From out of the "strange news" file comes word that a "Savage Dragon" comic book, the cover of which features a flag-waving President Barack Obama smacking terrorist leader Osama bin Laden, sold for $202.50 on eBay® Italy March 10.

An Image Comics Group's publication, Savage Dragon brings to life the story of a "a large, finned, green-skinned humanoid whose powers include super-strength and an advanced healing factor," according to Wikipedia.  "He is also an amnesiac: his earliest memory is awakening in a burning field in Chicago, Illinois. Thus, for most of the series, the origins of his powers and appearance are a mystery to readers. At the beginning of the series, he becomes a police officer and battles the mutant criminal “superfreaks” that terrorize Chicago.”

Picking up on the obvious Chicago link between Obama and the Savage Dragon, the folks at IHATETHEMEDIA.com surmised that the superfreaks terrorizing Chicago must be "Blagoman, RezkoMan and ACORNMan." Seems like a logical conclusion to me.
