Me too.  Oh wait, I'm a comic fan!  :)  I didn't know that about Moore, though.

I'm sorry, I should have mentioned that these people aren't a
representative sample... I hang out with them, so you'll have to

secretly hate my politics!  :)  If you do it's okay, I don't mind.

Also, one of the students is a comic fan, probably a bigger one than me.
