Huh. They made a hallmark movie of Pictures of Hollis Woods which I just read on the plane trip out.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
me: Thomas Jefferson is not a super hero.
You know why msbelle is a Good Mom(TM)? She's committed to making sure that mac KNOWS his US history.
Batman? Super hero.
Superman? But of course.
Captain Caveman? Iffy.
Black Canary? Super-duper hero.
Benjamin Franklin? You betcha he's a super hero.
Thomas Jefferson? Not so much.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
in mac's current world this is how things are - SUPER HEROES: top tier of the world, deserve most of his attention; TRANSFORMERS: almost equal with superheroes, but not yet as he does not have any of their toys; OTHER CARTOON FOLK: move up and down in importance depending what is on; CHARACTERS IN BOOKS OR ANYTHING FROM SCHOOL not covered in the previous categories: fleeting interest
then he gets a Thomas Jefferson trivia thing in a cracker jacks bag
he is interested and yet needs to fit this new person into the framework of his world.

How do you know that TJ wasn't a superhero? Superheroes wear disguises.

You should have said he was a transformer.

Tom, and his disguise was as a power-grubbing, executive-privilege expanding hypocrite? Good lord! That means Bush could also be a super hero in disguise!

Hypocritical, yes. The bastard is a harder call.
