Superbaby

Nicolas Cage and wife have a new son. The tyke's name is Kal-El, the birth name of Superman.

I recall an old "Saturday Night Live" skit in which Cage played a new father worried that whatever he and his wife name their baby will doom the child to getting teased mercilessly for life. The punch line to the skit is that we learn the guy is named Aswipe Johnson -- although the Cage character testily insists it is pronounced "Ass-WEE-pay."

Looks like Cage didn't learn much from that shtick. You name a kid Superman, you are fairly begging for kids to kick his ass.

I love that a guy dares makes fun when his own name implies neither winner nor a loser, only some modern-day Syssifus trapped in a scribe's purgatory...

I love that a guy insults a blogger while remaining coddled in the protective shroud of blog-comment anonymity, then misspells Sisyphus.
