You guys get the
hyperlinks I add to my little blurbs, don’t you? You click on them to see a web
version of the story? Just checking…
Has it been hot enough
for ya? So very warm and freaking muggy this may. I really hope everybody’s
wrong about it being a long, hot Summer. And of course, like an idiot, I'm going camping next weekend for not one but 2 days and nights. I'm stupid, I know.
Just who is the major DC
Comics character who is NOW gay? Alan Scott, the original Green Lantern. Feh, I
don’t care. I wonder if the re-introduction of the geriatric Alan Scott will
include his vulnerability to wood….
OK, seriously, the
character’s gayness doesn’t bother me. Batwoman is an openly lesbian superhero
in the DC Universe, so no big deal. The thing that bothers me is writer James
Robinson’s comment "He's going to be the leader of the team,
this dynamic hero, he'll do anything to save people, the bravest man on the
planet. Why not just make him gay as well?". I don’t know why that bothers me, it just
does.
Here’s another study (from Australia) touting the benefits of dark chocolate.
I’m sure another liquor drink and/or beer a day study is coming soon!
I suppose by now you’ve
heard about the plan up in NYC to ban sales of sodas larger than 16oz. The
proposal is so convoluted. It excludes so much and is so myopic in nature.
Check it out here. Many are seeing this as a way
for NYC to get more revenue because while the proposal indicates you cant’
purchase certain sugary drinks over 16 oz, it doesn’t restrict buying more than
one 16 oz drink. Ergo, sales tax on more than one purchase would be collected.

There IS such a thing as
“old people smell.
SO what is all the hub
bub about the new Star Wars video game, 1313?
And finally, John Edwards
walks. Is anyone surprised? I do feel justice was done, however, I rarely agree
with this kind of justice. Our system isn’t perfect and to me, this is one of
those times the lady was blind. I’m all for second chances and all, but John
Edwards repentance, albeit sincere, is just a beginning of a very long road. To
me, it seems that we as a society are getting tired of all of these public
scumbags being so remorseful after getting caught with their pants down or
hands in a cookie jar. Too many times, we see these humble speeches of regret
as a form of damage control by skilled actors or con men(women). It’s hard to
tell what kind of sincerity is being displayed or expressed. A part of me
really wants to believe these people, no matter what they’ve done. That’s not
excusing them or their misdeeds.
What say you?
