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.

Big, hairy feet. Alka Seltzer. Visine. Adult Diapers optional, but suggested. At the Alamo Downtdown in Austin TX, yesterday they held a special event: The Hobbit Feast . Exective chef John Bullington has created a seven meal feast, one for each of the different hobbit mealtimes (1st breakfast, 2nd breakfast, elevensies, etc.), spread out over the twelve hours it takes to watch the entire middle earth trilogy. Interpreted from actual meals referenced in the books, the Hobbit Feast is the ultimate Lord of the Rings sensory experience. These seven meals accompany a screening of the three Lord of the Rings films, spaced with 30 minute breaks between them, including the credits. Okay, so this already happened, as it was a Saturday event, but maybe they'll do it again. I got very little sleep Saturday morning and ran out of time to swing by here and do any posting -- including bits of trivia such as this. I'd be a little afraid of the crowd that would show up for something like th...

Remembering Michael Dunn (October 20, 1934- August 30, 1973)

-
Image
  American actor and singer, Michael Dunn (born Gary Neil Miller) arrived on this date in 1934 in Shattuck, Oklahoma. When he was four, his family moved to Dearborn, Michigan. Parents Jewell and Fred championed his right to live and develop openly, as part of mainstream life, defying repeated pressures from school authorities to send him to a school for disabled children.   An early reader, he was a champion speller, showed an early aptitude for the piano, and developed a lyric baritone and was given to crowd-drawing impromptu public performances even while just waiting for a bus. He ice-skated and swam in childhood, remaining a skilled swimmer throughout his life.   He attended the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, but was seriously injured on a stairwell during a "student rush" and was hospitalized for three months. Transferring to the more forgiving climate and accessible campus of the University of Miami, he seemed to excel more in extracurricular...

Omni-Adds week of October 8th

     A fairly brief nod toward t his past week's pair of additions to my library.       The fourth volume (of five) of Brubaker's Captain America run, and the all-in-one collection of Peter David's run of Captain Marvel stories, following the tale of Genis-Vell, son of (Marvel's) first Captain Marvel.       Each of these were series I only read once, as each was coming out, each with likely even less attention than I realized at the time. (Which I've been realizing again and again is true for entirely too much of my unfortunately distracted adult life.)       The Captain America volume is 928 pages, and while I recall some of the specifics it's receded to a blur in memory. The fifth volume, wrapping up Brubaker's run with the character, will be coming out within the next month or so if memory serves.       The Captain Marvel tome is 1400 pages, covering some sixty one issues, between his...
