So I'm here in Boston at the New England Comic Con with justintime2k at the Hynes Convention Center, and this morning, the place was a zoo. The first thing I noticed was the lines of Tea Party protestors on the opposite side of the street, which I thought was a little unusual for a comic book convention. The second thing I noticed were the phalanxes of police ( Read more... )

I'd be more inclined to vote for Joe Biden if he WAS the Vulture!

Particularly some of his colleagues. Patrick Leahy in particular has been a comic book fan for something like 50 years. He even appeared in two Batman movies and the animated series, and he wrote the introduction to the Green Arrow: Archer's Quest TPB.

Then again, he voted against the defense of marriage act. So I suppose the moral of the story is that when it comes to one's personal choices in lifestyle or entertainment, politicians are the last people we should be listening to anyway.

Oh crap. I mean Patrick Leahy voted FOR the Defense of Marriage Act. o_o; I guess in political circles that's what's called a 'gaffe'.

he's an idiot who he blew a billion dollars of his wifes money and STILL failed to beat George W Bush for president. He's weak and worthless.

Believe it or not sir, that was the general consensus among the comic book creators I was in the vicinity of as well. A politician so abysmally awful that not only did he have to buy his way into Congress, but even with his billion dollar allowance still couldn't beat GEORGE BUSH for the presidency. And this guy is taking shots at US.

Oh well, at least he married rich! If I had billions of dollars from a ketchup fortune I could go around pretending to be a politician too. Though I'd probably just spend it on something more edifying. Like comic books.
