Dressed in a black Batman costume, his fists clenched as he took on foe
after foe around San Francisco, a 5-year-old boy who has battled
leukemia for years fulfilled his wish Friday to be his favorite superhero.
...
Batkid was called into service by Police Chief Greg Suhr and spent the day
zooming from one "crime scene" to the next. Accompanied by an adult
Batman impersonator, Batkid rescued a damsel in distress from cable car
tracks, captured the Riddler as he robbed a bank, and saved the San
Francisco Giants mascot — Lou Seal — from the Penguin's clutches.

I dig the Sadid comment.

The Bat Kid should run for mayor of OKC.

Whatever we may think of Baghdad-by-the-Bay, I have to say that San Francisco did itself proud with this little excursion into Sheer Fun.

That's the first time I've heard that. Too funny.
