    I used to enjoy Rosie when she was less of a public figure but as she became more of one and used that exposure to throw her not inconsiderable weight around backed by a rather dim-bulb view of the world she's become an obnoxious bore. Her loud and aggressive personality will not be a good combination for TPIR or any show when you get down to it.
    There was an artist I used to like and hoped to get a commission from but as he proved himself to be a crack-pot I even deleted the files I had on my PC.

    Update:  I've just read that Pelosi's actions are against the Logan Act, which I understand to be part of the Constitution, whereas Mowlam's actions were with the backing on the Prime Minister.  Just thought I'd clear that up before anyone else criticises me.  I therefore retract my comment on Pelosi's actions – I agree that she shouldn't have gone if it violated the US Constitution, and, as the penalty is apparently three year's imprisonment, she should be jailed for her actions.

    What about he Republican delegation that went there a few weeks before after it was asked not to by the White House?

    To counter your Canadian free ride article here's another from the other side.
    http://www.publicintegrity.org/rx/report.aspx?aid=723
    That $800 million dollars the drug companies spent in lobbying congress over 7 years does not count the millions each company pays doctors to proscribe their drugs. Or the 2.5 billion spent every year telling us we are sick and need to see a doctor so they can give us their drugs.
    Despite all that Pfizer still made a profit of 11.3 billion dollars on sales of 50.9 billion. That doesn't go into the coffers of the company to pay the scientist that do all the work but into the pockets of executives who decide what drug they can make a profit not on what would most help cure diseases but what will suppress the symptoms and who to pay off, sorry, who's campaign to contribute to so that they can avoid realistic prices.
    Here's an example. For years the pharmaceutical industry has been after the supplement market. They have lobbied hard for more government regulation. A few years ago you could buy tryptophan at any health food store. Then 38 deaths resulted from one company in Japan's production run and it was put on the prescription shelf. What cost a dime or two a tablet now costs a dollar or so. Meanwhile prescription drugs with serious side effects are simply given a warning label until lawsuits start.
    And then there is the insurance companies…

    A lovely start. I agree with eccentric man. Emphasis what you want to focus on. If perchance as the woman turned only the blade was seen describe it but once she is in full view and taken as a woman to their surprise that is where you really get to go to an extreme. But be careful to avoid to much. Save some for later so that you don't repeat yourself.

    Artistically I've seen a lot worse. She-Hulk's first appearance is really nice. Good growth but in the end she doesn't seem big enough. Towards the end of the show she seems better. Her attitude is terrific as is her strength. This being geared for a slightly younger crowd she's thankfully not the drunken slut Slott made her BUT his influence is seen during the auditions with Flatman and Squirrel Girl. Johnny's reaction to her transformation is classic!
    Ahhhh thank goodness for a little thing with the initials B.T.

    Gold Digger annuals are mostly fan produced. Fred Perry might do one short story but the rest are all by fans.
