Thought for the Day

Groupie: ...but why have you stopped mentioning the President by name, Thor? Why don't you personalize it more?

Thor: Because blaming him for what they're doing is like blaming Ronald McDonald for the hamburgers. He's just their frontman. I doubt they even let him into the meetings.

We were talking, last night, about whether or not the next US presidential elections will really effect change, or if it's more like changing the corporate shill. Sadly, I expect that it's the latter.

I think it'd be a shame if all the people who are currently angry and politicized start thinking that everything's okay after the next election.

But Thor got taken down by the Ultimates, didn't he? The official govt authorised superhero group couldn't stand to see an independent out there, much like governments can't stand to see successful independent states in real life.
