Sophie Says Sooth (2002.11.04): "However, because my readership does not (to my knowledge) extend to remote parts of Africa that have no electricity and advanced medicine, I am forced to the conclusion that this situation does not apply to you. Stop eating dirt! You have no need for this."

Matriculation Reloaded (2002.11.03): "There's something tremendously gratifying about downloading porn over a wireless campus Internet connection while the crazy Libertarian candidate for Governor pumps fists mere feet away. 'I really need your vote,' shake, shake, shake."

Sophie Says Sooth (2002.10.28): "Welcome to the club. It's been suggested by more than one person (just this week) that I, too, am a sociopath. In my case I'm not sure I buy it, but since you've got a professional diagnosis, let's concentrate for a moment on your problem."


Juliana Hatfield / Gold Stars 1992-2002: "As interesting and important as it is, though, I never would have bought it had I not found a copy for $10 at a used record store called Nuggets in Boston. I have all of Juliana's solo records, which means I have all the would-be hits including here."

Transmetropolitan: Back on the Street: "Spider Jerusalem, despite generally coming off as a PCP-addicted version of Daffy Duck, is a very deep character in terms of moral core and values. Such is the case when Spider lashes out at the womanizing leader of the Transient community regarding his abuse of authority over the Transients and his habit of knocking up his female followers."

Kay Hanley / Cherry Marmalade: "When the tenth track, 'Galapagos,' came on, I nearly tuned the road out entirely. It's one of those tracks that comes by once every few years, saying exactly what your inner siren is trying to express at exactly the right time; for me, the last one was Juliana's 'Choose Drugs' in the spring of 2000."


San Diego Comic-con 2002: Part 1: "A lot of it sounded like standard conspiracy theory bullshit; I would like to believe him about the income taxes, though. Apparently it has something to do with the improper ratification of the 16th Amendment and taxing our privilege of earning money."
