After condemning Steve Cohen for his Nazi analogies last week (Cohen noted that the Republicans on health care were using the Goebbels tactic of taking a lie and repeating it often, which is exactly what they were doing, although he could certainly have made the point without mentioning Goebbels), the good folks at Fox, notably the always-intelligent and honest Megyn Kelly*, suggested that no one at Fox ever made the same hyperbolic leap.

Jon Stewart notes otherwise.

(And anyone surprised by this either hasn't been paying attention, or is named Megyn.)

Oh, no! A big-name superhero has died.

I'm sure this is a permanent change that will show the true meaning of death in comic-book universes. I can only hope that Clint Barton delivers the eulogy at the funeral (although teammate Ben Grimm would certainly also be qualified).

(First person to yell "spoilers" about something running on news services and revealed by corporate press release can [insert sexual act of choice] Giant-Sized Man-Thing #1. Also, you're actually still reading FF? For real? You know that neither Waid nor McDuffie has written the book in ages, right?)

Today's Treading Ground is completely NSFW (as most of them are), but the third panel damned near made me snarf my coffee.

We've all heard the news stories about families getting trapped and eventually rescued, while the father who went to get help winds up dead from exposure.
-- From this article.

Sure. But we've also all read Stephen King's classic short story "One For the Road," in which a man leaves his family behind in the car, finds help, and comes back to discover that his family's been killed and turned into vampires.

So really, which should you be watching out for? Freezing cold, or vampires? The writers at the Boston Globe completely fail to address this.
