World's Most Powerful Woman Is Not A Superhero!

According to Forbes, the most powerful woman on Earth is newly-appointed German Chancellor Angela Merkel with U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice coming in a close second. As for Halle Berry, she isn't even on the list despite getting a more expanded role as Storm in the recent X-Men III movie. Personally, I think that makes no sense since the German Chancellor's greatest power is being able to "get along with other world leaders". As for spontaneously created hurricanes, tornadoes, and other various forces of nature, so far the Chancellor has failed to create so much as a slight breeze (well, unless, of course, you count that time she partook of too much camembert at a local campaign dinner). Also not in the ranks are Angelina Jolie despite her ability to play dual roles of super assassin and Mother Teresa and Lynda Carter who was not only Wonder Woman but also principal over all the world's future superheroes in Sky High. However, Oprah did make the list although she was pushed all the way down to number fourteen. I don't know much about the German Chancellor but I doubt she is worth as much as a small country and I doubt even more that she gives out impromptu houses to her people. But, then again, I'm not German so I couldn't really comment on such matters. Still it was nice to see that an American lady took second although it wasn't one of our really good female role models. Nothing against Condoleezza but I'm starting to get really tired of seeing those caricatures of her big ol' head with that big ol' smile with that big ol' gap between her front two teeth. Here's a bit of advice for yah Condie: either stop smiling so much, fix the gap, or use that power to off a couple hundred political doodle artists. Which ever way yah go won't matter a bit to me.
