Reading a oped by Paul Krugman in the NYTimes. If we need more proof of how our little world of superheroes has achieved full mainstream cultural penetration (as opposed to decades ago when it was a back room geek fest only)...

talking about the political theory maximillism (going full bore for your beliefs as opposed to a measured incremental approach):

“maximalism is looking more than a bit like Green Lanternism — a belief that’s political miracles can be achieved by sheer force of will”

reading it, halfway through, I was puzzled. Green Lanternism? Did I miss something recently about a lantern in the news? But “sheer force of will” sealed it.  Maybe 20 years ago they’d throw in a POW! Or a Bam! For a little color and maybe something from the Superman canon. 

now nearly everyone knows so much about our comics world.   Top of the World Ma!!!
