She knows what she wants...

Ah, those Kryptonian... toys. Do I even want to ask about the helmet?

Alternate headers "I wonder how many D batteries it takes?" and "Supergirl's Silver Age Sex Toys!" but if I have to be that obvious then I may as well give up.

Thanks to Cryptleak for another of these sordid Silver Age snaps.

Man, Dr. Wertham would have a field day if he were carrying out his anti-comics crusade today.

Gotta love stuff taken out of contents, like Rush Limbaugh did with all of those Democratic sound bites he's been playing lately, where Dems sound like they supported the war before the war began.

Most of the Dems have been in spineless mode through most of the Bush presidency, so I can hardly blame the other side for pulling up those bytes and votes in the counter-attack. I don't let people forget that Dubya campaigned on the idea that the U.S. stepping in and imposing its values on foreign nations is wrong.

The key thing here (for me, at least) is the issue of how directed by and tailored-to-fit the White House agenda the intelligence was. Claims that this is a settled, dead issue don't ring true to me. If at a seeming time of crisis Congress looked at what was presented to them as "the facts" and fell in behind the president as a unified nation under siege, I'm not going to damn them too strongly for being duped.

This administration's made one power grab after another against a backdrop of fear, declaring opponents to be unpatriotic, ill-timed opportunists. Hopefully enough people are waking up to how much of a formula this is, and that this "war on terror" is never meant to end. Its primary, political aim is to perpetually make this "the wrong time" for dissent while this administration pushes through as many of the aims of its supporters as possible, from the Religious Right to the oil industry and corporate interests.

Supergirl's had her randy moments, no doubt... her romantic history with Comet the Super Horse is enough to make anyone's eyebrows waggle, just for one. But the real dirt lies in the pages of SUPERMAN'S PAL, JIMMY OLSON, where not only do we see Jimmy crossdressing to infiltrate the mob at the slightest excuse, but we are also regaled with endless occasions on which Superman plies Jimmy with exotic alien jewels and various other powerful and valuable gewgaws, including, of course, a Superman Signal Watch that guarantees ol' Supes will be at Jimmy's beck and call for the remainder of eternity.

I mean, honestly, what exactly does the phrase "Superman's Pal" really mean?

If you doubt me on the Supergirl/Comet thing, see http://www.angelfire.com/ny3/docnebula/suprhrse.htm . Swear to God, I couldn't make this stuff up.

Insurance Company-Driven Propaganda Storm It's almost heartening to see them go to these lengths - they're getting a little scared - though I worry how many wingnut media outlets will reference the report as if it's substantive..? ( From the Washington Post ) The Insurance Industry's Deceptive Report by Ezra Klein In the hallowed tradition of the tobacco and energy industries, the health insurance industry has commissioned a report (pdf) projecting doom and despair for those who seek to reform its business practices. The report was farmed out to the consultancy PricewaterhouseCoopers, which has something of a history with this sort of thing: In the early-'90s, the tobacco industry commissioned PWC to estimate the economic devastation that would result from a tax on tobacco. The report was later analyzed by the Arthur Andersen Economic Consulting group, which concluded that "the cumulative effect of PW’s methods … is to produce patently unreliable results.&qu

The Tease of Things I Don't Need

     The lure of things we don't need, could easily find greater needs to apply the cash to, and which we may not even have the space for, is a very First(ish) World Problem, to be sure.        HasLabs is a special projects division of Hasbro, that occasionally pitches large and/or elaborate items - oversized figures and/or vehicles - essentially crowdfunding each project. They set the price, and a funding line - the number of people who need to pledge to buy one (or more -- up to five) at the announced price, then collect the names and information of interested parties for a period of 45 days. Once the number of pledged buys hits the target, the project is greenlit.      A couple years ago there was a HasLabs special build project aiming to fund a production run for an oversized (32" tall), elaborately-articulated action figure of Marvel comics' Devourer of Worlds: Galactus. Back on July 18, 2021 I posted a piece on the project, which at the time was just two days

Oct.13-19 - More Returns and Changes

      Even though I've already watched the pair of debut episodes of Frasier (see next paragraph), and this week's Star Trek: Lower Decks (which continues to do a stellar job of mining  previous Trek series for character, episode and extraterrestrial culture lore and deftly applying them at breakneck speeds), I still have multiple things I'm looking forward to catching up on, including new eps of Gen V (Amazon Prime), Loki (Disney+), and both Archer and Welcome to Wrexham (both on Hulu), along with the first two episodes of a final six for Doom Patrol over on Max... and that's just off the top of my head, so getting this week's streaming post out of the way brings those one step closer for me.       I've watched the two episodes of the new Frasier series that arrived on Paramount+ this week, and while it was a mixed bag it was good to see the character back, with him attempting to move into his third act by returning to Boston, where we first met the ch
