Dave Stevens — 1955 - 2008 — R.I.P.
I found out yesterday that Dave Stevens, comic book writer and artist extraordinaire passed away Monday due to complications of leukemia. He was 52. He is famous for his “good girl art”, classic pin-up style drawings and paintings, an interest which led to him almost single-handedly resurrecting the career of 1950s pin-up queen Bettie Page. One of his best known titles was “The Rocketeer” a comic book series that eventually was transformed into a major motion picture. Stevens is survived by his mother and a sister. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends.

The British Don’t Like American Accents
I have heard so many Brits saying they do not like American accents lately. First, I heard that Paul McCartney didn’t want his crazy ex-wife raising their daughter in America because he didn’t want his daughter speaking with an American accent. At th…

I should warn you that this is at least a 2 entire box of kleenex video! This is a real tear jerker. If it doesn’t bring tears to your eyes then you have no heart and that’s the truth.

The Ferraro Debacle reaches its inevitible conclusion and I ask “Why are we so afraid to talk about this?”
After stating something everyone knew, Geraldine Ferraro was skewered as a racist, and has quit from Hillary’s campaign.

As If The Gas Prices Aren’t High Enough, the Democratic budget they’ll be voting for would allow income tax rates to go up on individuals making as little as $31,850 and couples earning $63,700 or more.
When you drive up to the gas station, thank the Democrats for those increased prices. I warned you that we would pay the price and we are. Now comes word that this vote is so important, Clinton, McCain and Obama are actually going to return to their …

Obama Could Put an End to Destructive Racial Polit
Barack Obama is upset that he’s being defined by his race. It is the subject that must not be voiced out loud. Its taboo. Every time someone broaches the subject of his race, Barack gets his feelings hurt, looks forlorn and accuses the Clinton camp o…

Obama’s earmarks raise questions. Also, how about that Culture of Change
I do not off hand know where he stands on the subject of earmarks, but surely something as obvious as conflict of interest should be an easy one.
