A reviewer for GoodReads offered up her thoughts in a December review of the upcoming Wonder Woman: Earth One graphic novel by Grant Morrison and Yanick Paquette. A negative review took the creators and the publisher to task for what she perceived to be deviant fantasies. Several geek-centric sites, including Bleeding Cool, noted how this sparked conversations and negative comments from fans, both for the anticipated book and the reviewer’s ethics. The review has since been taken down.
These discussions erupted just as I had finished reading The Language Police: How Pressure Groups Restrict What Students Learn by Diane Ravitch. My Aunt Carolyn lent it to me, and I procrastinated in reading it. In the end, I was so glad I read it. It tells the disturbing tale about how interest groups, from both the left and the right, have influenced the content of accepted textbooks in American schools.

Wow, y'all, pickings are slim tonight. And I don't mean in the "there's nothing good on" sense, I mean there's nothing on. Good, bad, indifferent or otherwise. At least nothing new, I guess there may be some interesting re-runs happening somewhere. I hope you've got books or some DVDs to keep you busy otherwise, god forbid, you might actually have to interact with other people and we all know how much those of us who spend time on the internet hate that. As best I can tell from movies and TV shows, we're all either super genius teenagers who "hack" in some kind of competitive fashion or lonely obese men in basements with no lights stuffing our face with some variety of neon-colored snack food and soda who like to pretend we're nubile 21 year old women with fabulous social lives who also somehow manage to have time to talk dirty...
