The Spawn-Child

Lemme tell you, it's nice being ridiculously wealthy again. We've already been yacht-jousting several times! And Tallahassee has taken to raising tapirs. Apparently their milk cures freckles? We'll see.

In ridiculous news, (and via Mr. Jon Rosenberg) several newspapers have decided not to run Berkely Breathed's latest Opus comics because they deal with -- I hope you're sitting down -- Islam! How dare someone do this! How could someone do this

I gotta be honest though, I haven't been reading Opus because a) I heard it wasn't good and b) I thought it was just in newspapers, and ol' Jeffrey is wired up so that he has about as much need for a newspaper as the Queen of England has for a coupon for fifty cents off an order of curly fries at Arby's. Fortunately Salon runs Opus on the Nets of Inter and it's dang good!
