East and West
“Superman and his buddies will be uniting with The 99, superheroes already popular in the Middle East and who personify the 99 attributes of Allah. Created by Kuwaiti-based Teshkeel Media, The 99 are ordinary people who develop special abilities after coming into contact with a mystical glass. They do not have secret identities and include
One For the Road
“You’re going to get this treatment your whole life. What are you going to do, stand up every time?” Well… YEAH.
The Last King of Scotland
“We are not a game, Nicholas.” I am sad we had to have a white male protag to follow around in order to tell a black guy’s story. The Ugandan doctor who saves his ass would have made a much better protagonist. Forest Whitaker is amazing in this movie. It’s worth every blessed penny to

This should sound a tad familiar to those who’ve been following God’s War. The main character is snarky and

Honestly, These Speeches Just Keep Getting Better
I haven’t been proud to be an American in over 10 years. I’m still, not, particularly, but I have hope that someday soon I will be.

Bound
A first reader of God’s War argued that there must be a better term for the wraps/cloth one uses to bind one’s breasts other than, “breast binding.” I finally sat down and did some research tonight, and I’m telling you: I still can’t find a better term. The closest I came to finding a less
