And it's easier to say "Not a super hero" rather than "hypocritical bastard."
Hypocritical, yes. The bastard is a harder call.
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

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

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
his disguise was as a power-grubbing, executive-privilege expanding hypocrite?
With a mask! And spandex!

Can I just say that I love my mother? She knew of my vacumn cleaner issues when she came out this summer, so when she went home, she set aside her extra vacumn to give to me instead of putting it in the neighborhood garage sale. I brought it back this past weekend and finally plugged it in an hour ago. OMG, I finally have a vacumn that actually works!! I don't need to follow up a vacuming with a damp towel to rub off all the cat hair that didn't get picked up! My beige carpet looks beige, not dingy light grey! I called Mom to thank her profusely.

I really wish I could get Mac and D together. There is nearly a 2 year difference, but oh, D would LOVE talking transformers with Mac!

So years ago, I read this bio about an african american kid who had been raised in the Soviet Union. His parents had immigrated there because they thought that life would be better, less racist etc. Can any of you help me find the book again?
