There is a new record in the comic book realm. There is a 1939 comic book featuring a new character named Batman that sold at auction for more than $1 million dollars. The book is called Detective Comics and is No. 27 published in May, 1939. The deal beats a record set just the other day for the highest amount paid for a comic book.

Both parties in the deal wish to remain anonymous and there is some speculation as to who was involved. The sale beat a one million dollar price for a 1938 Superman Action Comics No. 1 which was sold earlier this week.

With the recent snowstorms that have hit the east coast, I have been right in the middle of ground zero. It seems that after each storm is done, another is on its way. There is snow everywhere and it doesn’t want to go away. My car is a mess and I need to get it washed soon, but I guess it will just get dirty again!

I’ll be glad when we have a nice day with sunshine and a little warmth. As much as I like snow, too much of anything can be a pain in the butt! Spring is almost here and so I’ll just have to look forward to that!

President Barack Obama has announced his plans for a new budget for 2010. The budget includes money for the unemployed, tax breaks for businesses, and energy and infrastructure projects. The president said it was important to try to get the nations economy going again and that’s why the deficit will rise once again.

People who oppose the plan point to the fact that the deficit will rise to a new record level. The deficit will be around $1.56 trillion dollars for the fiscal year. The administration has announced plans to institute a three year freeze for government spending on non-military items. I hope the president will be able to get things under control soon!
