Autocomplete Me, Google

I was aimlessly browsing the internet and trying to figure out (of all things) the "birthdays" of DC's superheroes.  (I just found out that Nightwing's is March 20th, apparently.)

Anyway, I went to Google and typed in "Hal Jordan" and one of the autocomplete suggestions was "Hal Jordan for Congress."  Well, lol, I'd buy that T-shirt and wear it.  Wouldn't that be funny.  Hey!  They should make a whole line of "So-and-so for Congress/Public Office" T-Shirts.  So then I clicked on the link to see what Hal's platform was.

Oh, wait.  It's a real guy.  Named Hal Jordan.  Running for Congress.

Oh, and it gets better.  He has a Twitter account.

Imagine how much fun I could have with this...

Well, Hal couldn't be any worse than some of the other congressmen we've had...

If that guy is Green Lantern, I'm voting for Sinestro.

I literally lol'd at your comment, Bubba. Bad jokes FTW!

I never did get to find out when Hal's birthday is. I got sidetracked daydreaming of snarky things to write in to "Hal Jordan's" Twitter account.

I think DC should hire someone to maintain Twitter accounts for their heroes. I mean, imagine what fun it would be to read Guy Gardner's tweets...

Tom, of course Hal's a republican, but wouldn't that make Sinestro a libertarian?

It would be funny if someone Twittered to the account as Oliver Queen, arguing against the candidate's positions.
