Pattern Ghost

I'm well aware of him. The name remains lame, hence the joke.

Plus someone has to be Doctor Alchemy.

Or in this case, you can't wait for them to grow up and get out of the house.

Queue zombie apocalypse .

They were banished to the Phantom Zone, so definitely hard cases.

Clinton joins the Grammaton Clerics:
 

Is this a trick question?

I wish Marvel would learn to make fun movies like DC makes.

Hasn't been that bad so far. Hasn't bounced broken branches off my skywall, at least to this point.
 
EDIT (8:05AM PDT): Yeah, now that I can peruse data sources, the peak gust here over the last 24 hours is just under 30 knots. Not that big a deal. Now, there's flooding in some low-lying places, but that's almost in "the usual suspects" bin.

Kt's going to be windy in Portland, but not quite as bad as in Seattle. Be safe, OK?

Agreed. Supergirl is fun for us 40-somethings too.

Knife fights often result in the deaths of both combatants.
 
Just sayin'.

Everybody must have been stoned....

I find a few things about Hillary give me pause. Not the conspiracy stuff, either. However, as I look at the field, she's probably the only candidate running who's remotely qualified for the job.I think she's the candidate likely to do the least long term harm.
 
One other thing to consider is that people who are really good at this level of politics are not necessarily nice people, regardless of their public persona or personal charisma. Politics are simply cut throat and always have been, especially the last decade or so. So, likeability alone wouldn't necessarily disqualify someone IMO.

The Green Book

I hear many political analysts predicting an implosion of Republican candidates in the next round of congressional elections, as fallout from this disastrous campaign, which could result in big gains for the Democrats in the Senate and House. If it occurs that might give Clinton a window of support to push through her agenda.

I have to say that, after his last two big-screen outings, I find the interpretation of Superman in this series refreshing. Confident. Respected. Warm and outgoing. Happy. Not to mention colorful.

What is so obvious? That she is smarter than Trump? Sure. That alone should make her a better politician. Maybe that between two horrible choices, she is (maybe) slightly less horrible? She manages spin better so public appearance is certainly better. I've never questioned her intelligence or political acumen. I've only ever questioned her moral compass. I still do.
 
This whole exercise is flawed. There is not a binary choice here (that she is completely innocent or completely guilty). I also want to point out that, for the majority of her alleged criminal behavior she was married to the Arkansas State Attorney General, the Governor of Arkansas, and ultimately, the President of the United States. She has been a stalwart member of the Democratic Party since before I was born. To assume that she is not politically connected and protected is naive at best. I will also admit that there is likely a lot of noise drowning out the legitimate signal. The problem is sifting through the noise, which nobody really seems inclined to do without an agenda of some sort. When looking for any sort of facts, agendas are bad. At this point it is kind of moot anyway. Whether I like it or not, Hillary Clinton is going to be our next President. I knew that when Trump was given the Republican nomination. 
 
I don't understand why it is important that we don't like, trust or support HRC. My negative mind conjures all sorts of bad things, but really why does it matter? If this is some sort of public shaming exercise, it failed. I might be wrong about Clinton. It has certainly happened before. I might look back in four years and say, "Clinton was good for the nation." Today I don't believe it. I certainly feel no shame and I still have no intention whatsoever of casting my vote for her. If I turn out to be wrong, then I will admit it. I've done so on other issues and I will do so again. How about we revisit this conversation after her term is up. Heck, I'll look at it again when she hits her second State of the Union address.

You might try reading the Agents of SHIELD thread instead of the DC thread.
