  • DC Comics – We Can Be Heroes

    DC Entertainment (aka DC Comics) has decided to step up for aid to Africa with their We Can Be Heroes Campaign.  Essentially they are putting the Justice League Superheroes (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, etc.) up front to drive awareness and raise money for famine relief in the Horn of Africa.

    Better still they are matching funding dollar for dollar for the first $1 million.

    And while this isn’t time for my typical charity drive, I am doing a special one off this week on Google Plus.  For those on Google Plus who want to help, click here to see my post there, and then share it.  For every share of that post I get this week, I’ll donate $1 up to $500 total.

  • Editorial Cartoon: United Nations Declares Broadband Basic Human Right

    Editorial Cartoon: United Nations Broadband Basic Human Right

    Today’s editorial cartoon was inspired by our friends at the United Nations who last week declared that Broadband internet access is now included in the list of Basic Human Rights. Yes right up there with food, shelter, clean water and healthcare is the right to spank your monkey watching full speed downloads of porn videos. OK maybe you have more lofty goals like coordinating protests ala the Arab Spring over the web.

    But seriously, Broadband?? My in-laws still use dial up and are just fine.  Agree or disagree?  Any other “basic” rights you would add to the U.N. list?
