    Comment by N/A Wednesday, Aug 16, 06 @ 9:23 am

  7. The story of Superman’s origin parallels those of other cultural heroes and religious figures such as Jesus, Moses, Gilgamesh, Samson, and Obama (pictured with Superman, above), who were spirited away as infants from places where they were in danger.

  16. Democrats hire security to keep Green Party candidate Rich Whitney out of the gubernatioral debates.

    Comment by Squideshi Wednesday, Aug 16, 06 @ 10:28 am

  17. Obama is doing that in spite of Gibbs. Remember, Gibbs is the guy that was in charge of Kerry’s campaign when Dean emerged and forced Kerry to move irrevocably to the left. He was gone from the Kerry campaign not long after. Plus, wasn’t he responsible for the anti-dean commercial that incorporated Bin Laden? I cannot believe Barack would hire someone who would make such an offensive commercial. Gibbs is a loose cannon.

  56. Other similarities. Superman’s romantic interest was star reporter Lois Lane. Obama is loved by, well, every reporter in the world. You get the feeling Ann Coulter would throw her panties on stage if he accepted the nomination for president.
