You might have thought the president’s speech last night was an incoherent tsunami of familiar lies. And would be right. But it concealed a scary truth the White House would prefer you didn’t see. My latest. www.thedailybeast.com/this-is-the-...

All voters - especially Democratic voters - should memorize this before November.

Hill I will die on today, Artemis II day, but on all days too: The Moon is a place, a world, a sacred relative in some cosmogonies, and a fundamental part of Earth. So it’s a PROPER NOUN and you should give it a capital M! I will make this case in as many words as somebody wants me to write!

More April 1st Comic History: OTD in 1975 GIANT-SIZE X-MEN introduced a new, international generation of mutants, and it didn't take long before readers (and, decades later, popular culture) were utterly captivated by the characters.

"Don't step on it, it might be Lon Chaney!" The Man of a Thousand Faces was born OTD in 1883, pioneering cinema makeup until his death in 1930 from a throat hemorrhage, exacerbated by pneumonia and lung cancer.

Remembering the wonderful Grace Lee Whitney - Yeoman Rand - born OTD in 1930. She left us in 2015.

It was OTD in 1984 that soul legend Marvin Gaye was shot to death by his father during an argument and physical altercation. The singer would have turned 45 the very next day.

It's been one year without Val Kilmer.

Think HOLLYWOOD SQUARES but contestants bet on whether stars know the right answers & you have CELEBRITY SWEEPSTAKES, debuting on NBC OTD in 1974. Audience members set the odds; "Dumb Blonde" Carol Wayne was actually scary smart. Host was Jim McKrell (still with us at 88), and it ran three seasons.

NOW YOU SEE IT debuted on CBS OTD in 1974, with Jack Narz hosting this Goodson/Todman wordsearch game. The timed bonus round was very nerve-wracking. Only lasted about a year, but was revived in 1989. Quincy Jones' "Chump Change" was the funky theme.

Comic history: OTD in 1971 Swamp Thing made his debut in a Gothic tale within HOUSE OF SECRETS #92. It sold like hotcakes and immediately launched calls for a continuing series.

He was probably getting sleepy.

A moment from the trailer that all but shouted at me, as this was one of my first Spidey issues.

Trump was the first sitting president ever to attend oral arguments at the Supreme Court. He did it for one reason: To remind the justices he appointed that they "owe" him and better rule as he wishes. It's something a mob boss or abusive husband would do.

I didn't sleep well that night.

It was 50 years ago today CBS aired the first half of HELTER SKELTER, the network adaptation of Vincent Bugliosi's account of the Tate/LaBianca Murders committed by Charles Manson's followers. Scary as hell, with a volcanic performance by Steve Railsback as the infamous cult leader.

And the model for the woman on the cover to House of Secrets #92 introducing Swamp Thing was the great comic book writer/editor Louise Simonson!
