The League goes political
Recently the President of the United States has been partaking in a "counter-offensive" as both press and politicians have been raising questions about the reasoning and evidence produced to draw the US into the ongoing war in Iraq. President Bush has stated that those questioning the war at this point are "deeply irresponsible".
I would point you toward this evening's installment of "The Adventures of Steanso", in which former Marine Lee Thweatt reflects upon the situation.

That creeping silence you've been hearing at The League has been a lot of unfortunate distraction.
We've got a lot of unfun stuff going on, but I'll let Jamie fill you in when she's home again.
Anyhoo, here's the good news: the teaser trailer for Superman Returns will air tomorrow night during Smallville.
I guarantee that it will knock your socks off. So go set your DVRs and TiVOs, Leaguers! It's SUPERMAN!!! (and we here at The League are quite fond of The Man of Steel...)
Anyway, look for it. it'll also be showing in some theaters with Harry Potter this weekend.
Up, up and away!

Suns off to a rocking 2-3 start!
Ugh.
Well, they've got 3 new guys on their starting line, Amare is out, and Steve is falling apart.
Ugh.
Luckily, this Bell guy is really good and Diaw seems to be working out. We're not getting killed out there, but, still... it's a 2-3 start.
Gotta stick with my boys. I know they'll turn it around.

Thanks, Moms
Word to our mothers.
The League and Mrs. League have been having a hard time of late, and due to some unforeseen difficulties, we were in need of some extra help around League HQ.
Special thanks to Judy and the KareBear for coming out to the miserable desert for a week each and offering a helping hand.
The League especially enjoyed the visits as The League got away without cooking for two weeks and only occasionally doing dishes.
Hooray for Moms!

Aquaman to get own TV series...
also
Sweet mother of crap! Has the whole world gone mad?
Look, THE LEAGUE LIKES AQUAMAN! Do not let it be said otherwise.
Based on the strength of the "Aquaman" episode of Smallville the WB is working on a Smallville spin-off for the King of the Seven Seas.
Aquadork is getting his own show.
The League has a theory. Here it is (hold on to your hats):
Good looking people in swimsuits sell ad-space.
Aquaman's comics do not even begin to lend themselves to being a good idea for TV. They mostly take place underwater and involve a complex monarchy system, losses of limbs and dead babies. And a sidekick named "Garth".
My guess is nobody but about a handful of comic nerds knows or cares about Aquaman's story, and we can expect for all of that to be scrapped for a beachside resort which constantly faces crooks and criminals of the supernatural variety.
Yes, Aquaman is being turned into Baywatch Nights. (And, yes, at the height of X-Files' popularity, Baywatch Nights became a show about supernatural menaces).
Oh, Leaguers...
The League supposes we will watch the pilot as we are often wrong, and we are always curious to see how mainstream supoerhero properties will be mangled in the wrong hands.

Famous DJ not only Rocks San Antonio's Face Off, Also Rates Game
Nathan C. writes in:
Game? What the heck...?
I don't even think I had any game at all while at TU. This is going to sound really nerdy, but while I was in school, I had little to no interest in a relationship. Therefore, I went on few dates. Make that almost NO dates. I had a girlfriend for a few months during my sophomore year, and decided I'd rather be playing music with the Stray Toasters and inventing new cocktails with Frank in my spare time than dating. It was only after I graduated that I took any interest in such things.
So, Game during college? I'd rate it a 2.3. I am pretty clueless, and so I didn't really know if someone was interested in me or not unless they hit me over the head. And then there was the time a good lady friend flat out told me, "Look, we can't take it any farther than friends," and that was that.
