JOHN CONYERS (D-Mich.), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, mocked fellow lawmakers who insist on actually reading legislation before they vote. The message is clear: don’t bother with the details, just trust us. We’ll see if the American public’s opposition to the proposed nationalization of health care stays strong or if something comes along (World Series? Football? Washington scandal?) to distract us.
Also: House defeats bill to deny tax dollars to Planned Parenthood; Pope Benedict defrocks Medjugorje priest; and mother in Dallas decapitates her baby, saying the devil told her to do it.

HISTORY seems to be the theme of today’s show, although that wasn’t our intent when we hit “record”. We talked about a couple of movies we watched over the weekend, which both featured missions to destroy an ancient buried evil that wants to emerge into the light of day to destroy mankind (and both of which starred Ron Perlman of the Hell Boy movies, oddly enough).
We agree–Mutant Chronicles was better than The Devil’s Tomb, which failed to deliver on the intriguing premise of a team of scientists stumbling onto the Abyss in the Iraqi desert. Even the frozen nephilim that was a dead ringer for an alien gray didn’t help.
Elsewhere in the Middle East: Iranian intelligence was intercepting, analyzing, and spoofing messages on Twitter, MySpace, and Facebook during the election protests, thanks to technology from Siemens and Nokia.
Also: the bones of the apostle Paul and the earliest known artist’s rendering of may be his likeness; a 40-year-old old cult tries an image makeover; and NASA suddenly finds the high-quality tapes of the first moon landing that have been missing for 40 years.

WATCHMEN opened #1 at the box office last weekend after months of delay due to a legal battle between Fox and Warner Brothers over the distribution rights. No wonder; the book on which the film is based is the most influential graphic novel of the last 25 years.
Author Alan Moore has also penned the graphic novels-turned-movies V For Vendetta, From Hell, and he created the ceremonial magician character John Constantine for the comic Hellblazer, which was adapted into the Keanu Reeves vehicle Constantine.
Taylor Kent, AKA the Snarky Avenger, is a longtime fan and critic of comics and graphic novels, and he joined us this week to discuss the themes and influence of graphic novels on our culture.
