Everything about this "controversy" makes my head hurt. Silliness aside, the Siegle and Shuster estates have A LOT more to upset about than Superman renouncing his American citizenship for eight pages.
More later.

Two Minute Hate
I'm sure this will stir the pot...
Is the world a better place without Osama Bin Laden in it? Certainly.
Will this undo the Patriot Act, two wars, state-sanctioned torture and untold death and destruction Certainly not.
I don't mean to make a value judgement about anyone's feelings. I really don't. I just happen to think that the people partying in the streets are missing some perspective. This isn't an epilogue to a clear narrative that started 10 years ago, its a tiny event in an incredibly messy situation.

I dislike laugh tracks
Did you know that there is a character on House with the same name as the main character on That 70's Show? Hopefully not because That 70's Show is awful and no one should watch it.
Pretty much everything in this week's mix is from the late 70's. I hadn't heard of Wire until recently, but I'm a big fan. Their song on the mix sounds like it could have been written this year. Really cool. Anyway, the normal smorgasbord of internet famous indie rock will return next week.
