I has srs linky: the indispensible Digby provides “It’s the Blacks”, a fantastic overview of the way the media played out the Hurricane Katrina story. Remember all those accounts of wild, looting gangs that were making people fear for their lives? The ones that led to the Red Cross being forbidden to go down there for safety reasons? Well, turns out these accounts were… less than accurate. Go read and find out just how much the story you know doesn’t match what really happened there.
Other linky:
An EC Shock Suspenstories called “The Monkey” about the perils of the reefer! Check it out and get your lingo up to date: “Hey Eddie, c’mon along! Me and some of the gang are going to blast a few of these!” “What are they, Sid?” “Pot grass butts, you square! Don’t you pop this stuff yet?” “MARIJUANA?!” “Cool it you jerk! You want to get me twisted? Some narc may be pinning us!”
Also on the comics tip, if you know that ROM was from Galador, you must not miss the ISB’s ROM-week.
Finally, via the other moose, I give you Giger Alien Salad.
