No, really… Nothing.

    • What Does It Say When A Comedy Show Does More Fact Checking Than News Programs? November 20, 2009
      Poynter has an interesting article, looking at The Daily Show as being a leader in media criticism, an area where it does an excellent job, even if that's not its intention. But, what struck me most of all in the description of the team behind the show, was that it has a full-time researcher and fact-checker, who looks for multiple sources to verify the […]

    • Michigan No Fault Law Update Should I Still Ride On The Shoulder? October 1, 2009
      Some of our readers may recall our article in the Spring 2002 issue of Michigan Bicyclist (http://www.lmb.org/pages/Resources/Legal/ShouldIRideontheShoulder.htm) in which we discussed whether or not cyclists were obligated to ride on the shoulder. It was our opinion then that it is good habit and common sense to ride on the shoulder if it is suitable. Suitab […]

    • Finding the laws that govern us November 17, 2009
      As many of us recall from our civics lessons in school, the United States is a common law country. That means when judges issue opinions in legal cases, they often establish precedents that will guide the rulings of other judges in similar cases and jurisdictions. Over time, these legal opinions build, refine and clarify the laws that govern our land. For av […]

Calvin and Hobbes go to the Dark Side?

Posted by wolfger on June 5, 2009

Read a very interesting thesis on how Calvin and Hobbes grew into “Jack” and Tyler Durden, much like Annakin Skywalker becoming Darth Vader (except, of course, Fight Club portrays these characters as an anti-hero as opposed to Vader being painted an outright villain). It’s a bit of a stretch in spots (Robert Paulson is Moe?), but it’s an entertaining read that’s hard to argue with. If you’ve got a few minutes, check it out. And if you haven’t watched Fight Club yet, what the hell are you waiting for??!?
