Sounds Like a Cheap Marvel Comic Ripoff!

This happened yesterday...

The Dark Wraith slowly emerging from his hermetically-sealed sarcophagus to deliver his tuneless words of doom...



He actually delivered a full dose of doom (actual words from his speech):

"Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities, rusted out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation, an education system flush with cash, but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of all knowledge, and the crime, and the gangs, and the drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential. This American carnage stops right here and stops right now."

And well, what's a poor little Pilgrim to conclude? Only the Dark Wraith can save the day! Sounds like a cheap Marvel Comic ripoff. Sad!

BTW - the best little tidbit of the day came from Katy Tur of NBC News on Twitter. Looks like they were expecting big crowds yesterday. Instead, lots of empty bleachers and thin crowds. I guess the Dark Wraith and his tired schtick of doom isn't all that popular. This absolutely made my day!
