- Well it's about time, and I hope it's a good choice. ICv2 reported today that Gegory Noveck, a TV producer, was named DC's new Senior VP of Creative Affairs. The title sounds a little like an honorary doctorate, but hopefully the man will wield some real power out on the left coast. Also, hopefully he's a real fan like Avi Arad and not "the guy who said yes". In my opinion, this may be a needless expense, as DC can't really shop its properties around like Marvel can. |

- Pat Buchanan:Of Al Gore's stunning endorsement of Howard Dean, even before the Iowa Caucus, it may be said, Richard Nixon would have been impressed. For Gore is executing with boldness and coldness a comeback strategy identical to the one Nixon engineered 40 years ago. Seeing Howard Dean as the party nominee, he has bet his future in national politics on making himself a hero to the Dean Machine. Look for Gore to have a major role at the Boston Convention, keynoting or nominating Dean, and to campaign for the ticket across the country, piling up IOUs. |
