Leftovers: Who Woulda Thunk It

• The drought watch is over! I'm sure those along the riverbanks are thrilled. [KYW 1060]

• Apparently, there's a superhero quizzo at the Franklin Institute tonight. Featuring QuizzoMan, who I am sure will be used as a (grade school joke alert) robot boss in Mega Man later this year. [Johnny Goodtimes]

• New Jersey doesn't have a budget yet. And the state's going to shut down all the casinos, beaches, etc., if one doesn't pass. Jon Corzine bought a cot for his office. No, really. [Inquirer]

• Neither does Pennsylvania. Ed Rendell bought 500 hoagies for his office. Okay, not really. [KYW 1060]

• If you ever wanted to hear Chris Webber quote Old School, your wish has been answered. [Mr. Irrelevant's Sports Blog]

• Headline in the Inquirer: "Why not a gay Superman?" [Inquirer]

The other day someone showed me a newspaper with an article about Star Trek, and the accompanying photo was a realistic painting of a topless Kirk and Spock holding each other (not as good as the one where they're eating breakfast, but I guess that didn't make it to print).

I'm going to presume the paper was the Inquirer, and I have to ask - why is the paper so, ahem, hard up for homosexuality in fantasy fiction?
