About the only thing I was reading in the Sun the last few months was the comics. I cancelled when I moved, and I don't even miss them.
Can't you ever get your mind out of the hellmouth?

he problem with the programs being that they depended on an ever increasing pool of people or at least a constant one contributing, and that was a bad model.
Actually the idea that social security is trouble in nonsense. Know any other pension fund fully funded through 2030+ ? As to Medicare: sure it is trouble - just like the rest of the U.S. healthcare system. Medical costs have been growing faster than the rest of the economy. Of course that is unsustainable. If it went on forever, medical expenses would eventually be 100% of the economy. (Straight line extrapolation, and of course it won't happen. But still a good indication that the problem is not Medicare, but our health care system.)

OK, towards the end of this, I think you can see the external tank start to burn up: [link]

All you worst comic people are so wrong, because, unless I missed it, nobody mentioned Nancy.

I haven't seen Nancy since I was 7. Never been included in a paper I read since. I remember it as boring, but with no car-crash quality that compelled me to read and be annoyed. Of course at 7 I probably missed a lot...

I almost mentioned Nancy, but decided my hatred of Andy Capp was enough.

Annoyingly, that tapping you can hear about halfway through is me pressing the button to zoom in. Poor design, Kodak! But for the size and price the image quality is pretty freaking awesome. (It's the new Zx1, in case people are curious.)

I can't believe how big he is! Matilda just went through that OMG-not-a-baby-anymore transition and it amazes me every time.
