Super powers: XKCD style
They laugh now, but within 10 years the city’s entire criminal class will have quit to work on space research.
I didn’t post anything for Carl Sagan Day or his birthday. I’ve been a little busy lately with a couple of projects. XKCD does a great job as usual. It makes me wonder how many would-have-been criminals are actually working on space research because of Carl Sagan’s amazing influence.
xkcd Reads My Mind… Again
There seems to be no limit to just how much xkcd reflects my own life.

Things I Miss: Nonsensical Imaginative Play
I had considered writing about this in some length but then this Calvin & Hobbes strip showed up in my Google Reader and well…
… you know what they say about a picture being worth a thousand words. Yeah… That and I’m pretty pooped. Its been a long week month year week. I remember having so much fun just running around the back yard pretending to be someone I’m not fighting beings that weren’t there. Taking damage that slowed me down. Taking refuge high atop the pecan trees to size up the enemy’s lair just over the hilltop. Does growing up really have to mean those days are gone? What is it about the process of growing into our own selves that causes us to leave behind the selves we once had fun being?
Crazy Christian Campaign Comic
It would seem Oklahoma Commissioner Brent Rinehart is going all out in an attempt to get re-elected county commissioner. He’s even gone as far as mailing out his campaign manifesto in the form of a comic. Sounds like a great idea until you discover Rinehart is a fundamentalist bigot who wants to impose his Christian sense of morality on everyone else. He also seems to be wholly obsessed with the gay sex.
Rinehart says the comic strip took him two months to script out and is “more or less a story of my experiences of the last four years of being the county commissioner of District 2.” No one seems to have noted how long it took Shane Suiters to pen the 16 page masterpiece.
Keith Gaddie, a University of Oklahoma political science professor, called the book “one of the strangest things” he’d ever seen.
“I’ve never seen a comic book with the phrase ‘anal sodomy’ in it before. That was a new one for me.”
Regardless of my personal feelings about this ass-obsessed clown, I’m not knocking Rinehart’s comic book approach at all. Far from it, I think its a novel idea that can have excellent results when done politely and with an actual sense of humor, like Kansas pro-education, pro-science candidate Sean Tevis did for his campaign.
