Today
is Richard Nixon's 100th birthday. And all I think about is how in
Watchmen he sent Dr Manhattan to Vietnam, thus really affecting history
and repealing the 22nd amendment. (Apparently, he was chosen as a way to
savagely mock Reagan, as Alan Moore said "No one is going to argue that
Nixon is scum", or something like that, which is funny because I was
going on CNN, which had an article about how Nixon could be a new model
for the GOP, but anyway I'm getting off topic.) What was I talking
about? Oh yes, Watchmen. I wonder what G. Gordon Liddy would react to how he was the inspiration for the Comedian? Probably by assassinating Alan Moore. Anyway, that makes me wonder what would happen if you gave criminals copies of Watchmen, how would they react? Would they slam it for being unsympathetic or inaccurate to criminal life? And who would win in a fistfight, Stan Lee or some blogger guy who sits all day reading comcis then saying the comics suck and that he is great?
Ed. note: Sorry, I was playing backgammon with Khloe Kardashian, someone called me to edit this post? I'd love to, but I'm on break.
