At home in Sacramento and at work in Roseville, it's a yellow, thick, gritty sky in the daytime and a dull red sun at morning and night.
I think I've been transported to another planet. Not sure which one, though...

Ow!

Laurel @29:
By golly, I'll bet that is Rorschach! Good eyes.
Notice how there is *noone* else on the street with him...
The mask appears to be pure white. I wonder if they're going to do it with CGI?
I don't know how this movie is going to end up, but I know I'll go see it. Though nothing can beat the exquisite torture of having the story unfold over 1.5 years, re-reading each comic over and over, talking it over with friends for hours, being certain that if you just think about it long enough you can figure out what's going on...what joy that was.

These ebay entries remind me of Hemingway's classic six-word short story:
"For sale: baby shoes, never worn."
Clifton's comment in #63 about how concepts are supported only when they are used to support the views of the traditionalists really rang true for me.
I've often noticed hypocrisy in many of the statements of core neo-cons. One example would be an attitude I perceive as: "We (core neo-cons) want less government intrusion in our lives, except where we want *more* government intrusion in *your* lives."
I see the core Machiavellian credo of the current administration heads as concerned with acquiring power (through whatever means), maintaining power and exploiting power to the benefit of the core "traditionalist" constituency.
Since money, priviledge and power are the core of interactions in DC, I don't necessarily expect things to change tremendously even if the Democrats do gain control of the Presidency and both houses. One can hope, but statements from Democratic candidates that others have quoted above can dim that hope.
The coordinated attack by squirrels on humanity actually goes back a ways. Check out the Squirrel Cop segment from a "This American Life" episode back in 2002, where in a squirrel wrecks a house, two cops and the homeowners.
