“He’s just a good person. We make a point of that in the script: Don’t change who you are once you go from Steve Rogers to this super-soldier; you have to stay who you are inside, that’s really what’s important more than your strength and everything.”

Johnston seems to be under the mistaken impression that if you’re a flag-waver you’re some right-wing conservative who mindlessly toes the line.

The truth is Captain America has always had a mind of his own, even starting a Civil War in opposition to the government enacting the Superhuman Registration Act. But while he may have disagreed with the policy, Captain America never stopped loving his country.

But all Johnston loves is money. He all but admits the reinterpretation is based on international ticket sales.

“Yeah, and it’s also the idea that this is not about America so much as it is about the spirit of doing the right thing. It’s an international cast and an international story. It’s about what makes America great and what make the rest of the world great too.”

Wonder Woman raids Superboy's Wardrobe

In issue 600, Wonder Woman faces her most tyrannical opponent yet – the fashion police!

A change in the time stream has the Amazon Princess growing up in America instead of Paradise Island, yet looking less American than ever.

“The original costume was the American flag brought to life,” explains artist Jim Lee. “This one is a little more universal.”

In truth, the only thing universal about it is the criticism. Releasing this anti-American Wonder Woman on the week of 4th of July is bad enough but it’s such an obvious ripoff of Superboy’s old costume (leather jacket, red gloves, gold boot straps). She’s even been de-powered like Superboy was in his early days, and likewise is “working her way up to her full set of powers” says writer J. Michael Straczynski.

The county’s Board of Supervisors has passed an ordinance (3-2) that bans the kid-friendly meals.

Supervisor Ken Yeager accuses fast-food restaurants of preying on children’s love of toys to sell unhealthy food. “Why would a kid say ‘I want a burger with fries’? It’s the toys that they want,” said Yeager.

The ban would only affect unincorporated parts of the county but Yeager hopes the law will have a ripple effect similar to when the county required menu labeling for fast-food restaurants, which later became state law.

The law will go into effect May 11, but fast-food restaurants will have a 90 day grace period to come up with voluntary measures.

Only meals that meet strict nutritional guidelines will be allowed to offer toys.

Nutritional Restrictions:

• No more than 485 calories for a meal, or 200 calories for a single food item, no more than 120 calories for a drink.

• No more than 600 mg of sodium for a meal, or 480 mg for a single food item.

• No more than 35 percent of calories from fat.

• No more than 10 percent of calories from added sweeteners.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee (nrsc.org) has even gone so far as to create a political ad praising Obama for everything from passing health care to job creation (video below).

The census has already ballooned to $14.7 billion, nearly quadruple the cost of the previous census. An audit of the Census Bureau uncovered millions of dollars in waste from fraudulent travel reimbursement to paid training for employees that quit before working a single day.

President Obama’s kowtowing goes way beyond blatantly bowing down to the Prime Minister of Japan. Japan & China are already the two largest creditors of U.S. debt but now we’re just throwing money at them.

More than half of the $3 billion that we borrowed from them to finance the Car Allowance Rebate System (Cash for Clunkers) was used to buy their cars! But according to J.D. Power, normally 63% of the cars bought in America are made in America. In other words, Cash for Clunkers was actually a disincentive to buy American.

The Recovery Act didn’t fare any better.  There was a net job loss in the manufacturing for renewable energy last year, despite $2 billion in grants. It didn’t help that 80% of the money went to foreign companies, including $91 million to Eurus Energy America, a subsidiary of a Japanese-owned firm, and $178 million to Babcock & Brown, which used wind turbines manufactured in Japan.

This year China plans to join in the windfall by building a $1.5 billion wind farm in Texas. A-Power will receive $450 million in grants and create approximately 2,000 manufacturing jobs in China! Locally it will create only 300 temporary jobs and just 30 permanent jobs, which works out to about $1.4 million per job.

Nevertheless, Matt Rogers, senior adviser for the Recovery Act, defends building the turbines overseas, “those historically haven’t had buy American provisions and they don’t under the Recovery act either.”

Apparently Obama’s idea of energy independence is wind turbines with made in China labels.

Ellen is pretty much a walking stereotype. She’s retard strong or as Stewie puts it “I’m guessing this one owned a bunny but not anymore.” But on the bright side, this strength makes her genitalia “tighter than a vice.” However after going out with Ellen, Chris realizes that people with Down Syndrome aren’t different from the rest of us, “they’re just a bunch of assholes like everyone else.”

Now as far as I know, the only child Palin has with Down Syndrome is Trig and he’s a boy. Perhaps Seth’s just trying to say anything that comes out of Palin is retarded.

And you thought Sarah Palin was mad at David Letterman.

“We are starting to see depictions of women in their late 20s being banned because they have an A cup size,” warns Fiona Patten, Convenor for the Australian Sex Party (press release). “It may be an unintended consequence of the Senator’s actions but they are largely responsible for the sharp increase in breast size in Australian adult magazines of late.”

The board denies that they specify breast size but say they do consider overall appearance, which correct me if I’m wrong, includes breasts. Classification guidelines state that any publications which “describe or depict in a way that is likely to cause offence to a reasonable adult, a person who is, or appears to be, a child under 18 (whether the person is engaged in sexual activity or not)’ will be classified ‘RC’ (Refused Classification).”

Even in the ‘land of the free’ little tits are being squeezed out. Americans Dwight Whorley & Christopher Handley were convicted for cartoon child pornography under the 2003 PROTECT act, which criminalizes any image real or computer generated “where such visual depiction is, or appears to be, of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct.” I’m pretty sure they only looked underage as cartoons… DON’T HAVE BIRTHDAYS!

Will Japan be the next to jump on the ban wagon? And if so will the loli genre get a growth spurt and blossom into busty loli to get around the law? I, for one, am against giving our cartoon children breast implants! (no matter how hilarious)

Defense Secretary Robert Gates says “The question before us is not whether the military prepares to make this change, but how we best prepare for it.” Gates will conduct a yearlong review that will look at the views & attitudes of servicemen, the necessary policy revisions regarding base housing & fraternization, and the impact on military effectiveness.

Obviously the biggest obstacle is going to be housing because despite the argument by some that our military men & women are professionals, there’s a reason barracks do not have co-ed showers or rooms. But at the same time, I don’t think separate bathrooms will go over big with gay activists, even if they did have a cute little rainbow man on the door.
