    Did the McLauchlins name their son after James Howlett? Just curious. Congrats to them on the new arrival!

    Also, Battlestar Galactica is back on January 16.

    I wonder how current that Obama unknown fact about him collecting Spider-Man and Conan comics is. That sounds like maybe something he “used” to do, like when he was a kid or in college.

    But maybe I’m just being cynical. I think it’d be awesome to see one of those everyday behind the scenes White House photos with Barack reading a Spider-Man comic (Here come the anti-BND folks with commentary – wait for it).
