Something Light for Lunch
Fox News has unwisely accused The Muppets of being left-wingers. Big mistake. Kermit and Miss Piggy respond at a press conference:
Campaign Gone to the Dogs
WC prizes, in particular, the ability of Americans to laugh at themselves. Whether it’s The Capitol Steps satirizing the U.S. Supreme Court or Jon Stewart mocking an issue de jour, it has always seemed to WC that our country is happiest when it is best able to glimpse the ludicrousness of what we sometimes do.
Which is why WC is pleased to see the arrival on the political scene of Dogs Against Romney:
I Ride Inside
This may be the start of a true Super Pack. True, sometimes Dogs Against Romney takes itself seriously, quoting Clay Young:
I’m not sure [if] Mitt Romney is callous, oblivious, cruel, or just a pinhead. At any rate, it’s animal cruelty. … I can’t vote for someone who would torture his dog. It would be like voting for Michael Vick.
Plus, they sell t-shirts, which is that entrepreneurial spirit thing that Romney gets so worked up about.
Doubtlessly available in a wide variety of styles and sizes.
Strictly speaking, Dogs Against Romney has been around since 2007, and is in fact a registered trademark. Good luck enforcing that.
