Erik Prince=Bruce Wayne?

Okay, I'll admit that fellow homey Erik Prince of Blackwater is a darkly fascinating figure, a right wing conservative Christian who has profited immensely ($1 billion in Iraq War contracts) from a business that frequently involves killing people, as Jon Stewart put it so well. But comparing him to Bruce Wayne of Batman? You be the judge in this new profile of Prince in today's New York Times. He may need to hide out in the Bat Cave now that Iraqi investigators have found no justification whatsoever for the Sept. 16 massacre of civilians by Blackwater mercenaries in Baghdad.

Not sure where he'd find a cave in our mutual hometown of Holland, Mich., anyway, but maybe the 7,000 acres of swamps in North Carolina that Blackwater calls home has one.
