American V, streaming on MySpace NOW. It’s the posthumous death-country you need.

IOZ is right about more than just the specific issue of storm insurance in Florida. Florida is a textbook example of government stupidity on the environment. Government collects money from people that don’t stress Florida’s ecology to pay other people to do that very thing. The government sees to it that we pay extra for [...]

Well, that was a mess.

The “stalker” angle that some have noted works in conjunction with some touches that succeed in (purposefully) making Superman a little scary, a little bit the Stranger.
