You're out of excuses! Buy! Buy! Buy!

Drunken Monkey is done, proofed, approved, and off to the printer.

First of all, if you're interested in my one lousy DM page, but don't want to brave the grimy horrors of an actual comic book shop, Rich Stahnke just informed me that issue #2 is available through a comics retail site that I've actually used in the past: Discount Comic Book Service. They're not only carrying the comic, they're discounting it substantially.

There.
...


My latest complaint is with Democrats. Here goes:

Now, granted, I live in one of the most liberally-charged corners of the country, so I expect some anti-Bush, anti-Republican rhetoric. Long before election day, I expected the outrage, the doom-saying, the reports of dubious vote-counting practices and intimidation techniques. A fool could have seen that coming from miles offshore... but one thing I didn't expect was the giddiness I'm hearing from leftist media voices. Not an "optimism despite...", but, rather, a childish glee at the fact that so many people, both here and abroad, hate George W. Bush.

Yes, really.

A few days after the election, Michael Moore posted this note on his website. I was stunned. This man is actually celebrating the fact that a great deal of respect has been lost for the office of the Presidency of the United States. He'd rather be personally vindicated than bother to build or encourage. He's content that a lot of Americans hate who he hates.

I haven't seen Farenheit 9/11, but I can't imagine ever taking it seriously as a documentary, given Michael Moore's track record of fact-bending, half-truths and, now, personal vendettas. He doesn't want to report, he just wants people on His Side and, frankly, I don't have the patience for that.

Think the Republicans are just as bad? You're probably right, but this particular rant is against the Left, so get your own website.

And, to be reasonable, this is not most Democrats I'm complaining about. Unfortunately, much like Christianity, it's the loudest ones that ruin it for the rest. I guess I'm just starting to feel a little super-saturated with all the articles and commentaries and talk-radio about how the Good People need to band together to win back the nation from the dark days of the Religious Right.

Feh.
...


Otherwise, uh. I dunno.

Going to see Blu tonight, which is a bit of a shame, because I've actually started to like the head of hair I've had for the last week or so. I suspect I'll have her make me look old again. I thought that worked out nicely last time.

Thanksgiving is going to come early this year. Since Carey and I will be in Ohio this weekend, we're having a Thanksgiving bash with Mom and the rest on Sunday evening. Then, a week later, it's Thanksgiving again with Steve and Rebecca Groff. It's rainin' turkeys!

LOT of stuff to catch up on, most of which are personal projects. In fact, thinking about it is stressing me out. So, bye.
