If we can't have Captain Kirk ...

In the category of "I don't know if this is good news or bad news for Obama" is a survey that finds more Americans think President Obama would be better able to handle an alien invasion than Mitt Romney.

No, really: I read this in a Los Angeles Times story.

And the survey didn't stop there.

It even asked which superhero Americans would turn to first in the event of an alien invasion. (It's the Hulk.)

I happen to believe that there must be extraterrestrial life, and very likely intelligent extraterrestrial life (the universe is just too big for Earth to be the only place harboring life of any kind), but I don't believe in the Hulk, so ... I'm not sure where this survey leaves me.
