I look more rad than Lutheranism

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.

And it's easier to say "Not a super hero" rather than "hypocritical bastard."

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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.

Well, metaphorical bastard. Not actual bastard. That would be Alexander Hamilton. Who was less of a hypocrite.

With a mask! And spandex!
