Jason Powell on X-Men Annual #4

New Colossus plaque; take 2 (public Image:New Colossus.PNG[Guest-blogger Jason Powell continues his issue by issue look at Chris Claremont's X-Men run. For more in this series, see the toolbar on the right.] “Nightcrawler’s Inferno” John Romita Jr. has drawn hundreds upon hundreds of gorgeous images in dozens and dozens of Marvel Comics, including an underrated run on Uncanny (which I’ll cover eventually, of course). So it’s hard to imagine that he ever produced something that wasn’t beautiful. But, back in 1980, he penciled X-Men Annual #4, one of t read
HBO’s “JOHN ADAMS”John Adams: Great and Grating, or Ordinary and Likeable?
The New ColossusThe New ColossusArrogant, contentious, vain, verbose, bookish, boorish, strident, cantankerous. Sound like anyone you know? Those are a few of the less complimentary descriptions that have been made about founding father and second president, John Adams. Biographer David McCullough described Adams as “high-spirited and affectionate, vain, cranky, impetuous, self-absorbed and fiercely stubborn.” Eclipsed by the revered Gen. George Washington, Adams was the distant runner-up to be our nation’s first presiden read

Hans Off Our Elections!
Alan Cumming with New Colossus The New ColossusSince I unflaggingly rag on the Democrats, it’s incumbent on me to praise when I see them do something praiseworthy. And they’ve managed to keep Hans von Spakovsky off the Federal Election Commission, so here’s a heartfelt Bravo! going out to the Democrats for that achievement. Since I read this in an AP article, I dare not link to it, though it was on the New York Times website; but I’m sure you can google up someone else’s article on the same topic. Looking for Mr. Goodnews It’s a small enou read

Sheriff Powers (TIM McGRAW) comes Full Tim McGrawIt was turning out to be a thoroughly miserable evening for Ron Washington. With his ballclub showing nary a sign of life through the first two outs of the top of the eighth inning, even the Texas Rangers’ ever-upbeat skipper had to be somewhat despairing in light of his club’s ostensibly marginal level of play. Right-handed ace Kevin Millwood lasted six innings and 104 pitches, but yielded five earned runs on a whopping 11 hits and three walks. The defensive duo of catcher Gerald Laird and r read
