As the great Florence King said, "She doesn't have an orientation, she has a vagina."

Excellent, thank you. I've been thinking about this all morning but hadn't gone out in search of the actual comparison.

...and I've been thinking it all morning. Blech.

SERIOUSLY? I'm white and I can't tell them apart. Fuck.

No fooling, when I read that quote BEFORE I heard about the massacre, my assumption was that it was ISIS talking about westerners in Afghanistan.

Or go back to the book where the whole mom story was a lie and Big Daddy was really just an asshole with a vendetta.

Oh well. Looking for sense in a comic book is probably asking for a lot.

...and thus his now dead wife telling him that even when he was alive he wasn't always present. Shadow's name IS who he has always been. He isn't really present in his own life until after he dies.
"I'm alive" said Shadow."I'm not dead. Remember?"
"You're not dead" Laura said "But I'm not sure you're alive, either.…

I’m pretty sure they’re retractable. If the story has continued from the previous series, her uncle Hephaestus made them for her.

Reasons = morale boost for Americans during World War II. Ditto for Captain America.

Here’s some real world information: Wonder Woman debuted in 1942, and although her comic back story is Amazon princess, etc., she like Steve Rogers in the Marvel Universe, was intended as an American morale booster in the war against the Axis. She spent about 20 years fighting Nazis (and related bad guys) before her…

Thanks. You did it so I didn't have to.

Dude. I have a friend who's in a Confederate Marine "regiment" that reenacts exclusively as Confederates (there's apparently a rule that reenactors must agree to play the opposite side occasionally?) because "fuck them I'm not taking the side of those honorless cowards". I try to be tactful because personally he's a…

Right. They ask him that too. You do know it's a work of fiction, right?

Well, in the book he's asked if he's a "Spic", so you can take that as you will.

I know Melissa. She’s a serious academician, and she is asking questions that need to be asked. It doesn't mean she believes them, it means she needs to ask them neutrally.

Except his mom is black. He's frequently asked if he's Spanish or Gypsy, so dark coloring seems an appropriate guess.

All I can say is thank Odin my daughter’s school requires a uniform. There’s also no boys/girls differentiation. Shorts and/or skirts should be mid-thigh or longer. The end. I am REALLY not looking forward to high school wardrobe issues.

I took my daughter to a second hand store to buy some inexpensive shorts for summer camp. She’s between kid and teenage sizes so it’s getting harder to know where to look for clothes for her. When there were very few choices in the kids’ section we headed over to women’s, thinking we could get her shorts in a very…

Perfect.
