Well, thank God that&#8217;s over.

		<title>People are Asking About Dragon*Con</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the past ten years, the TrekTrack at Dragon*Con has had, as its last panel, a solo hour with me.  I was dubious about the proposition initially, but it&#8217;s become something of a tradition and I usually have a packed house.  Apparently a number of people have gotten used to finishing out the [...]]]></description>

I am sitting on the stairs outside the room, rocking slightly, feeling the twisted knots in my stomach, and trying to decide once more whether I should go to the men&#8217;s room and throw up.
Me right before &#8220;The Great Debate?&#8221; Hardly. That wasn&#8217;t for two weeks [...]]]></description>

Both Rob Liefeld and the fans have had an opportunity to respond to my column on giving credit where credit is due. Let&#8217;s see where we stand.

		<title>This Just in&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One American in five now believes that President Obama is a Muslim.  This is apparently regarded as a big story and some sort of commentary on Obama.
It&#8217;s worth noting that in a survey a couple of years ago, thirty-two percent of respondents believed that Vin Diesel was the inventor of the diesel engine.

		<title>Interesting Omission on Bravo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bravo routinely airs two episodes of &#8220;The West Wing&#8221; back to back every morning.  Curiously, with no explanation, they jumped over an episode this morning.  They skipped the one entitled &#8220;Faith Based Initiative.&#8221;  I wonder why.  Well, let&#8217;s check the episode description:

		<title>Scott Pilgrim vs. the Box Office</title>

I also find myself wondering if the director was a fan of &#8220;Speed Racer&#8221; since much of the storytelling and editing was evocative of that film.  I predicted after seeing &#8220;Speed Racer&#8221; that you were going to see a lot of its techniques showing up [...]]]></description>

A couple of things in today&#8217;s symposium:
For the first time in three years of my taking jabs at Marvel in this column, I&#8217;ve actually hit a topic that prompted Marvel reps to say, in essence, &#8220;Hey, we&#8217;d like to be heard on this.&#8221; Seems perfectly [...]]]></description>

Apparently the new angle for criticism is that the hidden agenda reason why Muslims want to build it there is that it&#8217;s a historically-dictated victory monument.  As [...]]]></description>
