Forget all that nonsense about Obama being secretly a Muslim--his comments at the Al Smith dinner make me wonder if he's secretly a comics nerd, having referenced both Superman ("I was not born in a manger. I was actually born on krypton....") and Mad Magazine ("People tell me I share the politics of Alfred E. Smith and the earns of Alfred E. Neumann"). 

I like the idea of a nerd in the White House.  I really wanted Gore to win in 2000 (and by win, I mean actually getting to be President).  But this could be potentially a very damaging thing for Obama.  After all, if Obama is into comic books, some voters may conclude that he is also interested in Dungeons & Dragons, and if he does play D&D, then some may think he secretly worships the Devil.  Combined with those voters who believe he is secretly a Muslim, a member of some radical black church, or a Jehovah's Witness (based on an e-mail claiming he refused to salute the flag), and we may start hearing, by election day, that Obama practices every releigion in the world.

I wouldn't put too much stock in it, though--anyone who's ever actually played D&D knows that gamers don't have time to run for President.
