Friday roundup: politics, comics, music, and Jon Stewart
Superman/Batman #26 is one of the many reasons I love comics and what they can do.
Jon Stewart demonstrates yet again why we adore him. (from boing boing, pointed out by twistedchick and many others).
neadods points to "Virginity or Death!", a piece about the HPV vaccine and why some on the Christian right believe young women shouldn't have access to it.
"Giving the HPV vaccine to young women could be potentially harmful," Bridget Maher of the Family Research Council told the British magazine New Scientist, "because they may see it as a license to engage in premarital sex." Raise your hand if you think that what is keeping girls virgins now is the threat of getting cervical cancer when they are 60 from a disease they've probably never heard of.
2muchexposition, in a rare post, reminds people that MoCCA Artfest is this weekend.
CD rec: Pretty Little Dead Girl: Seanan McGuire and Friends Live at OVFF 2005. Some of the songs make me nostalgic for places I've never been and people (or characters) I've never met. I think I've listened to this about five or six times this week, and it just gets better every time I hear it.
