There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

Sen. Mark Kelly: "If you say something that the president or this administration does not like, they're going to come after you. The president is trying to silence us, and I can't think of anything that's more un-American."

What is especially galling is that this saved zero dollars, since the cruise ships pay for the inspections. And now their industry is less trusted because of perceived health risks. Amazing lose-lose policymaking.

Panel 1: Shen and the Dark Wizard are standing near the gym's big wall mirror. There is a dumbbell laying on the ground between them, closer to the mirror. Shen is leaning forward, one hand on his hips and the other pointing at the wizard, and saying "Y'know, I'm not convinced you're even strong enough to BE a fitness coach."

Panel 2: Shen's hand points at the dumbbell on the ground near the mirror. He says "Lift that dumbbell."

Panel 3: The Dark Wizard saying "I already AM lifting it." Shen raises his arms in exasperated confusion, saying "What??"

Panel 4: Outside view of the gym. It, along with the chunk of earth it was standing on, is hovering in the air slightly, having dislodged itself from the ground below.

Panel 1: Shen is sitting on a bench in a gym locker room, wearing a sweaty yellow tank-top (and sweating, himself), holding a water bottle, and talking to a guy with a towel slung over his shoulder. He has a disgruntled expression. He says "Bro I never should've hired the dark wizard as my fitness coach."

Panel 2: A dark wizard is spotting Shen on the bench press. Shen is huffing lifting the weight. The dark wizard, who wears a red hood with grey horns and a purple cloak, and has a long pointy nose and fingers, small severe eyes, and a big dark brown beard and eyebrows, is saying "The path to TRUE power is not these plebeian exercises, but to know the 7 ARCANE UTTERANCES."

Panel 3: Top-down view of Shen, sweating, frustrated, on the bench. "THEN JUST TELL ME THE UTTERANCES!!" he says.

Panel 4: View from Shen's perspective of the wizard's long nose and face looking down at him sternly. "EARN THEM!!!!" he yells.

The backstory here is that the Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of this land a century ago. They sued, got their land back, and are using their sovereignty to ignore local zoning rules and build 6,000 new homes over the objections of nearby wealthy NIMBYs.
