If you ever quote Wesley Snipes in my presence again, I'll smack the Cheetos crumbs right out of your beard...

^ I think Wesley Snipes said it best: "Always bet on black."

Geordi's expression in the thumbnail below is much more appropriate than that shit-eating grin he has at the end of the vid. He must've got a peek at that filthy uniform of Wesley's.

Reading back it looks like I have a huge boner for the Wanted graphic novel... I just think it's a good read, with great art. I do find all the rape and casual mass murder to be disturbing, but that stuff is in there because to show Wesley is rotten to the core.

You're correct. The wanted graphic novel is not anywhere near as good as Watchmen. They're not even in the same league. However, almost nothing is in the same league as Watchmen, so that's not really much of an observation at all. It's like saying Commando is not as good as Citizen Kane. Yeah, no shit, genius.

The celebration of rape and murder does disturb me in Wanted, but the context of it being a villain's story is all I need to rationalize it. Wesley Gibbons is a fucking evil bastard who deserves to die, we just happen to be reading his story.

Weak plot? The Wanted graphic novel has an extremely tight and well-plotted story. Don't think it's fair to criticize the plot at all.

Congratulations man. There's some great horror stuff in there. Wesley Willis too!

Hahaha, the story teller is Will Wheaton aka Wesley from ST TNG !

I'm glad I brought my woman to Vegas. It game me something to do after looking at all that scantily clad eye candy.

Dr. Butler was shot down over North Vietnam in April, 1965 and was brought to the Hanoi Hilton prison, two and a half years prior to McCain's arrival. He spent eight years in captivity. Butler is critical of McCain's habitual use of his P.O.W. story to advance his presidential campaign. "John has allowed I think the media to make him out to be the P.O.W., the hero, and in fact there were over 600 just like him who performed just as well." Echoing a similar assertion from General Wesley Clark two months ago, Butler continues, "I think I can say with authority that the Prisoner Of War experience is not a good prerequisite for President of the United States."

Having lived across the hall from John McCain at the U.S. Naval Academy prior to combat, Butler was a close witness to McCain's famously volatile temperament. "He was very sensitive and touchy and just easy to anger," says Dr. Butler. "John McCain is not somebody I would like to see with his finger near the red button." Butler continues, "John McCain's temperament makes it clear that he is not cut out to be President of the United States."

Butler points to the health risks faced by former Prisoners Of War as another cause for concern about a McCain presidency - a concern publicly heightened in recent days by McCain's selection of a political novice as a running mate. "The data show that the Prisoner Of War group are dying at an earlier age and that we suffer lots of residual things that non-P.O.W. group really doesn't have to deal with. And it's imperative that we have someone who is healthy and can stand the rigors of that job."

Other military veterans agree with Butler's criticism of McCain's exploitation of his P.O.W. story. Writes Brandon Friedman, a veteran of both Iraq and Afghanistan and author of 'The War I Always Wanted': "To see McCain resort to playing the POW card when answering legitimate questions, in my mind, cheapens that experience. And by cheapening his own experience in war, he degrades all of our experiences in war. He turns the horrific incidents we've all seen, touched, smelled, and felt into a lame excuse to earn political points. And it dishonors us all."

From YT: We are sure this video will draw an onslaught of right-wing attacks, but we bring it to you because it is our job to continue to convey the truth together and give these issues national attention. As Dr. Butler has said, McCain does not have the temperament to have his finger near the red button. Get this video to everyone you know—friends, family members, coworkers, and especially those who don't share your political views. The video is designed to reach them. Get it on your social networking sites like Digg. And get it to every blog, newspaper, and TV station that has ever overplayed McCain's POW story. It is time to fight back with truth!

The mainstream press has already begun to call out McCain for overusing his POW story. And it's cut across all political persuasions. * "Whether he's deflecting criticism over his health-care plan or mocking a tribute to the Woodstock music festival, Senator John McCain has a trump card: the Hanoi Hilton. — Edwin Chen, Bloomberg * "Noun, Verb, POW" — Andrew Sullivan, The Atlantic Monthly * "The McCain campaign's constant invocation of the candidate's POW past is weird bordering on irrational..." — Ana Marie Cox, TIME * "I think they are going to it way too many times." — Howard Fineman, Newsweek

Remember how Joe Biden got the press to refer to Rudy Giuliani as "A noun, a verb, and 9/11"? Well, let's actually take Andrew Sullivan's lead here and get the media to boil McCain down to a similar phrase: "A noun, a verb, and POW." Considering how often the McCain campaign invokes his POW story, isn't that what they're already doing?

This is a huge mistake, arresting Amy Goodman of all people. I think maybe the cops didn't know who she was - I mean the woman has interviewed Chomsky, Nader, Wesley Clark, Naomi Klein... She's got friends.

^(Pirate Wesley)I do not envy the headache you will have when you awake. Until then sleep well, and dream of large women.

God, I hate Wesley Crusher.

I've met Wesley Willis. This is one of his best songs.
