Before anything else, I had to post this, in case it hasn't been previously covered.

Carry on.

"...we still like each other... It's been a good week."

Heartwarming. Which I could use, so, thanks. Best wishes of the spirit of Spring to you. (? Something like that.)

"Read the Bible" - or if you can't manage that right off, may I suggest, at least, the Gospels?

Blessed Easter, ye bookies.

I rarely think to suggest, and never have suggested, a pairing, because you're the master, Ross. But I got one today. Creeper and Badger. You might think of others for a Lunatic Legion.

This is where you tell me, yeah, you already did that one.

Pardon me for commenting after only having read the first few paragraphs of your latest grand opus, boss.

Used to have antenna, cable, and satellite. Got rid of them all along with the cathode teevees. Years ago. Just about the only LaughingStockMedia I catch is clips posted by or linked to at the websites I visit.

It's hard to be ahead of the curve all the time; whenever the call goes out to quit some group, I'd have to start to quit.

I'm in my early sixties. I quit mass media before most did/will because of being a computer geek and a relatively early Internet adopter. When I started my website, I used it to advertise my mini-comics. (Wish you could've seen the cool VRML comics spinner I had.) Then I scanned, colored, and posted a "sample" comic. In color. Without xerography. Available to the "world" from one "copy." That's when it fully hit me. Print is dead. Records/CDs are dead. Film is dead. Broadcast is dead. This one framework will hold everything.

Nineteen years later, they're not dead yet, but it's accelerating as the net & access thereto grows.

The LaughingStockMedia are dead. Long live the independent press, the AoS's now & future.

Stopping before this is as long as Ace's article, which I now have to finish.

Easter week comic from last year. If 1st C had TV.

Life's funny, ain' it?

On, say, Ace of Spades, a post with less content than this would have a brazilian comments by now.

So, here's one. :D

Cinco de Quatro is when Mexico won the War of Independence with their occupiers, the United States, in 1776. Everybody knows that.

We never touched the little punk. Our worst hit man wouldn't slime his hands. He's telling the truth.

However, we do have the security video from his exercise room on continuous loop, and the finest popcorn. And vino.

Thanks to El Court Supremeo, no longer will citizens in Los Nuevos Estados Unidos be offended, triggered, and oppressed by that ancient rag with the stars and stripes!

Leave Harry Reid alooooonnnnnneee! *sob*

An Ace article I could actually get all the way through before the AADD kicked in! Well, almost all the way through.

When Cloggenstein hits the Schnappes early in the morning, it's always amusing, both for the (attempted) content and the tpyos, but I gotta say, "Afartable Health care act" is a winner.

Gives new meaning to "have to pass the bill to find out what it smells like."

Soona: "They'll find the data recorder eventually. If the voice recorder survived, so did the data recorder."

Hey, neighbor.

Dunno 'bout that. IIRC, I saw a photo of the broken, twisted protective casing for the data recorder, absent contents. I'd presume, contents disintegrated.

Full speed impact head-on into a mountainside, I'm surprised they find anything that was in the front end of the plane (is that where the recorders are?), like any of psycho pilot's remains. But then, they supposedly found Atta's hardly-scorched passport within hours of the 9/11 NY hits.... IIRC

IAC, we know much of the basic data, and since it wasn't apparently a mechanical problem, can't imagine we'd learn much more from the data than we learned from radar, the voice recorder, and psycho pilot's doctor's notes, girlfriend and computer.

It's just an emotional roller-coaster ride around here:

Had already read that suicide-mass-murder Psycho Pilot "feared losing his eyesight and was suffering from depression." Now, investigators reveal he trawled "sites containing gay porn, suicide themes and sexual perversions....."

Meanwhile, "Crash scene investigators have found body parts thought to belong" to psycho pilot. Also, "a senior Lufthansa manager has said that he is doubtful that the flight data recorder will ever be found."
