That is Barack and Michelle Obama, with their two beautiful daughters. I apologize in advance to anyone who has a different view of politics, but I need to gush today about the hope I have for our country at this transcendant moment in American history.
1. Barack Obama embodies the “American dream” in ways that usually [...]
That is a photograph of me getting my draft on, at the first Pro Circuit, choosing my Inmates. Someone’s life was about to change. Life? What is life?

(Magneto gets inspirational, by Adam Kubert and Mark Irwin)
Hello friends, and welcome to the Spring Break edition of the Full Body Transplant Thursday Thirteen! I have to get back to my week of cavorting, so this one is going to be a bit different.
