Why I'll miss Dwayne McDuffie.

Not good...

Because he had a vision of comic superheroes for kids and people of all races. And he made it happen.

I've told this story before, but I will tell it again. When the Hostess cupcakes promotion happened last fall featuring Batman, Superman, Flash and Green Lantern, my friend showed her son the box. He took one look at it and said, "that's not the Green Lantern, the Green Lantern is black."

And he is to millions of kids, because of Dwayne McDuffie. And Static is a cool character for kids because of Dwayne McDuffie. And Vixen is as well known as Black Canary to many people, because of Dwayne McDuffie.

His vision, his work, his belief that EVERYONE deserves to have a superhero like them, shouldn't be forgotten. Must not be forgotten.

RIP and thanks.

White House says it is creating 'very large' dossier on Washington Post journalist and others.

    This is not okay.   For the record, I hate the phrase "This is not okay", but this is NOT okay.  To be fair, I'm certain that he's not the first POTUS to create dossiers on, well, anyone.  But this is an intimidation tactic, plain and simple.  I mean, POTUS is pretty fucking lazy, so there may not be any dossiers.        'Cept, his folks will have to do whatever he tells them to do either because it's their job or because of the allure of power...and maybe out of some sick form of civic duty.        As if gathering info of journalists in order to shut them up is patriotic.        Last I checked, it was the very antithesis of the American way .      November 2nd can't get here soon enough.         This is not a myth, POTUS.
