Bill Cosby adores his chili, especially when it derives from Ben’s Chili Bowl on the U Street in Washington D. C.The comedian has been visiting the restaurant for many years and he was in attendance this week when the Ben’s Chili Bowl celebrated its 55th anniversary.Cosby moderated the event, which was attended by Mayor Vincent Gray, former Mayor Marion Barry, Rev. Jesse Jackson and D. C. United player Chris Pontius also spoke at the event.Bill Cosby said of owner Virginia Ali, 'Ben’s Chili Bowl -not merely a place to come and visit, meet your friends, but a spot of humanity. That’s what that philosophy has long been about'.Politico notes that Ben’s Chili Bowl was a serious landmark during the civil rights movement. The March On Washington was planned more than a bowl of chili and the restaurant was on the list of only places to remain open through the riots that followed Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination in_ 1968.Virginia Ali said, 'I remember people getting into the Chili Bowl, having something to eat before going to the march_ I recall the enthusiasm of many people about continuing to fall there to march for identical rights and jobs'.Source::The above story is based on materials provided by the www.inquisitr.com and image credit_ guestofaguest.com.

The first production Airbus Military A400M new generation airlifter for the Turkish Air Force (TAF) has made its maiden flight, marking a key milestone towards its delivery on Monday. The aircraft, known as MSN9, took off from Seville, Spain, at 13:56 local time (GMT+2) on 9 August and landed back in Seville 5 hours and 30 minutes later. The A400M programme for the TAF is also making good progress at the Airbus Military International Training Centre at Seville, where TAF pilots, loadmasters, and maintenance technicians have already begun their training. Turkey has ordered 10 A400Ms.
Wicked Wanda was a strip that appeared in Penthouse throughout the seventies; popularized enough to appear on the nose of a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress and enshrined in an Air Force museum (Egland AFB) in 1975. Naturally, the nose was repainted to mark the beginning of a more conservative time during the Reagan years.Basically, it was Penthouse's answer to Playboy's Little Annie Fanny. It was written by a respected British journalist and novelist, Frederic Mullaly and illustrated by Ron Embleton, who had done the artwork for the popular UK comic TV Century 21 (which primarily featured comic adaptations of Gerry Anderson TV series).Wicked Wanda was a humor strip which poked fun at the establishment. It was pretty R rated stuff ; so, there's not much fit to print in Retrospace. However, I can't help but admire the thrilling art of Embleton and the surprisingly erudite text of Mullaly. A comic strip team to be reckoned with. 
The Cast of Characters: J. Hoover Grud, German Grrr, Walter von Kreesus, Wanda, Candyfloss, and Homer Sapiens.
Hundreds of famous faces pop up in the Wicked Wanda strips. Indeed, one of the best things about the strip is simply trying to identify every caricature.
Lee Majors, Columbo, Burt Reynolds, Lorne Green, Kojak, Babs,.... it's a regular Sgt. Pepper's in every panel!
I'm a sucker for the comedic details. Little tidbits sprinkled throughout that you could easily pass over. Some rather obscure and scholarly. This from Wikipedia:The strip was replete with inside jokes and references to popular and classical culture. For example, a member of Wanda’s entourage lay naked reading William S. Burroughs’ novel Naked Lunch while a second fornicated with a swan, recalling William Butler Yeats' poem, "Leda and the Swan", based on the myth about Zeus’s fornication, in the guise of a swan, with Leda.
Mullaly's stance, whether politically or culturally, was plainly evident in the comics, and it was often rather severe. Mullaly was definitely guilty of having his opinions expressed at the expense of the humor, and this could become tiresome. And evidently, Bob Guccione, Penthouse's Hefner, felt similarly and let Mullaly go in 1980, after an unabated 11 year run.
Guccione replaced the strip with Sweet Chastity, which he wrote himself, and kept Embleton on as illustrator.Mullaly had a successful career as a novelist, so it's not as if his feelings were hurt. Mullaly had an exceptional record as a journalist as well (he was the first to be granted a rare interview with the Prince of Monaco and his new wife, Grace Kelly). Wicked Wanda was hardly the tent pole of his career.
Wanda dedicates herself to destroying normal society and replacing it with a bizarre sex-oriented permissive anarchy. You can't help but wonder if this was Mullaly's dark side coming out in the comics. 
The title or "splash" pages were always very captivating with a lot going on. If there was ever anything that could lure your attention away from Penthouse's primary attractions, it was Wicked Wanda.
Bob Guccione was the ultimate 70's douche bag: full of himself, shirt unbuttoned, lecherous, slimeball.... or was he? His record on supporting science and publishing Omni magazine perhaps testifies to another side of Bob. Apparently, Guccione had plans to translate Wanda to film; perhaps, after the spectacle that was Caligula, he'd had enough of film. No idea. 
And whether you love it or hate it, you have to admit Wanda was a stronger female character than the Playboy counterpart (Annie Fanny) and didn't have that creepy misogynistic edge as in Hustler's comic (Chester the Molester). That's not to say this was a paragon of feminism... just that it may have been a tad better.
THE END
