Tell the truth -- "Young Liars" trailer is cool


For those of you who remember cartoonist David Lapham's "Stray Bullets," this new comic book, "Young Liars," may well be a welcome variation on a theme.

Like much of Lapham's work, it's about deeply flawed people involved in a swirling out of control world of crime and violence.

That said, now here's something we hope you'll really like: a movie trailer for a comic book! No matter what you think of Lapham or his comics, the animation on this trailer is really awesome.

Findlay, Ohio gets a mention in the Washington Post

And not in a good way. It seems some people in the ol' Flag City are choosing to believe false rumors about presidential candidate Barack Obama.

Regardless of your politics, let's get the story straight, at least.

Paul and Storm bring us a "Nun Fight"


Go listen to this. You'll enjoy it, especially if you are Catholic. Or, maybe if you aren't Catholic. Remember to hit "play" at the top.

Here's how Paul and Storm explain what you really ought to check out right now and listen to:

We recently read a report that a convent in southern Italy has been shut down after a fistfight broke out between the three remaining nuns there.
Since these nuns now are left with a lot of free time, no steady work, and few marketable workplace skills, there appears to be only one obvious choice…
Pay-per-view Nun Fight.
Admit it, you’d kinda wanna see it too.

Stephen Colbert is all over Marvel Comics

Not many men can say they are running for president in a fictional comic book universe.

Not many men can say they have spent the day doing a "Daily Show" segment at the Seneca County Jail in Tifin, Ohio.

Only one man can lay claim to both!

Something I never thought I'd see



So, we took a family trip to the Louisville Zoo. This picture is, indeed, exactly what you think it is.

Airline re-regulation?

This is a post by Mark Evanier that links to a speech from a former airline official who has some suggestions to improve the airlines. Anything that would make airline travel easier would be greatly appreciated.

Another view on Omar

Here's a column by our friend Terry Pluto that also says Omar Vizquel should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame. If you look around the Internet, you'll see a lot of sentiment to that effect lately.
