Today is a special occasion for Jimmy’s Daily Planet: The Superman of Blogs.

This afternoon, I will order my new license plate and it will stand for “Truth, Justice and the American Way.”

I am proud to announce that my home state of Ohio, where Superman was created eighty years ago in a community outside Cleveland by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, has officially released a Superman-themed license plate to the public!

This is an absolutely amazing achievement and it reveals what a treasured and iconic superhero Superman remains to this day. This legislative success cements that Superman has flown not only into our hearts and imaginations, but also into our daily lives outside of the glistening city of Metropolis.

This outstanding accomplishment was the result of bipartisan work by State Representative Bill Patmon (D-Cleveland) and Ohio Senator Tom Patton (R-Strongsville).

This bipartisan partnership is definitive proof of the greatness that can transpire when Democrats and Republicans work together.

Talk about a super job we can all celebrate.

Thank You!
