"Alison Bechdel hoped that Fun Home, her very personal graphic memoir, would heal her family's wounds. Instead it led to terrible upset, she tells Emma Brockes". I adore her, and this was great to read, but I think that hope may have been a little naive. (From redbird)

"[Roger Ebert has] been accused of refusing to review Ben Stein's documentary "Expelled," a defense of Creationism, because of my belief in the theory of evolution." Even if a bit rambly, his response is made of sense, science, and win. I wish I could send it back in time to the me who shook with anger upon hearing about Expelled, or to those I've recently seen promulgate Creationism, but the one is impossible and the other inadvisable, so.

I *love* Fun Home! I can see how her family, however, might not.

I had a great idea for a dramatic retort to Stein's 'Darwinism == Nazism' argument: interview Danish scientists. With luck, they could find Danish scientists who helped or knew people who helped the Jewish population of Denmark escape to Sweden.

Unfortunately, I know no Danes or film makers.
