Came in too late at night and too tired to post last night.

Politics and Comics
Originally published August 18, 1995, in Comics Buyer’s Guide #1135
Ah, the first stirring of a Presidential election, when fear is in the air and a young man’s fancy turns to pointless issues and repressions. Ah to be a liberal now that the stink is here.
SDCC – Day One
Actual day one, as opposed to the unofficial day one on Wednesday.
Comic Con, Day -1
Arrived at JFK and the line for the security check in was insane. Absolutely insane. Even the TSA people were saying to each other that they’d never seen anything like it.
I, of course, had: at Comic Con. Apparently JFK was a warm-up. Fortunately I got there early enough that I was able to make it through. Wound up standing in line with Jim Salicrup and we were able to make it through with minimum fuss.

Two Things That Made Me Laugh Recently
1) The announcement that the marriage of Superman and Lois Lane “never happened” as a result of the relaunch. Noooo, it’s not a reboot at all.
2) Every time you think Fox News can’t sink any lower into the realm of partisanship and inaccuracy, they surprise you. Fox News host Eric Bolling, on the Glenn Beck replacement show “The Five,” declared–in denying that George W. Bush was a relentless fear-monger–declared, “America was certainly safe between 2000 and 2008. I don’t remember any attacks on America soil during that period of time.” Best of all, no one else in the panel bothered to mention 9/11.
