doing this for quite some time, declassifying things in order to embarrass people, instead of for intelligent reasons. So what happens when, someday down the line, a democrat gets into office and pulls out the same trick? I'm sure the republicans will cry "foul!", but remember who is doing it now.
What should we do in Iraq? Set up elections for a new Governing Council. We should ask the UN to come in and preside over the elections, and we should actively encourage the Iraqis to vote. And Iraqis should be calling for free elections, after all, that's what we promised them. None of this "appointing" crap... that's what Saddam did. Call for elections. This two cents brought to you by "ignorant American Laura".
And that's that for today's edition of Random Thoughts. Tune in later tonight for some Rapid Reviews of this week's comics and at least one AIT/Planet Lar book. I got these books from the shop today: PS238, Age of Bronze, Dodge's Bullets, 1602, Aquaman, H-E-R-O, Fallen Angel, Green Arrow, JLA, JSA, and Common Grounds.
