My food stamps aren't going to increase

I am so bummed right now. Melissa DID say that this whole money crunching situation is unlikely to be permanent. Still, a year or two with this little money is going to hurt.

My head hurts.

Dave Sim is crazy

Wandering around http://www.boneville.com/ (I joined the forum as *GASP* fone bone! :D) and I'm reading about the fight Dave Sim had with Jeff Smith over Sim's misogyny and how he publicly wrote in Cerebus how Jeff secretly agreed with his "anti-feminism" and just didn't feel like admitting it in front of his wife.

Read Tangent. It's insane.

The Comics Journal had a story on the Sim and Smith feud.

Apparantly Sim actually believes this nuttery. It's both sad and really REALLY funny at the same time.

I had always wanted to read Cerebus a few years ago ESPECIALLY after the crossover it had with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Renet but now I am totally glad I didn't. It's my understanding that the first half of the story was brilliant but by the end his craziness had crossed over to the story. And MAN at 300 issues it's a LOOOONG story so if you got sick of it when it started getting crazy you STILL owned like 200 issues of the thing.

And Jeff Smith would have totally won that boxing match. He has Fone Bone, Phoney Bone, Smiley Bone, Thorn, Gran'ma Ben, the Great Red Dragon and Ted the Bug on his side.

Grrrr...

Anyone who tries to tell you that racism isn't a big problem anymore is either an idiot or a racist.

Semi-off-topic, I sometimes wish I could meet Toon Zone's Lucky Bob so I could punch him in the face. Anyone who not only believes the Swift Boat lies but actually spreads them or says they worship Bush deserves a smacking.

This article put me in a REALLY bad mood right now so read it at your peril.

The article about the Megachurch with the Statue of Liberty holding a cross and the Ten Commandments isn't helping.
