"WHAT DO WE WANT?"

"Health care reform and a public option!"

"WHEN DO WE WANT IT?"

"One decade from now in 2019 or longer assuming legislators allow health lobbyists to forestall the decision that health insurance companies did in fact inevitably continue assfucking the American people!"

I know what niggled me about Captain America Reborn #4

I mean aside from the bad art (WTF Hitch!) and the story which Marvel promoted as "high concept" which seems to be "bad and consisting mostly of flashbacks** and a weak plot"

Thost "little" issues aside . . .
When did the Red Skull get out of Zola's body?

Please tell me this happened in some Dark Reign canon that I haven't read.

** Captain America Reborn is like the episode form an 80's TV show where they come up with some weak plot as an excuse to have flashbacks to earlier episodes so they can save money (or get around a writer's strike).

The always delightful lizbaillie has relaunched Freewheel as a webcomic. It looks to be her strongest work to date.
It's always great to see Liz at shows with her easily identifiable pink zebra striped table cloth.

For doing a cartoon for ACT-I-VATE I need a comic title.
Lots of title ideas are coming in. I'm going to try to do a pole.
Here's a test panel strip to give an idea of what it will look like. I might, if I have time, color them.

Poll #1483310 cartoon title name
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 68

what's a good cartoon title name? (Most of these are actually real words - even the ones that don't seem like real words)

Yeah, that's not a very funny joke for the subject line, but I've got a boring, technical computer problem question.

For the tenth time, I've tried setting up a wireless router at home, and once again, the setup process leads us all the way through, then has no useful troubleshooting tips whatsoever to explain why our system doesn't work.

(Usually this involves us buying a router, trying to set it up, failing at that, exchanging the router for a different one, failing at that, then giving up for a few months until we decide to try again.)

And please skip ahead to someone else's photos or Twitter-stream if this stuff bores you. I'll try to be brief, though.

Anyway, we've got a little black box that provides us with a DSL connection for our "land" computer, and we're trying to set up a wireless router so that we can use that same DSL for our laptop. So far, so good, right?

Here's what happens every single time: We go through the setup process, bit by bit, connect all the cords properly, and when we're finished, we end up with a slow (possibly non-existent) connection to the land computer. Our wireless router/network appears as a network option on our laptop (and it claims that the connection is at full strength), but we end up with that "trying to connect/rainbow pinwheel" thing for about five minutes, and no connection ever happens.

The main thing that I notice when we go through all of the connections (as the setup disc instructs us to do) is that the green blinking "Activity" light on our DSL router/black box thing doesn't blink much at all once we've connected everything.

If anyone has any good troubleshooting advice for router installation, please let us know. We've tried just about everything, and it feels like we're close to getting this solved, but it also feels like we might never get this problem solved, too.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I picked up the preview copy of Haunted from my local printer today. Then stopped by office depot and picked up envelopes. I'll be sending out about 300 to comic shops that are more likely to order Haunted. Now the fun part. Addressing them all...
