Quote: I'm sure the badgers will be properly thankful.Quote: Loved the short story, and that you set it within current events. On this side of the pond there have been plenty of editorials wishing that Captain America was real so that the might knock some common sense (or some actual, self-sacrificing Patriotism in the form of putting what's best for the country ahead of party politics) into Congress.I watched with mounting horror as the US played out a live action episode of The West Wing. The budget debate and the threatened shut down was the centrepiece of the first half of series five. Quote: It's the simple solutions (like enraging ancient deities) to complex problems that make super-heroes such effective escapist entertainment to begin with.That's probably true. We enjoy the illusion that problems have solutions. How depressing. | |||||||
