Interracial Couple Denied Marriage License in La.
By Mary Foster, Associated Press Writer
NEW ORLEANS—A Louisiana justice of the peace said he refused to issue a marriage license to an interracial couple out of concern for any children the couple might have. Keith Bardwell, justice of the peace in Tangipahoa Parish, says it is his experience that most interracial marriages do not last long.
“I’m not a racist. I just don’t believe in mixing the races that way,” Bardwell told the Associated Press on Thursday. “I have piles and piles of black friends. They come to my home, I marry them, they use my bathroom. I treat them just like everyone else.”

Problems with eHarmony.ca
• Only gender choices are “Man” and “Woman.”
• Must choose between “Seeking a Man” or “Seeking a Woman” (can’t be both).
Russell Peters
• What if he were white? Could he still do his act? “Hey Chinese people! You sound like this: ching chong ping pong ning nong! Ha ha ha ha ha!” (Audience applauds wildly.)
• Funion* article: ‘Russell Peters Actually Just White Racist in Disguise.’ “After I put on the bronzer and fake nose and had my eyelids altered, I found my act was a lot more popular!” said Peters, who said that he was surprised that no-one ever asked why a supposed East Indian had the last name “Peters.” “The guys at the Heritage Front are going to love this,” he added, donning a conical straw hat and buck teeth.

Comics I Almost Bought Today
The Marvels Project
Steve Epting’s art has changed. I miss the style he used on X-Factor and Factor X. This is the same thing that kept me from buying his Captain America comics a while back.
Incognito
Sean Phillips’ art looked OK, I guess. I find his style rougher and messier than I prefer, but he’s always been basically acceptable, provided nothing else goes wrong. Nothing did with Hellblazer twelve years ago, but Incognito features really bad computer lettering. I just couldn’t do it.
Criminal
Another Sean Phillips-drawn comic, this one from the quarter box. The art looked OK, and the lettering looked OK, but the first sequence I saw when I randomly opened it was a woman pulling a gun and shooting a man because he wasn’t fast enough letting her out of his car after giving her a ride (and not regretting it at all). It looked misandrist and by this point by back hurt from all the standing, so I didn’t go back through the issue to see if I was mistaken. I slid it back into the quarter box, just to be on the safe side. Good thing I happened upon that sequence first.
Message to comics industry: have good art and lettering and don’t be misandrist and you’ll get my money. |

LOL
“The whole thing reminded me a lot of creative writing workshops I used to take in college. I’m pretty sure there’s some kind of unofficial law that hack writers abide by: if a story has a depressing ending, it’s automatically a good story, no matter what else may or may not be wrong with it.”
