Living in the coal region...

Bruce Springsteen had a classic line in Thunder Road:

The Indymac Slap in our Face

The Indymac Slap in our Face, or your tax dollars at work. Like a reverse Robin Hood, our government continues to take from the poor and give to the rich.

Leaked ACTA documents

Leaked documents concerning the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement are available here. Some believe that the eventual adoption of these agreements could create "back-door" laws, imposing rules on citizens that were not written by their government. Link via boingboing.

While we're on the "cat" theme...

Failed experiment.

Logan's Run: Last Day covers

The MTV website has a look at all four covers from the new Logan's Run comic being put out by BlueWater. Looks like the release has been pushed back to January.

Some fun sites for today

• Garfield minus Garfield (it's so much funnier without the cat - kind of a weird, existential thing).
• FMyLife - Murphy's Law in a few hundred characters (it's antonym: MyLifeIsAverage).
• GraphJam - "For people who love charts."

My gift to you, InterWeb denizens.

Fun site for graphic designers

Your logo makes me barf. Heh.

The artist behind the Flash, Star Wars, Adam Strange

Here's an interview with comics great Carmine Infantino, a former teacher of mine (really!) and a wonderful artist. I still love his work on Marvel's Star Wars adaptions (with Gene Day inking). He of course also had the great runs on Adam Strange and the Flash.

Health care stories

Health care horror stories collected by a blogger at The Atlantic. The system is in serious need of reform. Hopefully the Obama administration gets it, and doesn't just give in to the insurance companies like they did with the drug companies.
