The Obamakinz: the latest must-have accessory

Blog_hstrange_2_3Meet the Obamakinz - the latest must-have accessory for fans of Barack Obama. A multipurpose toy, it'd also make an ideal gift for conservatives seeking a liberal effigy to burn, or perhaps a voodoo doll for the Clinton camp.

Obamakinz_2 This 8-inch high doll costs $16.95 from Herobuilders, which also counts among its products a $55 Barack and Hillary dream ticket combo for relentless optimists, a Larry Craig "I'm not gay" action figure and a bloodied Uday Hussein for the more sadistically-minded consumer.

Hillary Clinton's got hers on order, and Bill's bringing the pins...

Catholic, conservative & 7/8s Caucasian (1/8 Comanche)my vote is going to go to John McCain; but had I to make a choice between Obama & Billary, I'd certainly choose Barack.

But the latter issue is moot, because Barack is going to be the Dimocraps' nominee. That's settled, regardless Hillary's deranged refusal to admit it.

So are effigies of black people OK now? Better tell Robinsons Jam to get their Golliwog back on their jam pots.

First the Times publishes a cover picture of Obama looking like he's being lynched with his own tie (Tue March 4th) Now they publish an article advertising Obama voodoo dolls for Hilary supporters to stick pins into.

I wonder what you all have planned for next week; cardboard cutouts of Obama for target practise down on the rifle range maybe?

Is it just me or is the Times going down hill?

OK, so none of the attacks against Obama are related to race, huh? Hannah Strange certainly lives up to her name. There should be a great future for her at The Mail or The Sun.
