One obvious question that needs to be asked about Garropolo is , if he starts for the '49ers, will he survive the rest of the season ?. At the moment they don't have an offensive line, they have a set of revolving doors ! I'm a niners fan but geez their offensive line is looking dire this year, and injuries haven't helped. Good luck to Jimmy G but, if he plays this year , he'll earn whatever they are paying him.

Had a spaceship named after him in an S F novel too !

Now i'm not an American but I think that you may be being optimistic suggesting a Republican bloodbath. With so many states having Republican governors i'm sure they will find a way to ensure that many Democrat supporters don't get to vote or don't have their vote counted or something. Then there is the question of what effect Steve Bannon will have on things,could the U S congress become MORE right wing because of his efforts ? Then you have Fox media; is it still as pro Republican as it was ? If so, what chance have the Democrats got ?

Cooler ! Phooey ! Aquaman talks to fish, AND they do what he tells them. What could be cooler that THAT !

It feels even worse to me to see General Kelly defending Trump's crass remarks to the mother of that fallen soldier.

Being already dead not needing to breath would be a useful ability for a mummy character. Perhaps some immunity to poison as well ?

Nah ! It is Black Manta and Ocean Master up to their tricks. Ireland will need Aquaman to save it !

Another narrow loss for the 49ers. Hmm (picks up tinfoil hat) maybe those people who said that they should tank ARE being listened to. Still seems too early to be tanking.

I wonder why he didn't just use the name of the real French submarine that he based this one on the "Surcouf" ?

I think that the opposite of "speak softly and carry a big stick" is "Yell like hell and wave a twig ".

As a 49ers fan I hate to admit it but, at the moment, the Niners are outsucking everyone ! Sigh ! I can only hope that they will improve as the season wears on.

So they got another shorty to play "Wonder Woman" ? 5ft 10" is six inches shorter than Wonder Woman is supposed to be (according to "the D C Comics Encyclopedia").

Oh and getting back to the D C universe I thionk that "Wonder Woman" has restored some of my faith in the ability of Warner Brothers to make super hero films that appeal to a wide audience.

At the risk of upsetting the Diana Rigg/Emma Peel fans here I have to say that I always preferred Honor Blackman's Cathy Gale when it came to ":Avengers "girls. (I like Emma and Purdey too, but Cathy was THE original kick ass, leather clad avenger)

"Dig Here !" by Thomas Penfield. If you want to go treasure hunting in the American south west then this is the book for you ! 81 lost treasures (mines. outlaw loot and other buried treasures). in California, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas.

And Bannon 's comments reinforce that. Will losing the support of Breitbart have any effect on Trump or his base ?

Fair enough. That is probably a workable solution.

I'd like to hear from the people who were there protesting against the removal of the statue, before the neo nazis and others turned up.

I don't believe you ! Really "Cassandra" you should just go and see Apollo about that curse and get him to fix it !

Are you intending to at some point or do they hold little interest for you ?

That seems to be exactly how Trump operates. Come up with a plan that he (and his cronies) KNOW is going to hurt a lot of people (such as health care) then, while it is being debated, say something outrageous to distract the media and critics while you get it enacted.

Interesting "Kharis 2000" I don't have anything on the San Francisco Tong wars but I DO have a book titled "Tong Wars :The Untold Story Of Vice, Money and Murder in New York's Chinatown" By Scott D Seligman (Viking, 2016). Apparently set in 1925.

How many floors on the Empire State Building ? I was going by the description in ""Doc Savage " His Apocalyptic Life" which states (p 69) that it is 86 stories tall. True any new building would therefore be on his roof, but i think he'd still object !

Just finished "Please Don't Tell My Parents I'm A Supervillain" by Richard Roberts. Lots of fun about a group of adolescent (middle school I think) kids with super powers who become, sort of by accident, super villains. Some interesting ideas and fun characters and , while I may not read the next book in the series for a while, I quite enjoyed this one.
