PCIntern's JournalFunny to watch Tweety try to find a Rethug in his coffee shop...
Most were voting for Obama when asked...one lady, missing most of her front teeth, was voting for Romney as was one reasonable-looking young lady, both liking Mittster b/c he was a 'moderate'. Tweety was frustrated...
So I woke up this morning (which is a good thing in itself), and this memory came FLOODING back...
When I was a kid I was an avid reader of the DC comics series and all of a sudden, I remembered this one Supergirl story when she, as Linda Lee, her alter ego (most DC women in the Superman series had the initials LL) was on this planet, of course, almost EXACTLY like Earth, and she was on the streets and some kid did something he shouldn't have and she really told him off in a great way, and wonder of wonders, there was a TeeVee camera on her and her dressing down/diatribe was broadcast all over the planet and she became the leading candidate for Supreme Ruler or whatever they called it there...those familiar with th DC Universe, as it were, get this immediately.
How ridiculous that seemed back in 1964 or whenever, but you know, hardly far-fetched now...you can watch your next ruler be chosen by a few comments he or she might make at a county fair or in a coffee shop.
Sometimes I wish I were Jay Garrick (the Original Flash - not the New Flash of the 1960's) and I could wear that neat metal hat and RUN THE HELL AWAY from all this...
Happy New Year to All!
