Every single one of his blogs
Is titled a number, and starts with a watch….

Balkinization: Scroll down for links to Marty Lederman’s essential posts on the detainee abuse (since I guess we can’t call it “torture” because it, like, makes Laura Bush feel bad?) compromise; but for now, a leftist’s union blues.

Disputed Mutability is back!!! R0xx0rz. And as usual, her comments section has a ton of interesting stuff, like this comment about expectations of same-sex friendships.

Hit & Run: Heart of Tony Starkness. Iron Man is one of my favorite superheroes, in part because he was the only bright spot in the first vol. of Mark Millar’s irksome Ultimates. If people have awesome Tony comics (…or fanfiction?) to recommend, I’m all bionic ears.

SpaceBlog: What does outer space smell like? Anousheh Ansari, Iranian space tourist lady, tells us. This is… really just terrific. I was made for an age like this, you know?

As long as we’re geeking out here–are any of you all watching Heroes? It sounds really well-conceived and maybe well-written: Super-Hiro and Wolverine the Cheerleader and the Flying Shark all sound kind of awesome to me. But I’ve heard the acting is crap. True/false? (…Yeah, not that this is wildly relevant in the short term, since in the spring my television decided to give up television for Lent, so I’m lucky if I get one channel. But still–Heroes? y/n?)

And: In re the blogwatch heading, I recently pushed “OK By Me,” from Martin Tielli’s Operation Infinite Joy, on a music geek who gushingly compared it to David Bowie. (I’m thinking Spiders from Mars era.) This comparison is less true of We Never Even Suspected That He Was the Poppy Salesman; but it really does work for OIJ, I think, and if it intrigues you, why not check the guy out?
