Random Notes from a Crank

Moscow Don's racist twitterstorm about the Squad shouldn't surprise anyone. 

"An Oral History of Trump's Bigotry" in the June issue of The Atlantic does a fine job of showing how his "go back to their countries" idiotic comment is par for the racist course. 

People need to read "12 Facts That Show Why Bottled Water Is One of the Biggest Scams of the Century" from Business Insider. 

A friend on FB shared an image about hemp that I found interesting. Here are the points:

• "Anything made from plastic can be made from hemp.
• Hemp requires about half the amount of water that cotton needs.
• 1 acre of hemp produces the same amount as 4.1 acres of trees.
• 1 acre of hemp produces more oxygen than 25 acres of forest." 

I'm told all that is true. 

America needs to start growing lots of damn hemp, people. 

Random Notes from a Crank

On Father's Day Mrs. Nasty, the kids, and I went to the Wonder Woman movie. I enjoyed it. I'm not a DC Comics kind of guy, but it was an entertaining movie. Of the DC comics characters, Wonder Woman is one of my favorites. 

And the actress who plays Wonder Woman is hotter than the hinges hanging off the gates of Hell. 

Unfortunately for her, "Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman Salary Was Shockingly Low." 

This past weekend I took my son to the local comic book store, and he picked up a copy of Black Panther Vol. 1 by Ta-Nehisi Coates. I read it that afternoon. I really enjoy Coates' work, but the narrative was a little too fragmented for me. 

One of my excellent discoveries was that Bendis created a new stand-alone Jessica Jones narrative. Good stuff people.
