KEXP's John in the Morning

I sure do love me some KEXP. For the past couple of years, I've had little to no interest in music. Radio sucked and I've been too stingy to just go out and buy some CDs. But then Fritz told me to listen to John in the Morning and now I'm hooked. Every day, JiM sends out his playlist, top 10 and other sundry items to the "morning faithful," which I am happy to receive. I'm not sure who "Dan" is, but he always submits some really durn funny stuff. Herewith, yesterday's contribution from Dan:

The Top 5 Future Superhero Governors of California

1.Captain Caveman. Just the THREAT of hearing "CAPTAIN
CAAAAAAAAAAAAVVVVVVEEEEEEMANNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!" will stop the legislature in their tracks. Plus I'm sure he has a balanced budget hidden somewhere in his fur.

2.The Beast Master. The minute someone tries to block an important bill or motion the Governor simply summons a cheetah or a shark to devour that politician. It will end gridlock as we know it.

3.Robin. This will only happen when Batman pulls out of the race after the scandal that he and Superman are lovers. The shock that Robin wasn't his lover will propel him into the spotlight where he will take over where Batman left off. Later it will be revealed that he is having sex with batgirl and a stunned state and nation will say to themselves, "Robin isn't gay?"

4.The Green Lantern. What the hell was his power anyway? He had a ring, wore tights and he turned green I think. I have a ring, turn green and wear tights but ONLY on dates so I guess that doesn't make me a superhero just a GREAT date.

5.Grizzly Adams. Okay, he wasn't a superhero but damn did that man know how to treat a bear. HE LOVED THAT DAMN BEAR!.
