decisions, decisions.

After much deliberation, I have decided that Batman is indeed my favorite superhero.

Spiderman is whiny and was simply unlucky in how he became a superhero. Superman is an alien and The Hulk could stand to attend an anger management class or two.
Batman, however, has no actual superpowers. He's just badass and rich enough to impose that badassery on the criminal race. The same with Iron Man. No actual superpowers, just money, balls and a conscience.

I like Batman and Iron Man because they're human. They weren't blessed enough to be from another planet or dumb enough to get bitten by a spider. They have engineering talent and a wish to see the bad guys put away.
Human and relate-able.

I'm Batman

strange times, my friend.

I feel like we're in some weird time-warp.
Gas is where it was 2 years ago, we have a non-white president and Chinese Democracy is finally coming out.

Question: Do you think we are entering onto an era of post-race America?
White groups like Italians, Jews and the Irish have moved from the margins into the mainstream and now African-Americans are starting to-with the arrival of one in the highest position an American can achieve. Do you think we'll have to have an Hispanic in a high office before we can move into a post-race society?
