Rachel Ehrenfeld:
Since March 2002, Saudi billionaire Khalid bin Mahfouz has sued or threatened to sue in England at least 36 writers and publishers – including many Americans – who have documented his financial contributions to al Qaeda and other Islamic terror groups, through his Muwafaq (Blessed Relief) foundation, and the Saudi National Commercial Bank he [...]
Inky comic goodness

Thoughts on some comics:
I noticed Becky Cloonan’s work a while back, while trawling around on DeviantArt. It took some hunting, but I eventually found myself a copy of East Coast Rising – her story about pirates off the Jersey shore after the sea level has risen enough to drown most of what is currently coastal [...]
Ramon, could I trouble you for the name of your chemist?

Yeah, it’s not 2008 yet, but given that you can’t underestimate the irrationality of the American voter, it’s probably not too early to start buying razor wire and MREs.
Message from the Fatherland

Well, the odds finally caught up with me. My run at ignoring physical pain that would send a normal person running to the doctor and walk away with no serious repercussions has finally ended.
Some simple signs not to ignore:
when your eyes are the color of egg yolks instead of egg whites, you’re in trouble.

A man after my own heart

Journalista’s Dirk Deppy interviewed:
What really makes me want to die? The way industry true-believers assume that comics not featuring capes and tights are seen as diversions that “hurt comics,” and that different and conflicting senses of aesthetics are some sort of personal attack. I realize that this contradicts the nonchalance that I affected in the [...]
I’ll force you to obediance you rebellious slut

While googling for magnifying glass graphics, I stumbled across this (I edited the image above a bit so when I shrunk it to fit the subjects weren’t as small as they’d otherwise have been). I find it hilarious that someone at the Yale Library decided to use such an un-PC image as an example in [...]

Additionally:
Almost half of Britain’s mosques are under the control of a hardline Islamic sect whose leading preacher loathes Western values and has called on Muslims to “shed blood” for Allah, an investigation by The Times has found.

Fairly well said:
“So why the hell are we fighting him sir?”
McCandless smiled. “Because we want to be here, and he doesn’t want us to be here. Two dogs in a small cage, Sharpe. And if he beats us out of Mysore he’ll bring in the French to chase us out of the rest of India [...]

Sweet Google goodness

Is the Google Maps feature that allows you to embed a custom iframe in your website new, or is this just another thing I’m the last to know about? Either way, it’s extremely cool.

…if you can stand it. This also ran last from midnight to three last night, and I caught part of the middle hour – it was enough to make me want to watch the whole thing, especially at an time when my faculties are as available as they’re ever likely to be Scratch that, I [...]
