It's time we all reached down deep, some maybe deeper than than others, to Save the Children. It's Obama as the Sally Struthers of our national conscience. It's more than that. He's the guy on our big national speedboat with lots of babes in bikinis.

"As a preview of life in a socialist America, Barack Obama's half-hour Infomercial Wednesday evening wasn't half bad. It had its pricey origins in a broken promise about practicing restraint with money. With a mood-molding musical soundtrack, it featured a peerless leader moving among the common folk. He listened to the sad stories of their gray and difficult lives in a land of scarcity. He did this in his shirt sleeves."
- The Anchoress "All of these “narrowing” polls are proving one beautiful thing, definitively: that America actually is more post-racial than most realize."

Iowa. Taxes in Washington made that price a fading dream.

Thought so; I have a vague recollection of prices being $.99 in Federal Way, but that was in the late 80s. I'll be surprised if it ever gets that low there again.
