From the Secret Identities site:
Although top talents from the comics industry will be contributing to Secret Identities, we continue to actively seek Asian American creators both in and outside the comics industry interested in contributing one to six page stories to the book, either within the superhero genre or commenting on it in a satirical or insightful fashion. This may include artist/writer teams or artist-writer sole creators as well as artists seeking to be paired with a writer, or writers with an idea seeking to be paired with an artist.
Interested artists must submit art samples, and writers must submit story ideas, by no later than October 15th, 2007 to be considered for the anthology. All characters and stories included in the collection must be original to their creators and previously unpublished in any venue. The collection is intended to be creator-owned: Contributors will retain all rights to characters, depictions, backgrounds, marks, and storylines associated with their submissions.
For submission guidelines and agreement, visit Secret Identities.

I just watched the testimonies of military and civilian participants and veterans of the IraQuagmire in “Iraq For Sale;” and, as an American who lost a good friend in 9/11 and has old family friends fighting/working in Iraq now, I’m extremely upset with how the Bush administration allowed Halliburton/KBR, and their various spinoffs and cronies, to take such egregious advantage of our country and its citizens. They have all robbed us through fraudulent billings and exponential overcharging for often extraneous and /or redundant jobs. That money should have gone to help our troops and our children instead.
* In February 2007, Congressman Henry Waxman, a California Democrat, released
a report saying that out of the 20 billion dollars charged to the U.S.
government by Halliburton, 2.4 billion dollars were “unsupported” and
“questioned” costs. *

“You know, one of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the
war on terror.”
—Interview with CBS News, Washington D.C., Sept. 6, 2006
No kidding, W. That’s probably because there never was a connection between Saddam/Iraq and Osama/Al-Qaida. Thanks for making your lies even more obvious.

It’s been 25 years since Vincent Chin’s brutal murder by Detroit autoworkers who blamed their woes on Asian imports, and subsequently on Asian Americans … instead of on the Chrysler honchos who thought “capitalism” and “competition” meant “protectionism” and “higher import tariffs” rather than “innovation” and “efficiency.” Detroit couldn’t build a better mousetrap, so it collapsed.
We’re not losing our jobs to minority Americans, much less to immigrants: American corporations are selling our jobs to the lowest bidders overseas. It’s global capitalism at its finest … isn’t that what this war in Iraq is about? Exporting good old American democratic, capitalistic, uber-consumer values, so we can grow more markets to build McDonald’s and Wal-Mart’s in?
