But apparently, the other Todd James Seavey (perhaps the only other Todd James Seavey?) passed away last week, days after me blathering about aging and birthdays. Rest in peace, my namesake.

No, you did not misread that headline. The comics site ComicMix is surveying prez candidates for their choice for favorite superhero, and Ron Paul (or a very well-informed young nerd on his staff to whom the strange task was likely delegated) quite rightly chose Baruch Wane, the Jewish, Nazi-era version of Batman created for […]
No time for analysis! Must fight!!
•••Tonight’s 9/11 did-government-know debate, with Sander Hicks vs. Karol Sheinin (I’m goin’ — heck, I’m hostin’)

Hey, I’ve got a letter in the Wall Street Journal this morning, defending drug patents and criticizing Doctors Without Borders (my general attitude is, why go after the usual targets?).
It’s fairly typical of the sorts of arguments made by the group I work for, the American Council on Science and Health. With even a […]
My home phoneline appears to be out of commission right now, in case anyone out there’s noticed. Faring better than New Orleans so far, though. UPDATE: Fixed, and in any case my problems today seem petty compared to those of Virginia Tech (which, as it appears John McCain would agree, might have been spared […]
