Speaking of Barack Obama:

Barack Obama is a racial-minority individual, and he inevitably does not endorse hate crimes committed by George W. Bush.

George W. Bush committed hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism (indicated in my blog).

George W. Bush did in fact commit innumerable hate crimes.

And I do solemnly swear by Almighty God that George W. Bush committed other hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism which I am not at liberty to mention.

Many people know what Bush did.

And many people will know what Bush did—even to the end of the world.

Bush was absolute evil.

Bush is now like a fugitive from justice.

Bush is a psychological prisoner.

Bush has a lot to worry about.

Bush can technically be prosecuted for hate crimes at any time.

In any case, Bush will go down in history in infamy.

I am not sure where I had read it before, but anyway, it is a linguistically excellent statement, and it goes kind of like this: “If only it were possible to ban invention that bottled up memories so they never got stale and faded.” Oh wait—off the top of my head—I think the quotation came from my Lower Merion High School yearbook.

Best speed round of all time! Well… so far right? Hilarious, literally ran it back 3-4 times listening to Pete’s diatribe of Emma Frost. Wish I could come and support CBC at the PIT, unfortunately too many miles are in between. Just curious, are vintage comic reviews coming? Getting into comics pretty late, and as a newbie, I really like getting recommendations for seriously good books from back in the day (indie or otherwise).

Thanks for rockin’ in all the right ways, guys!

@TheQuestion - We post the videos, for the most part, on YouTube, and that's it. It just takes more time to post in iTunes, and then link on the website, etc. The audio podcast is in the iTunes feed, though.

@Raul - Wasn't really one at all? Not sure what you heard, but it was a solid issue, with a solid execution.

Hey guys, love the show.
The unserious take on comics in a world of over-serious comic reviewers is a very welcome change.

I don’t know if you guys read the comments, but if you do — take this as a constructive criticism from a fan (I’m not a hater) — when you do reviews you should say more about the comic, the story etc, the style of the art & not just say “the art is great, the writing is great” … especially when it’s about indie or lesser known titles, some info on what the book is about might make people (me) more likely to pick it up.

Keep up the good work & keep drinkin’ beer!

What was the big reveal in Invincible Iron Man? Guess I missed that one.
