DC Comics villain Lex Luthor has, on three occasions, become President of America. Here's what happened...
Lex Luthor is a man of many talents in the world of DC Comics. He possesses a genius level Iq, is a successful businessman and inventor, exuding charisma from every pore. All of those assets are extremely important when it comes to politics, and that world has provided him with some of his biggest accomplishments.
The power-crazed criminal mastermind has been elected President of the United States multiple times in various stories, but who would vote for a known super-villain? With this in mind, let’s explore three different Luthor presidencies and analyse whether he was fit for the job or not.
Lex 2000
Perhaps the biggest story to involve Luthor as President was the one that took place in DC Comics shortly after the turn of the century. The megalomaniac billionaire...

I’m not keen on moving these days. When I switch my homestead to a new location, I have to find all the spots I was taking for granted – food stores, gas stations, mechanics, restaurants and so on. It usually also means I have to find a new newspaper. Yes, I’ve just proclaimed myself to be a dinosaur and I still read the newspaper every morning over breakfast. Yes, I know they offer electronic editions but I like one I can hold in my hands.
Assuming there is more than one local newspaper (or local-ish), I have to make a choice as to which one I’ll read. I have two primary criterions – where they fall on the political spectrum and what comic strips they have. The latter may be more important to me than the former. I was raised in a Republican household in Chicago so we got...

I’m a fossil. I know it. Proof positive: I read the daily newspaper. Not on a pad or tablet or my computer, I go out and actually buy the blamed thing. I read it during breakfast. Yes, I still get a certain percentage of my news from the computer and/or Jon Stewart and The Daily Show but I like having the physical newspaper, just as I prefer actual books to an e-reader. If I don’t get to read the paper, I get cranky. Or crankier.
I think I got that from my father, Joel W. Ostrander Sr. He was always the first up in the morning but, during my high school years, I was up second. We’d both be at breakfast and we would read the newspaper. I’d get the sections he was done with; that’s where I learned to be possessive about my newspaper.

Seagulls have become a threatened species – because people are denying them a diet of chips covered with new Gravox gravy, according to a new campaign by 303Lowe.
To promote the famous gravy brand’s ‘best ever’ chip gravy, the campaign invites people to help stem ‘this impending natural disaster’ by adopting a Seagull via the Gravox Gravy Save a Seagull Facebook page.
The campaign features TV personality Greg Evans, talking about the ‘chip famine’ facing sea gulls.
The campaign also features a series of poster executions, one featuring a look-alike of U2 singer Bono.
“This category is very competitive with a lot of similar work. We wanted to do something that was more engaging and unexpected, yet still allowed us to show the product in all its glory,” said Simon Langley, Ecd at 303Lowe. “The unintended consequence of a great tasting chip gravy is a potential seagull famine, so the...

Sunday July 15th is the last day of Comic-Con 2012, and most of us will be completely worn out looking like Spider-Man in the image above. Chances are he's asleep under that mask. Sunday has always been a cool down day for us, we kind of just try to relax a little bit more and enjoy it. That doesn't mean their isn't anything to see or do though!
We've got a Fringe screening and Q&A, Doctor Who, Buffy the Vampire Slayer 20th Anniversary, Sons of Anarchy, the annual Buffy the Vampire Slayer musical screening, and more! I've always wanted to go the Buffy musical sing-a-long, but am usually trying to leave San Diego before it starts.
Just a little reminder, we will be having our annual GeekTyrant meet up this year to meet our readers, which is something we always enjoy doing! That will take place on Wednesday night, and...

A crusader from Attrition.org has found that an alarmingly high number of books written by computer security experts are nearly 100% copied from other sources. What does that say about the industry?
Borrowing code is standard operating procedure for those who work with software. All modern computer program languages use what is known as an "object oriented" model, which means code is designed to be modular--like swappable, repeatable, spawning objects. Over time standards have emerged, with programs often inheriting code from third-party libraries. Many popular open source packages like Drupal or Wordpress are not only composed of contributions and "borrowings" of thousands of developers and sources, but are architected to be customized by copying parts to be "overridden." In other words, copying is required, and there are a variety of licenses that specifically allow for it, provided credit is given. Code is a bit like a message in a bottle floating in the ocean.

Did you enjoy Russell Brand and Chris Brown on "Saturday Night Live"? We thought it was one of the weakest episodes in awhile and a waste of Russell Brand's comedic talents. We preferred the use of his wife's talents back in September.
After a decent cold open where Jason Sudeikis as Bill O'Reilly had President Obama (Fred Armisen) on "The O'Reilly Factor, Russell Brand gave an England vs. America monologue that addressed his tight pants, past life with a drug problem and being married now and settling down. It was actually pretty funny.
There was a Travel Channel sketch called "Million Vacation Giveaway" that featured poor Gregory Evans (Brand) as a country boy surprised by Kristen Wiig as the show's enthusiastic host. She was losing her mind and he was not really excited. We have to applaud her commitment to the bit, we thought Wiig might actually suffer a stroke while doing the sketch.

Every time one of you kind (or not) souls posts a comment on one of my articles, I get an email. Through 360 days of 2010, I've received something in the neighborhood of 6000 messages. I read every single one of them, largely because I honestly think that if someone goes to the trouble of reading something I wrote and then takes the time to write something in response, then I owe it to them to read it. In all seriousness, I never cease to feel both lucky and astonished that I get to write here, and that all of you take the time to read my words.

Of course, there are also the spam comments, which shine with their own sickly light. There's something of a train wreck quality to some of the spam that makes them impossible to look away from. There's an almost poetic lilt to the mismatched words and...

Client newspapers of Newspaper Enterprise Association will be treated to a special 16-strip, The Search for Santa. According to Daily Cartoonist, the strip is effectively a spin-off from Luann by Greg Evans.
Nea has been producing annual Christmas strips for their papers since 1937 and this year’s is a reprise to one Evans created previously. Told from the point of view of Puddles, Luann’s dog, it triers to resolve the eternal question of why St. Nick does bring gifts to dogs.
“The nagging question leads Puddles on a long journey, during which he finally finds Santa - and the spirit of the season,” Evans said.
Papers will carry the strip from December 8 through Christmas Day.
