So, apparently DC will "reveal that an iconic male character" of theirs is gay! I'm sure this will have some comic fans climbing the walls and frothing, but I'm all for it . . . because the comics world desperately needs more diversity and because newly created heroes just don't "stick" very often.

Big Bird challenges the gods
So apparently one of Big Bird's adventures in the early 80s was CHALLENGING THE EGYPTIAN GODS. Man, Sesame Street used to be so cool, before Elmo took over.
Check out the synopsis of this episode, in which Big Bird has lines like "Oh no, the demon's gonna be here any second now ( Read more... ) -

I am truly shocked and saddened to see Republican senator Olympia Snowe (Maine) is retiring from the Senate, where she has worked since 1973. I am a Democrat, but I have always had the highest regard for Snowe, someone who was willing to work "across the aisle", whose respect for herself and others was evident in her behavior, and who discussed ( Read more... )
