Links At The Ready
Pal John wrote a piece for AlterNet about The End of Faith author Sam Harriss and his, er, frankly irrational embrace of pseudo-science and support of torture. Now, don't get me wrong, people are entitled to be wrong, but it seems odd for a man whose based his professional career on debunking Western religions to embrace just as kooky Eastern superstitions.
Needless to say, many AlterNet readers were not amused. Which, you know, doesn't surprise me in the least. Check out John's site for his response to his detractors and some of the not at all veiled threats he's received.
Spencer Carnage has a much improved version of Civil War starting in this post. If nothing else, it's funnier than the actual series. On purpose, that is. Speaking of Civil War (must we?), Steven at The Roar of Comics has ideas on how to improve the actual series. He's pretty spot-on, though I perhaps would have said that the first and most critical one would have been hire a different writer, but that's just me.
And one last little note on the comic that will radically redefine the Marvel Universe until the next retcon, I'd like to make a personal plea to the internet to stop spoiling the ending. It's not for me, mind you, but I'm not sure how much more whining over delays and rushed product I can stand to hear about if they decide to rewrite the ending again in response to internet rumors hitting too close to the mark. (Oh, like it hadn't occurred to any of you as the real reason for the delays!)
J. Bone has been posting new pictures in a mystery theme starting with this post, which is also my favorite of the pictures so far. That may be because it's a really clever allusion once you figure out what the theme of the series is.
Here, have some Tiger Lillies:
Nothing like songs about obscure philosophical figures beating children to death sung in a falsetto.
