And ya see, this, THIS RIGHT HERE, is the problem with low info voters and 'independents' and shit like that.    One side wants to hurt people they don't like, the other side wants to help everyone, and those type of people just can't 'tell the difference'? 

Both parties are NOT the same, and if you can't see that, then you're a blindingly stupid idiot!

My birthday song, my happy world (Part 342).....

 Badass Birthday

On this date, in 1899 in Australia, P.L.Travers was born.



She was published as a teenager, and then had a short career as a professional Shakespeare actress.  She emigrated to England and resumed her writing career.  She wrote over 20 books.  During World War II she was stationed in New York City working for the British Ministry of Information.

None of these things makes her a badass.  What DOES make her a badass though, is the fact that she is the author who created Mary Poppins.  She wrote 8 books about the character.  And she was courted intensebly by Walt Disney to allow him to obtain the rights to do a movie.  She refused over and over and over, but she did eventaully relent.

P.L.Travers, creator of Mary Poppins, surely that warrants being a badass!

 Badass Birthday

On this date in 1926 in New Jersey, Richard Anderson was born. 


His acting career began in 1947 and lasted until his final perfomance in 2015, a length of 68 years!

But really, only one role is what makes him a badass.   From 1974 to 1978 he portrayed Oscar Goldman in The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman!  He played the same character on two networks: ABC and NBC.   

Director of the OSI Badass!

Sadly, he passed away in 2017, at the age of 91.

Night arrives with her purple legion (Part 20).....

 Legion Lore

Light Lass/Lightning Lass


 Twins are the norm on the planet Winath.  Single births are considered weird.  Garth and Ayla Ranzz were twins.  They both ended up getting hit with the lightning bolts from the Lightning Beasts of Korbal, and they both gained the power of shooting lighting bolts themselves.  Garth was a Legion founder under the name Lightning Lad.  

At one point, Lightning Lad was killed.  After a while, his sister made an authentic disguise and impersonated him in the Legion, until she was discovered.  Then she just became Lightning Lass. 

Eventually, Lightning Lad was returned to life (it IS comic books after all).  But the Legion had a rule that each member must have a unique power, not copied by any other.  And so, Lightning Lass was preparing to leave the team.  

But about that time Dream Girl, who had a surprisingly extensive knowledge of metegenic physiology, modified Ayla's powers, giving her instead of Lighting powers, the power to make things un-heavy and light and floating, and she stayed on the team by the name Light Lass. 

After many years, she was attacked repeatedly by her single birth supervillain brother Lighting Lord and through this constant bombardment of his lightning bolts, she regained her orginial lightning powers. 

The Legion had become a bit lax in some criteria and so they probably wouldn't have had an issue with her and her brother on the team, but Garth at that time decided to retire and become a full time father to his sons.  So Ayla remained with the Legion as Lightning Lass until the team disbanded following the Magic Wars.
