		<title>Code in My Nose</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Originally published  October 9, 1992, in Comics Buyer’s Guide #986
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>

The alphabet network decided they wanted Cablevision to cough up an additional $40 million in order to keep carrying their programming; Cablevision said no, if for no other reason, I&#8217;d think, [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s Always the Anti-Gay Politicians&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Senator Roy Ashburn, Republican from Prop 8-happy California, and a staunch opponent to gay rights, was arrested on a DUI while leaving a gay bar with an unidentified male companion.
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.
DC publicists were not ready to talk about it, which is [...]]]></description>

Concluding my endless recollections on the San Diego Comic Con:

Upon my arrival at Los Angeles prior to the convention, I decided that I would rent a cool car. Since so much of that lifestyle hinges on looking cool, I thought I would take a stab [...]]]></description>

No matter how depressed you are, no matter how bad things [...]]]></description>

Continuing assorted ramblings about the San Diego Comic Convention:

		<title>Something Cowboy Pete Found Offensive</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In light of recent discussions, some people might be wondering if there&#8217;s anything that I would find myself saying, &#8220;No, that&#8217;s not right; that&#8217;s not funny, that&#8217;s a bad idea for humor.&#8221;
Well, yes, as a matter of fact.  It happened just recently on an episode of a series that I absolutely adore:  &#8221;30 Rock.&#8221;  They [...]]]></description>

But that&#8217;s probably just me.

In past years I&#8217;ve run a journal of my activities at the San Diego Comic Con.

Word starts circulating among fan magazines that Superman is going to die.

		<title>On Publishers and Vanity</title>

Do we need publishers?
Forget &#8220;Do artists need writers?&#8221; or &#8220;Do writers need artists?&#8221; The question on the floor is &#8220;Do we need publishers?&#8221;
The answer to that is, Yes, of course&#8230; if you&#8217;re a publisher.
