This is great! Just look at the expression on his face... is there any question that Superman is a ... really big jerk?


OK, I'm done now. Carry on.

Worst. Adoptive. Father. Ever

At Superdickery.com, you can view all the stunning evidence that Superman was, in fact, a ... well, a really big jerk. It's all there, on these original comic book covers. Also available: galleries featuring bizarro super powers, comic appearances by gorillas, and panels that are just plain wrong if read out of context. Do not attempt to drink milk while viewing this site - unless you're fond of that out-your-nose experience!


One small example...

Thanks to Dad and Jeff for insisting I visit this site.

Tillman's Parents Are Critical Of Army - Yahoo! News

More than a year after their son was shot several times by his fellow Army Rangers on a craggy hillside near the Pakistani border, Tillman's mother and father said in interviews that they believe the military and the government created a heroic tale about how their son died to foster a patriotic response across the country. They say the Army's 'lies' about what happened have made them suspicious, and that they are certain they will never get the full story.

'Pat had high ideals about the country; that's why he did what he did,' Mary Tillman said in her first lengthy interview since her son's death. 'The military let him down. The administration let him down. It was a sign of disrespect. The fact that he was the ultimate team player and he watched his own men kill him is absolutely heartbreaking and tragic. The fact that they lied about it afterward is disgusting.'

Rep John Conyers: "Creating Reasons to Go to War"

Rep. Conyers blogs on a damning new leak that reveals plans for an Iraq invasion well before the Bush administration had asked for or received Congress' authorization to make war:
Unfortunately, the mainstream media in the United States was too busy with wall-to-wall coverage of a 'runaway bride' to cover a bombshell report out of the British newspapers. The London Times reports that the British government and the United States government had secretly agreed to attack Iraq in 2002, before authorization was sought for such an attack in Congress, and had discussed creating pretextual justifications for doing so.

The Times reports, based on a newly discovered document, that in 2002 British Prime Minister Tony Blair chaired a meeting in which he expressed his support for 'regime change' through the use of force in Iraq and was warned by the nation's top lawyer that such an action would be illegal. Blair also discussed the need for America to 'create' conditions to justify the war.
