Brain-ghazi-gate continues on

Sometimes I just chuckle about American politics. Everyone keeps talking about Hilary Clinton running for president.


It's kind of like the chatter on message boards and websites about the Justice League movie. It hasn't been made and there's all kinds of speculation about who will be the villain, which heroes will be in the Justice League with a lot of sites believing that Cyborg will replace the Martian Manhunter. I grew up in the era where Cyborg was a member of the Teen Titans (with Robin, Wonder Girl, Kid Flash, and Speedy) and where the Martian Manhunter was the hero that actually brought Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, and Aquaman together because of a crisis. Then I read that Captain Marvel might be in the Justice League.

The point is that there is a lot of noise about future events while current events don't seem to be as important. To paraphrase Yoda, it seems like we are all focused on the future and not what is happening now.

Update

After stating she would not, Nancy Pelosi has appointed five Democrats to the Benghazi committee, which I find worth chuckling about since Benghazi is a false controversy, per the video above.
