Media Watch: I have been busy -- no operas or movies. I did watch So You Think You Can Dance, but I have no emotional attachment to that show. I'm reading In Search of Schrodinger's Cat at night to help me go to sleep -- works very well. There is a NEW movie based upon Marvel Comics' Incredible Hulk, and it's getting better reviews than Ang Lee's wishy-washy attempt of a few years back.

An all-too-rare collaboration between my friend, the late Jack Kirby (pencils), and still-living Steve Ditko (inks) who I've never met. Ditko was the co-creator of Spider Man, and deserves more than poverty for his awesome efforts.

Electoral Madness: Hewlett-Packard, once one of the most-respected engineering companies in the world, is now just letters on logo-plates stuck on subcontracted hardware, thanks to Carly "I'm So Vain" Fiorina. John McCain is now trying to use her "clout" with women to try and poach angry Clinton supporters.
"Having started as a secretary and eventually become a chief-executive officer, I not only have great admiration and respect for Hillary Clinton and her candidacy and her leadership, but I also have great empathy, I must tell you, for what she went through," Fiorina said.

Hold your nose -- somebody's been eating beans:

"I also believe though, if we are striving for a gender-blind, color-blind society, that we really ought to be focused on the person that we think will make the right judgments, the right decisions and have the right positions. That person is John McCain," she said.
... McCain was quick to point out political differences with Clinton, saying he thought the Supreme Court decision in "Roe vs Wade" on abortion was a bad one.
Any woman who would vote against her own interests for McCain was never a Democrat in the first place.

Yes, they are contractually obligated to mislead you.

Mind your own body's business, McCain! A hundred years in Iraq isn't fine with me either. The first thing to do is:
Support our troops -- bring them home.
