Today I went to Berkeley primarily to get the type of paper I like (Borden & Riley #116 sketch vellum, which is awesome), and wound up scoring more awesome at Half Price Books. I got the complete run of Grendel: War Child for $4, which I'm luridly happy about.

While waiting on the bus, I crack into issue 1 (or 41 depending on chronology), and at the back there's this article about hey, why hasn't there been any new Grendel for 2 years, etc. The last publisher before Dark Horse went bankrupt, and as part of Matt Wagner's explanation, he reprints an article which includes;

These are hard times; Democrats say it's a depression, Republicans say it's a recession, right-wing Republicans (rich millionaires, that is) say it's a mild recession, and George Bush says it's a slow recovery.

This is from May of 1992.

Y'know, I was going to write about SCOTUS' decision in favor of Hobby Lobby's willingness to penalize their employees based on their oh-so-noble religious ideals, coming hard on the heels of SCOTUS deciding in favor of emotionally, verbally (and potentially otherwise) abusive religious types at clinics. I typed out a long rant, thought better of it, decided I wanted to quote "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" and thought better of that, and finally have come to the conclusion that really screaming wordless anger is about the most concise and coherent thing I can say about this stuff.
