Babies for Barack and Chuck for Huck


AsianAmericansforObama.com has "Babies for Barack!" with the cutest baby endorsing him. It is adorable. I think it is time for all babies to let us know who they want for president. Babies got it going on! I think most of them are born Democrats. Have you ever hung out with a baby with a toy? Usually, if you smile at them and show some interest in the toy, they will give it to you. That's a straight up Democrat move! You don't become a Republican until you lose all your baby teeth and fall down a lot and get the croup and then become angry and bitter.

I live in a weirdly conservative neighborhood, where at the local watering hole, old dudes sit around the bar talking about campaigning for Mike Huckabee. It would be scary, but they are all so drunk and cirrhosis-bound that they don't seem to actually pose a threat. What is there to like about Huckabee? He's a hit with the home-schoolers, which is a red flag in the first place. Perhaps it's his love affair with Chuck Norris that is appealing. They are the Brangelina of the Christian Right. KD Lang, who I worked with last weekend (and who is an absolute BABE -- totally beautiful and dreamy -- so handsome -- looks just like Jake Gyllenhaal), called them "Chuckabee" -- which is just so perfect.

Babies look so wise and all-knowing when they're peaceful and relaxed... It's almost enough to make you forget that, most of the time, they're total fucking idiots.

I know high school drop-outs that are smarter than babies.

Kudos to KD - "Chuckabee" is just brilliant.

Unfortunately I think it's necessary to undermine the political process with cute babies and Chuck Norris endorsements because there are still people out there who "sure as hell won't vote for that 'Osama' guy. ;(

The majority of babies demonstrate the correct approach to any and all politicians: "Who is this person and why is he or she talking to me? Do I know this person?"

We would all do well to evince more of this attitude.

"It would be scary, but they are all so drunk and cirrhosis-bound that they don't seem to actually pose a threat"

If they can vote, then they pose a threat.

Babies are entirely undifferentiated...awash in universal consciousness. Their sexual behavior was described brilliantly by Freud as "polymorphous perversity".

It's only when they leave the garden, and begin to eat from the tree of knowledge that they start to label themselves (and others too) as dems and repubs, gays and straights, blacks and whites and yes, yellows/browns/reds, too.

Is that a good thing? Or a bad thing?

We report, you decide...otay?

If Democrats are so damned giving, where is my Obama button? I ordered it 3 weeks ago.

Someone finally said it, democrats are big babies.
