Stan Lee awarded the Medal or Arts honor

(Yes, this is mentioned over in the You'll all be sorry forum, but it seems more appropriate here).

Today, Stan Lee, quite possibly the biggest name in comics, was awarded the National Medal of Arts. (http://www.omnivoracious.com/2008/11/excelsior-stan.html)

Hey! George W. Bush did something we can all agree was a good thing - presenting Stan Lee with the National Medal of Arts. It's nice to see we can finally come together in a spirit of bipartisanship over something.

So wait, he gets a medal or arts? That's like Sophie' Choice.



Actually, kind of funny, given Stan tends to pal around with Democratic fundraisers.

The medal was originally going to go posthumously to Kirby, but Stan donkey punched his corpse when they exhumed it to give it the medal and took it.



Anyone care to go worse?
