I happened to be doing some general reading up on the Apocalypse for something I’m working on (how’s that for an unsettling hint) and just for laughs I decided to check Wikipedia. Here’s what it said, and I quote:
The End of the World
It is thought that in the year 2012 A.D. Bruce Lee will rise up from the dead and engage in an epic battle with Chuck Norris destroying the planet and all its inhabitants in the process.
Actually, if that were a movie, I’d go see it.

For those who have iPads, iPhones, and similar i-Products, the app for the “Epic Mickey” digicomics–written by yours truly–have gone live. The comics are set before the events detailed in the upcoming “Epic Mickey” video game, depicting the world of Wasteland (populated by forgotten Disney characters) before the great Thinner Disaster that lays the groundwork for the game.
My personal favorite is “The Rubbish Cup,” which is basically a love letter to the late, lamented Adventurers Club. Check it out.

As I’ve stated in the past, I’ve never been a big fan of capital punishment.
One of the primary concerns is that the penalty will be applied along racial and socio-economic lines. A poor black man convicted of murder, for instance, would be more likely to get the gas chamber than would a wealthy upper class white man.
A forfeiture (that of one’s life, in this case) so inherently unfair has no business being institutionalized.
So it was with great interest that I read a letter from Capital City Distribution, dated January 6, addressed to all suppliers (i.e., publishers) that announced some of “the more critical and dramatic changes that will be published in our new Supplier Handbook.” These changes, Capital advised, “are necessary for a number of reasons and have been implemented after much careful thought…”
Indeed.
Suppliers are further advised that these changes “are not for our convenience or for purely selfish motives but to improve the health of the entire supply chain by reducing costs and waste for the suppliers, retailers and distributors.”
Indeed. A laudable goal.
And how is Capital planning to do this?
Well, one way–the most impressive and controversial way–is through Capital Punishment.
