I received this job posting from a friend of mine. It appears that some people really do believe that Superman exists and is looking for work...
Personally, though part of the position looks intriguing, the whole thing appears to be more a job description for an entire communications department than for a single person.
You decide...

If they fill that position for less than $150,000 a year, they're coming out on top, I say.
Meanwhile, back in mid-America, the big News of the Day is that my writing studio is a reality. It's bought, paid for, and should be happily nestled in its new home on my property by the end of today. To say I can't wait is an understatement of epic proportions!
