Longtime VM pal Mark Feltskog has a neat post on the failures of public education (and Mikhail Bakhtin). (Mark doesn’t post too frequently, but he’s a good writer, a passionate teacher, and is capable of Lewis Black-level rage, which is right up my alley. Check his blog out sometime.)

Longtime VM pal Tom Spurgeon has a great post on why the X-Men became popular. Just like that Thomas Dolby post I linked to a few weeks ago, I imagine that this isn’t a topic of importance to a great many of you, but a topic of great importance to a few of you. (But that was issue #132 where Wolverine had the great “I’m gonna kill everybody” monologue, not #133, you fool!)
