@AKASmith

People in protest over Iraq isn't over, and there are ways to network with other activists and travel to places like Washington D.C. and Crawford Texas, sharing travel costs, the costs of lodgings etc. - making your opposition to the Iraq war tangible and visible through throwing your lot in with others making it more affordable in the bargain. I've been to one anti-war street demonstration where I live, but I've got a friend who has since 2003 regularly participated in protests that were organized by some of the big umbrella anti-war groups like ANSWER and others. I personally haven't been to any of the big national demonstrations. But my friend went to Crawford Texas back in I think 2004 when Cindy Sheehan was trying to build Camp Casey, my friend went back the following year after Cindy had bought some land in Crawford bringing a very visible example of Iraq war opposition right to Bush's front door so to speak. I'm sure that there are still people out there engaged in oppostion to the war. I know my friend Louis is. At this moment though, I think people are waiting to see what changes will come after Bush, therefore the anti-war movement is not as much in obvious evidence as it was in earlier years.

"realism"

and

"Batman"

Don't belong in the same sentence.

Wednesday, July 16, 2008 10:02 PM

Oh yeah, "McCain the maverick"

That's a refreshing romantic approach. That Arizona senator, that maverick of the southwest, with his six shooter in hand, he can single handedly take out Tehran, put John McCain to the ultimate test.

There's your "maverick" cowboy.

Holy bat shit Hutman!

Scuse my irreverence

I didn't know that messin' with the bat

Could be as all serious as that.

I never knew knockin' comic book heroes

Could be so thorny

It's just that to my way of seein' it

Batman Begins was the very soul of fuckin' corny.

What's with the "flash?"

Klytus wants real entertainment

For his hard earned cash.

Figure it out for yourself, you do the math, don't mess with the Dark Knight, unless you wanna earn Geekdom's most sanctimonious wrath.

Original article: Knowing me, knowing ABBA

"Fernando" was the first ABBA song I ever heard too

And it was when I was a kid of about 7 or at 8 years of age. It was such a stirring song. I loved the words too which I can still remember in bitts and pieces. One line I do remember went - "There was something there for you and me for liberty Fernando." I've never felt like ABBA ever left popular music. They were great and loved all over the world.

America gets geared up for its favorite fearless flyin' rat, and after its army of Bat geeks see it, it'll make enough money to pay for Iraq.

If only this picture had Batman in it

It would make a Bazillion bucks. Next time I would advise the director to cast Batman with a large part in the production.

Them geeks sure do get uptight

About their precious Dark Knight!

Thanks for refering us back to the big Bat Bible, clearly timothy should be sued for Bat libel.

You've got a good gripe, now if you could just get a life.

I remember Klaus Nomi. I remember him performing with David Bowie back in the late 70's on SNL. I like his otherworldliness, but I LOVE Nina Hagen.

There's not anything we wouldn't do, to enhance the stance of your Bat I.Q.

Don't be sorry, I'm not a fan either.

Isn't or wasn't Greenwald a lawyer at one time?

Oh yeah, that's the type I don't want to apply any critical thinking skills to what so ever.

Monday, July 21, 2008 03:04 PM

I read elsewhere that the Times editor said the Op-ed was unprintable in its present form..

..and that McCain should simply resubmit when he has something. Maybe McCain needs to go back to school to learn basic composition...
