Down a Dark Road

Last night, I went over to Scott’s. Nix was there. We talked some more about the Meatloaf project, and I think we agreed that we’re going to try out having a battle sequence between the hero and the Meatloaf. We’ll see.

Nix thought that picture of George W. Bush trying to push past Clinton at the Clinton Library was hilarious, and was laughing over it all night long. Because it went over so well, here it is again:

Bush Tries to Push His Way Past Clinton to be the First to Emerge from the Door for Clinton's Library Opening

As Nix put it (while laughing hysterically): What a dick!

@Nix: Dude…you have to jump and then WALK FORWARD, not jump and then stand there to be knocked into the gorge for the billionth time in a row. For fuck’s sake! Start clipping those cyoo-pons, byitch!

@Spawn: Go, go, Go-Scott! (I know, I know…Shut. Up.)

@Beaver: I haven't forgotten about the math equation thing you came up with. Just letting you know that it IS coming...

Question is on the verge of debuting his as-of-yet unnamed comic strip. The strip will be drawn in the manga style, and purportedly will feature characters “Quill” and “Spawn” along with a wide supporting cast. I’ve seen the pictures; they rock! Question will more than likely be the premiere strip creator on the new Bug-Juice site, with “Bug Juice The Comic” appearing alongside it and sometimes collaborating together.

Speaking of the Megasite…I need to discuss the future of it with Joseph. He’s been fairly busy as of late and not much has progressed in awhile. Of course, no one is expecting Joe to make the site his sole priority; however, having a little progress made from week to month would be cool. ‘Smallville’ is tonight, so we’ll see what’s up.

Quote of the Blog:

“A man who sought to define torture and make it acceptable, who advised the President that he could act above and beyond the law, is nominated for Attorney General. Democrats might not oppose Alberto Gonzales, or perhaps they will make a symbolic gesture of opposition, saving the filibuster for more important matters, yet to be determined. But in the meantime, lowly enlisted soldiers go on trial and to jail for implementing the very acts of torture so carefully defined by their leaders. Our moral conscience is soothed by their imprisonment.

America has gone to war on false and erroneous and ever shifting pretenses without Congress declaring war, as it has the sole authority to do. Instead, it handed over its power and responsibility to men of weak character and selfish partisan interests. But never fear, amid the death and destruction hammered upon a small sovereign nation, we gave them the vote. All is well.

Talk-radio has expanded to talk-television and the corporate media controls the microphone. News is packaged like luncheon meat, sandwiched between the bread of entertainment and advertising. Politics has been safely removed from American elections and we no longer concern ourselves with issues of poverty, declining incomes, lack of health care and good education for our children. No, we are presented with the likability of our candidates and their ever important 'beer appeal' and 'everyday John Doe' qualities, regardless of their wealth and privileged upbringing. War heroes become cowards, and draft dodgers become heroic defenders. We may no longer have a free press, but it is reasonably priced.”

– John Cory, from ‘Down a Dark Road’ (linked above)
