		<title>Turkey Hero</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Originally published  October 30, 1992, in Comics Buyer’s Guide #989
When you look back at 1992 and are asked what movie best epitomizes what the literature of heroic fiction in general and comic books in specific is supposedly about&#8230;
What are you going to reply? The chances are that most people would kind of shrug their [...]]]></description>

		<title>This Really Blows</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Weather is fearsome outside.  Pounding rains, dark skies, and winds as high as 35 mph.  Tornadoes are rare on Long Island but not unprecedented.  I&#8217;m watching the skies.

Ramblings about a couple of things:
I&#8217;ve had the interesting experience of witnessing the polar opposites of comic book collecting within a 48-hour period.
On Friday, I flew out to Austin,  Texas, and did a signing at a store down there called The Book Source. A [...]]]></description>

Yes, I see a hand raised. You, over in Oh, So?

		<title>And We&#8217;re Good To Go for Blogging the Oscars</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No, as of this writing, ABC and Cablevision haven&#8217;t come to terms.  Instead I took Robert Fuller&#8217;s advice:  I found a nearby hotel that has ABC and was charging a dirt cheap room rate since it was last minute and Sunday is a dead day for them.  So the Davids decamped to [...]]]></description>

People tend to say such things are ironic, but technically it&#8217;s not.  It&#8217;s being caught in a display of hypocrisy, but there&#8217;s not an actual [...]]]></description>

Front page news.
&#8220;The Death of Superman&#8221; has finally hit the media, landing with a very loud splash on the front page of Newsday. And since Newsday is a tabloid, front page means the whole page.
