Obama collects comic books? This just keeps getting better and better. That kind of unapologetic geekiness is sure to attract many of my fellow travelers into administration posts. I predict that the halls of the executive branch will soon be buzzing with speculation regarding the forthcoming Star Trek film, water-cooler critiques of the latest episode of Battlestar Galactica, and the incessant ringing of iPhones.
The geeks are taking the car keys away from the frat boys. It’s a beautiful thing. Look at me, I’m getting all misty-eyed just thinking about it.
I understand the appeal of your comic book affinity, but the item that really struck me as new was #30 on the list: “He would have liked to have been an architect if he were not a politician.” Yikes! (I think he made a very good choice.)
