The Dangers of Getting What you wish for

So John McCain lampooned Obama for his lack of foreign diplomatic experience. Obama promptly scheduled a fact finding tour, and the press and foreign countries ate it up. Visuals of Obama sinking hoops with the armed forces while McCain looked decrepit riding around in a golf cart made the rounds of the media. The result? McCain is now bìŧçhìņg about the media’s love affair with Obama.
Sorry, Senator McCain. What you should have done was keep your mouth shut and not talk about Obama’s not visiting Iraq in several years until September, when it would have been too late for Obama to arrange a foreign sweep. Instead you enabled him to turn a liability into a plus. And since it was all your idea, I don’t really see where you get to complain about it.

Senator Ted Stevens

The embattled senator has been depicted wearing a Hulk necktie based on the cover of Hulk #401, written by yours truly. Apparently it’s his favorite tie when he’s in trouble. I’m starting to get an inkling of how Rowena felt upon learning that her art was a favorite of Saddam Hussein. In the words of Groucho, it’s a club that you really would rather not be a part of since it would have you as a member.

The mice at home decided to come out and play
We have had “Ask Peter”. We have had “Ask Kathleen (aka Ask the Wife)”
So now Ariel and Caroline are taking questions.
So this is Ask the Kids.
Fine print; If I (being Kathleen) think a question is inappropriate I will make it vanish. There are questions that might get a pass for various reasons including Non-disclosure agreements and other legal things that we have to abide by. Please be understanding if we don’t or can’t answer.
So there it is. What questions do you have for the children of Peter David
