There's some good news.
The President has two favorite superheroes. One is Spiderman, which is fine, but the other is Batman. This, I believe, is very auspicious. Hey, maybe he is Batman!
Also, I fixed the soup/stew last night. It was still barley stew rather than bean, but it was good. Now the only problem is that there are about 1700 gallons of it. I guess I'll freeze some.
