mainly because I'm really surprised to see how seriously this topic is being treated, when I think of it as just a moronic toss-off in between more substantive posts about the topics which really interest me.  Like, whateverever happened to Rin-Tin-Fuckin-Tin?

There has been a flick in theatrical release for several weeks, not doing well at the box-office, about an inept superhero who is publicly reveiled and resorts to hiring a PR consultant to revamp his image.  Interesting idea, methinks.  The flick is "Hancock" with Will Smith.  


I ignored this upon it's release, but today I skimmed a review in The New Yorker, and I thought, this is the POTUS Bush superhero avatar.  Seems that Hancock is a down-on-his-luck wino who has superpowers, but is incredibly inept and ham-handed in their use, and causes as much damage and suffering as he prevents.  Well, that sounds like our Presidential boy alright.
