Re Superman's sex life, SF writer Larry Niven did a delightful piece many years ago called "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex." It's available online -- highly recommended.

That was pretty good - with scenarios I never imagined (and now have those images stuck in my head).

Agree that it is outrageous that the "Chappelle hurt my feewings" news cycle will last longer than the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. I'm even more incensed by how the drone strike based on faulty intelligence, that killed a bunch of kids, has been completely forgotten by our media. The president hasn't faced a single question about it, let alone any hostile questions that should be expected after such a disaster.

"Man of Steel" indeed!

Bill there's so many important stories that don't get covered. Part of me thinks the media are running interference for certain politicians but the other part says the media knows they'll get more "clicks" on stories about Dave Chappelle than on Afghanistan. Probably both thoughts are true.
