Iron Man and Sarah Palin

Thank you Robert Downey, Jr., Jon Favreau, and Marvel Studios. Thank you for giving cause to bring about two new comic books, "The Invincible Iron Man" and "Viva Las Vegas," the second being a four part mini-series written by Jon Favreau. Near the beginning of Invincible #4, Tony Stark and Reed Richards are playing chess on multiple boards simultaneously and chit-chatting; Tony Stark departs after putting Reed in check on each board. During this time, he finally came up with an idea as to how to track down Stane and puts this into play as only Mr. Stark could. In "Viva Las Vegas," we're witness to some sentimental junk with Pepper (which is OK because Pepper is a ginger and I'm all about the red-heads!) clogging the middle of this book as the plot develops, but the story ends with Tony Stark taking a nice leggy blonde to a casino opening, and oh shnap! [Mecha]FIN FANG FOOM is back! Fight!
This is all pretty sweet because the "Director of S.H.I.E.L.D." book, which is thankfully turning itself over to War Machine for a stint soon, doesn't show off this Tony Stark. A Tony much like Robert Downey, Jr. portrayed in the movie. The Tony that's brilliant but also chiengs out with all the fly ladies! Marvel can let the Sentry fight everybody, he's a shitty OP character akin to Superman (I'm not a fan of DC books for the most part). Iron Man books should be different because Tony Stark is WAY more interesting than Iron Man. That's the big difference between him and Batman (aside from their universe differentials and the lack of clear and interesting stories). Eff Bruce Wayne. Batman is kinda cool. Tony Stark could drop the gauntlet and still carry a title. Tony Stark, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. would be interesting. Anyhow, it's nice to have a couple good Iron Man books to read every month... I don't have to feel as bad about the twenty or so issues of DoS that I own.

So, McCain has chosen Alaska's Governor, Sarah Palin as his running mate... Did all of his buddies turn him down in hopes that they'll have a chance to run in four years? I know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about Sarah Palin except that she photographs pretty well. Seriously... kind of a babe. I haven't seen any video of her yet, though. I need to see how she moves before I endorse her for Vice-Bonerdent.
The vibe I'm picking up is that McCain wants to create dissention in the Democratic ranks, swaying some of Hillary Clinton's base to his side in November. Is that really even feasible? I don't think people are going to get confused and vote for him just because there's some estrogen on his ticket now. Any Hillary Cunton supporters that are going to vote McCain, were going to do so when Hillary finally conceeded the nomination. You can't purchase their bitterness now with a nicely packaged Alaskan MILF. Perhaps, this is a beaurocratic way of riding out the next two months and regrouping for 2012?
