One nine year old has been asking the Republican candidates for president what super-hero they would be. In other news, Republican candidates for president give boring answers to kids asking super-hero questions. Well, sure, who wouldn’t want to be Superman? At very least, it seems like Captain America should be the default dull answer for the modern patriot.

How about Iceman? We could probably use ice, plus I think he took some accounting classes, which would probably help out in the White House.

  2. If I could be any superhero, I would choose Mohandas Gandhi, alias “Mahatma.” He used the power of “satyagraha” — or “truth force” — to fight for justice and affect nonviolent social change. I was born on the 20th anniversary of his death.

  3. According to a well-placed source within DC Comics who spoke on condition of anonymity, my esteemed colleague Richard Grayson is, indeed, the masked vigilante who goes by the name Nightwing. This source also revealed that Grayson was the first person to serve in the role of superhero Batman’s sidekick Robin, prior to their falling out.

    Oh, and Lex — Sources at DC Comics allege that your father Lionel forged a fake birth certificate for Clark Kent.

  4. Forty-five years ago I wore Hickey Freeman suits. Today I live on $643 a month and I’m running for president. My constituents number 50 million people in the same poverty boat, but they don’t vote.

    Shazam!

    We need a $3 check off on our income tax for a First Amendment speech fund. You declare your candidacy for congress, or president, and starting out you have a couple hundred million in the bank to cover the cost of a healthy speech – minimum 30 minutes why we should vote for you – who you are – what you are going to do.

    You book your slot on the station time of your choice and then, after a public oath the words about to be spoke are your own, state your case. Wanna be idiots can be screened with a half hour appearance on C-SPAN. Fakes are free to run, but they have to pay. There won’t be any fakes.

    Let me reveal how I plan on winning the election: These debates have been a mixture of American Idol and Jeopardy (ask Perry) for politicians.

    They each get a certain amount of two minute time slots to audition for next world leader.The shows are not on-the-spot new events in the public interest, but because our country is so messed up the public is interested. Like any program the broadcasters are selling ads.

    It’s a use, subject to e quill opportunity. I have initiated two court cases in federal courts challenging an unconstitutional Act of congress, also the unconstitutional FCC jurisdiction over First Amendment access.

    I have make up time coming.
