Here in America, we like to imagine that the founders of our nation were heroic idealists unaffected by greed or self-interest. We praise their revolutionary idea that all men are created equal while ignoring the fact that they bought and sold other humans; we conveniently ignore the fact that they made themselves richer through war bond scams; and we boil the Boston Tea Party down to a simple protest against taxation without representation.

Meanwhile, I headed to scenic Carbondale, Illinois for Egypt Wars. I arrived around noon Saturday, just in time to register and catch the end of the pony-themed Pathfinder game that one of the Quilt City Ogres was running.

Since 4 out of every 5 movies these days is a remake or adaptation, I've got this fantasy that one day somebody in Hollywood will give Diablo Cody a bunch of money to make a new Tank Girl movie. Below are my picks for Team Tank.
