The Dark Knight Returns!




My favourite superhero is Batman. Looks like there's some new stuff coming out. Check here.

Batman is cool because he's human. His wit, intellect, physical prowess, and other human features that are trained and tuned with endless hard work and effort allow him to become a superhero. He's not born with his powers. Granted he was born into wealth, but you need a little something to start you off. Batman is a loner, who has gone through several side-kicks, either as they've been killed off or grown old. He's a no strings attached, independent villain butt kicker! I also like how Batman comics tend to be darker and richer with emotion. He's only human after all. Superman on the other hand seems to live in the light and is almost always near perfection.

Mr. 郭

There's been a recent controversy in Taiwan over the scandalous writings of the government information officer, 郭冠英, stationed in Toronto. Here's an op-ed piece from Taipei Times. I agree with Mr. Cole that although freedom of speech is guaranteed and necessary in a democratic country, once you are employed in the government, there should be limitations to what can and cannot be said. The writings of Mr. Kuo, even though posted anonymously, breaks the trust that the public has in him as an official representative of Taiwan in Toronto, and is a breach of his responsibility to the citizens of the land of Taiwan. Frankly, I think Mr. Kuo's an idiot. ***** He said it'd be OK to kill my wife By J. Michael Cole 寇謐將 Thursday, Mar 26, 2009, Page 8 We met when I worked as an intelligence officer in Canada, part of an organization that at times risked making racism and hatred for the “other” — in that case, mostly Arabs and Muslims — a normal policy.
