Still not guilty!!! At 58.

Considering her age, she looks great.

that is WAY too much analysis for a comic book character


Considering that comic books have always been a reflection of the society and culture from which they are drawn, I think analysis is warranted. Too many people write off comics as a waste of time, silly entertainment, or "just another form of art."

Comics are a social commentary as much as any documentary. They just target a different audience and use fantastic characters and situations to address societal issues.

Captain America is the best example. He was created and first appeared in 1941. It's no accident that his creation coincided with United States involvement with the war.

But even modern comics serve as a platform for political commentary. Writer Mark Millar used The Ultimates 2 to make a statement against U.S. foreign policy and involvement. It's no surprise that many comic book readers are leaning left. After all, their heroes are becoming more liberal.

It's a common mistake to write off the fancies of youth as unimportant, but remember that those fancies influence their thinking and can have very real consequences in the political arena.

Food for thought.

In last week's Paris shows for spring, male models walked down the runway showing off skinny legs in high waist shorts, with a feminine dickey peeking out from the neckline of their sweaters. Especially eye-catching were shorts that looked like skirts with a flap of material inserted between the legs.

Could you pass me the brain bleach, Kas? I'm gonna need it after I pull my head from the Porcelain Princess....

"...Considering her age, she looks great...

Oh I agree! But 30 years is 30 years.

I guess that this is just "greater".

[MEGoody]

Ewwww. . .she needed to shave her pits in this picture. (Yeah, I know guys. You weren’t looking at her pits.)

[Frank_2001]

Think about that before you get married, and learn to deal with it;)

[MEGoody]

Yeah and it was you some dumba$$ WOMEN and a bunch of metrosexual men who put Hussein in the White House!

There. . .fixed it.

[ArrogantBustard]

Women age ... so do men.

Some age more gracefully than others.

I think she's lovely.

“But stats for graduating class of 2000 - 10 years after graduating the number of real grunting clinicians (those practicing) the proportion is like 80:20 male : female.”

This (the lack of real commitment to practice) was known when affirmative action was used to prejudice admissions to med school etc. against men. They did it for “equality” and to keep the feminists from shrieking louder.

Why is he putting up a curtain when the painting is obviously not completed. What a doofus...What the hell is he trying to prove??

[Sacajaweau]

My sons always said she had nice eyes.

[Lazamataz]

I’d hit it.

[Lazamataz]

I’d hit it.

That just ain't right for college guys. Two thumbtacks and a bedsheet would work.

There's something wrong with those two fellows in your picture.

[Last Dakotan]

Or to put it bluntly, woman is the new man.

I was at a huge music festival in Milwaukee a couple weeks ago. Thousands and thousands of people from all stripes came. More than anything else, I was surprised to see just how masculine women have become.

Considering her age, she looks great.

Well, 'ol Bill Clinton probably thinks she looks great, but then again, he thinks Peruvian mummies are hot.

[ArrogantBustard]

Bill Clinton and Laz seem to have approximately the same taste in women, photoshop jobs, and gelded llamas.

I stand by my assessment. Lynda Carter is still lovely.

Notice I do not use the term "hot".

[stevie_d_64]

She could tie me up with that lasso of truth!!!

I would probably tell the truth anyway, lasso or not...;-)
