The 75 BILLION DOLLARS valuation changes all the time and is based on, y'know, the market, sometimes just Superman's own feelings.

Sure, he can patent them, subject to limitations set forth in the law, e.g., novelty and utility, etc., and assuming he can file the necessary applications. Whether some alien who's probably long dead actually "invented" them is pretty much immaterial to securing the intellectual property rights.

I remember reading an article somewhere explaining that trained, live-in butlers for the super rich can easily clear six figures. Alfred probably gets a huge bonus for all his work assisting Bruce with his night job.

Yeah, but unless he has a solid business plan that includes patenting and licensing the alien IP, he can expect those supposed "billions" of dollars (don't know how the chart makers arrived at that estimate, but let's assume it's correct) to be no more than a one-time windfall, subject to state, local and federal

Woah, I didn't realize Jon Hamm was in this band.

Even before you reply, let me just say once and for all: I don't care.

You're flattering yourself, but you haven't earned it.

I doubt very many of them actually would vote for Hillary. They're more likely to just stay home on Election Day. That's part of the point.

Awesome. Now please vanish into thin air.

The rich guys who do that usually do that usually don't run for president though. And they usually don't get unsolicited calls from former presidents telling them the opposing party loves them.

Whereas I have no idea who you are or what you're about.

I used to refer to her as "the girl I'm currently banging." But she earned a promotion.

Very true. My current girlfriend volunteered for Sanders.

It's the appeal of populism. If you're good enough at faking it, like Trump, and also have his level of name-recognition, you might be surprised at how many people you can fool.

"Legitimate" meaning "people whose affiliation with the party is beyond doubt," not "people that @Dunk likes."

Oh sure, it's totally a coincidence that Hillary attended his wedding. It's not at all suspicious that he donated to the Clinton Foundation. And so what if Bill called Trump just before he decided to enter the GOP race? YUP. Nothing to see here, folks.

Mr. Meeseeks, can you make the case that the Coen brothers are crypto-conservatives? Because Ignatiy Vishna-whatever sure couldn't.

Of course I don't mean it. Trump is clearly a Hillary Clinton plant whose candidacy was designed to appeal to the worst instincts of the Republican base and divert attention away from legitimate GOP primary candidates, giving her an easy win in the general election. Basically, democracy is already dead.

Part of me sort of wants Trump to become president, just to see people like @Xanderpuss go caaaa-ray-zee on Election Night. Like, weeping and rioting in the streets crazy. It'd be like the opposite of the spontaneous unseemly love-in of Election Night 2008.

I haven't seen this episode, having stopped watching around Season 8. Needless to say, I'm SHOCKED — The Simpsons has been scraping the barrel for SIXTEEN YEARS.
