Ken Jennings on why Romney is no JFK

I love Jennings's writing in general (and have a post on Maphead that I need to write; the shorter version is that it's a wonderful read), and this article's worth reading for the humor as well as the actual point (and I love that he actively calls his fellow Mormons out on crap like the notion that they're more discriminated against than black people, even following up in comments).

Speaking of video games

So, Elayna received a PSP 3000 as a holiday gift, and has generously said I can use it, too.

For those who own them (davidlubar, anyone else?), what games are amazing? I've already ordered Jeanne d'Arc, of course.

So why, for the love of Julius Schwartz, has there not been a New 52 DC book teaming up Jack Hawksmoor and Danny the Street?

Oh, S.M. Stirling

Yes, picking on him is like shooting a fish in a barrel, and yes, it's a ten-year-old post, but hoping that copyright violators get gang-raped? Really?

(Alternatively, he just endorses killing them.)
