A Descent into Dullness

Spider-Man writer Marc Guggenheim "defends" Brand New Day story-arc:

"Part of the problem with the controversy behind One More Day is the understanding of what was retconned overstates the extent of what was done. Everything that happened in the last twenty plus years of comic book history happened! The only difference is that Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson weren't married. They still dated. They still lived together. They still love each other. They just weren't married. Judging from the letters and death threats we received, I think some people were confused. It all still happened. Here's my attitude, if anyone is upset about the marriage going away, then they must all be pro gay marriage. Because if you're pro gay marriage, you understand the distinction between a marriage and a civil union -- that a civil union is not equal to a marriage. We downgraded Mary Jane and Peter to a civil union. If that bothers you, then you're pro gay marriage."

Gallup has McCain and Obama tied at 44% each". Seriously America, are you THAT fucking scared of black people that you'd vote in FOUR MORE FUCKING years of the SAME SHIT?

I'd already been planning to vote for Obama at this point. But the most recent remarks by Sen. Clinton mean that if the rest of the party's front runners were to be kidnapped by Martians I'd sooner vote for Nader...
