U.S. Supreme Court

Obama ready to make Supreme Court pick. So I'll let you know who his Top 5 choices are most likely to be. First of course it'll be a woman. No shut up. Seriously. No, it'll be a woman, so just shut up...

Right.

#5: Stephanie McMahon

Daughter of Vince McMahon aka the Billionaire Dollar Princess

Stephanie will bring some much needed ruthlessness to the bench. And if any lawyers or other Justices get uppity? Well then they can have a parking lot meeting with her husband and Sweet Lady Sledge...

#4: Lassie

What? Theres nothing in the Constitution that says a dog can't sit on the Supreme Court. Show me where it says that? Thats what I thought. You racist!

#3: June Cleaver

If she can handle the Beav then issues like right to privacy, prisoner rights and property rights will be no problem. And you knew she could always see right thru that smary Eddie Haskell...

#2: Jocasta

She doesn't wear any clothes, robots are wicked smart and I'm pretty sure she has laser eyes. What more could you want from a judge?

#1: Oprah

Because otherwise his momma done promised him a whuppin'...

Sunday Trade: Scalped

Scalped: Indian Country written by Jason Aaron, Art by R.M. Guera, Colors by Lee Loughridge, Letters by Phil Balsman

Jason Aaron is one of comics rising stars. He's infusing new life into old properties at Marvel and, along with co-creator Guera, is doing one of Vertigo's latest flagship titles with Scalped. The book looks at various characters living on or involved with the Prairie Rose Indian Reservation. Focusing heavily on recently returned prodigal son Dashiell "Dash" Bad Horse. After fifteen years away he returns and gets hired on by local crime boss, tribal chief and chief of police Lincoln Red Crow. Red Crow used to be a major part of the activist movement, alongside Dash's mother Gina Bad Horse. But now he's a corrupt and violent bastard determined to get his new casino up in running at any cost...

Adding to the mix are other activists former and current (like crazy white boy Diesel), FBI agent Nitz looking to pin a 20 year old murder of two FBI agents on Red Crow, Red Crow's self-destructive daughter and other crooks, cops and citizens on the Rez. Not that its always possible to tell those last three apart...

Aaron and Guera are telling a hyper-violent cops/noir/gangster/tribal life/spiritual journey mash-up of a story. And with its diverse cast and interlocking story arcs its no wonder its often looked at as the succesor to the recently ended 100 Bullets...
