I could be wrong – and this being the Internet, if I am, someone’s sure to tell me – but I think it was simply a case of Keith Giffen wanting to use her. Wasn’t this around the same time as her appearance in Captain Atom? Maybe it was just that she was popular and DC thought it had a new personification of the concept it could play with.
What is your favorite thing to put on toast?
How do you feel about public speaking?
I hate it. I think I’ve said this before, maybe on the podcast, but I am very, very bad at public speaking – it makes me anxious and uncomfortable for days ahead of time, and I am one of those nervous speakers who gulps in the wrong places and perspires a lot. Performance is very much not for me, at least not in a live setting, which I wish was not the case; being a good public speaker, like being able to play a musical instrument, is one of those skills that I desperately wish I possessed, yet not enough to actively do something about.
Iran’s foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, also poured derision on the Republican letter in a statement expressing astonishment that members of Congress would seek to undermine a US administration by writing directly to a foreign power, and suggesting that the letter’s authors had much to learn about international and even US law… Zarif, like President Hassan Rouhani and several other senior members of the Iranian government, holds an advanced degree from a western university, and appears to have taken umbrage at the condescending tone of the senators’ letter. He delivered his own lecture in response.
‘I wish to enlighten the authors that if the next administration revokes any agreement with the stroke of a pen, as they boast, it will have simply committed a blatant violation of international law,’ he wrote.
From here.Everything about this Republican letter to Iran is astounding, and not in a good way.
