Look, up in the sky, it's a birdbrained, a plain stupid and Superbad stimulus


All superheroes need a catch phrase. Superman has “up, up and away”. Bruce Banner’s Hulk says, “You won’t like me when I am angry”. “We are the future” was uttered only once by X-Men’s Magneto but it fit so well. And who can forget Conan invoking his God on frequent occasion saying, “By Crom” before severing a limb or a head.
The Thing said “It’s clobberin’ time”. But what catch phrase will be associated with The ONE. At present, our nation’s newest superhero, Barack “The ONE” Obama, seems taken with Buzz Lightyear’s “To infinity and beyond”; at least when he is talking about government spending.


In his mild mannered community organizer alter ego days he spoke often about change. This change message continued through is super ego days as a state and national senator. Now that he is free of the mask of the political candidate, The ONE is beginning to act like the ultra ego, trying not to chain smoke savior that many feel was elected.

Coming faster than a speeding bullet the unstoppable stimulus package is growing to a height that even superman would need several bounds to clear. On Tuesday, November 18th, it was reported The ONE wanted $300 Billion dollars as a stimulus package. This figure was, at the time, twice the size of most of the proposals floated by those of his own party in Congress. One week later, that figure Hulked up to $500 Billion. It was $600 Billion on December 11th. One day later it hit ONE TRILLION dollars!

My spidey sense is tingling and it isn’t in that good Kirsten Dunst in a rain soaked shirt kind of way. It is a “where’s a real hero when you need one” feeling. Smallville may be Superman’s hometown but it is nowhere near where the size of our government is going to be should The ONE get his way and, from the looks of it, his minions are poised to truly be his boy and girl wonders.

We can only hope the Republicans in the Senate and House have a supply of Kryptonite laced moves to derail the coming train of spending.

Until then, we will have to be our own superheroes. If you want to come up with a catch phrase of your own, go here for help. If you do, send me your phrase so I know what to yell when you fly by.
