Hail to the Geeks

On January 14th I undertook what would be my geek challange of the month. Now since I live in a semi-rural area of florida there are  no comic book stores within close range. After a mad 30 mile dash I found what I was after the highly coveted Spiderman Issue 583. Said issue has a small piece about our 44th President Barack H. Obama portraying himself and not since George W’s portrayal of Dr Doom has a President been so geeky!!

The Amazing Web Slinger is assigned to take pictures at the Inauguration when Low and Behold .. chaos ensues. Needless to say Spidey saves the day with the help of President Obama. It’s not Shakespeare but I did find it enjoyable!

In my mind Dick Cheney would play the ego-maniacal, power hungry Megatron

 

W. would play Grimlock, a robot created by his group, a dim-witted dinosaur described as “cold, merciless and contemptuous of those he considers beneath him, such as human beings” (per Wikipedia). Grimlock was easily controlled by his contemporaries.

and finally (as my fears indicate) John McCain would play Galvatron, the re-incarnated version of Megatron (ref: Cheney-Megatron)

a thought on Nader

Ralph Nader is running as an independent. When even the Green Party doesn’t take you seriously, it’s time to reconsider your candidacy.

 I thought this was rather funny….
