    @omooex, essentially OT

    A number of people have mistaken the icon for Rorschach since the Watchmen movie came out. But yeah, I have the complete DC run of The Question, and I'm an old comics geek - among other things.

    I'm also paranoid enough that most of the political posts on my journal are filtered for friends, invisible to the general public. Well, it's not just paranoia; I was boring some of my readers to tears with repeated angry posts about torture, actually. Since some of my family have been tortured, I don't have any sense of moderation or Seriousness about that issue.

    On an unrelated but on-topic note, I've been trying to decide if I want to see Dan move to Salon, HuffPo, or somewhere else. I see drawbacks and benefits for each possibility.
