But regardless of frustration, or who you support....just go out and vote!

Steve Jackson Games Daily Illuminator - November 2, 2004

"I'll vote today, but I'll be grumpy about it. Like - if one believes the polls - a majority of Americans, I am dissatisfied with the choices that the two-party system has thrown up (and that turn of phrase is no accident). And like the majority of Americans, I am in a very significant sense disenfranchised with respect to the Presidential election. I live in Texas. Texas is clearly in the Bush column. My vote doesn't count; even my local effort wouldn't count. If I want to support Bush, he doesn't need it. If I favor someone else, I cannot tilt the scales his way by as much as a hair. The only way I could have affected the election would have been to send somebody a lot of money. What's wrong with this picture?"

The Comics Outsider

A blog geared towards comics, and the infinite amount of rumors that swirl around that industry. Sometimes we can all be such a bunch of gossiping old women. But seriously, this is a very good blog and I think that people with an interest in comics should check it out. Funny and irreverent when it needs to be.

The Comics Outsider [via Colleen]

"A comics rumors website. Contents to be taken with a large handful of salt and then washed down with tequila and probably a half a lime. You'll find no spoilers here (well, unless someone gives me something to spoil but I'll put a big SPOILER somewhere to tell you) and no pimping of my creations because... well, I don't have any."

Area 51

While the warning (below) is from the top of the site's page, all of the links that I clicked on to check worked. The images are broken though, but don't use that as an indicator that you cannot find what you are looking for.

Historian of Things That Never Were

A gigantic link page of timelines for television shows, movies, books, comics and even the settings from role-playing games. Nice help for those who want to use pre-existing settings, but do not have the time to compile all of this information themselves. A great resource for GMs with a time crunch.
