Look, some days we have “real work” to do, and you’ll have to get your news, TV listings, and other dopey crap elsewhere. BUT WE STILL HAVE LINKS:

A small Italian town debuts a real live WALL-E
Maybe we should hire this “generational consultant” to let us know what 2.0somethings really want out of a blog
Lack of darts has long been the biggest problem of Nerfdom, and we finally have a solution
Your landlord, bad as he may be, is not as bad as this guy’s
Philadelphia country club goers are just a big bunch of racists

The fiercest campaign raging in America right now is smack dab in our nation’s capitol. A group of superheroes from both sides of the Marvel-DC aisle are going for the Washington D.C. mayor’s office, managed by a staff of young leaders attending the New Organizing Institute’s BootCamp.

They’re hard at work on the campaign trail while simultaneously keeping up their superheroic duties — the Green Lantern singlehandedly caught Marion Barry during his recent stalking escapade (and received the coveted Matthew Yglesias endorsement). They certainly aren’t above pandering to populist issues, as Batwoman might carry the day by her anti-street cleaning fine position alone.

The election is this Friday, so sign up to vote! Our endorsement goes to the Atom, who combines the scientific knowledge we’ll need for the new economy with a strong civil rights stance.
