So I was hanging out over at J. Greely’s place. He’s an online buddy of Steven Den Beste (who is finally back online about 24 hours after I decided he wasn’t coming back!), and a high level tech-geek. His blog tends to have some interesting things much of the time (as opposed to this one, which is only interesting some of the time). Today he’s linked to a site for a children’s book, “Why Mommy is a Democrat.” Except he titles it “A Republican Victory In 2008.”
Here’s a link to three sample pages. All I have to say is that if you don’t see why this promotes Republicans, you must be a Democrat. Or too young to know.
I was faintly amused at the author’s last paragraph in his biography:
I currently live in Madison, Wisconson, with my partner Julia, her daughter Isabella (age six) and our cat Zachary — all lifelong Democrats.
(emphasis added)
This may explain why there wasn’t a page in the book saying “Democrats promote family values and committment through marriage.” I mean, I’m no blue-nose, and don’t have a problem with shacking up as such, but when there’s kids invovled, I think you need to make a damn committment to being around and raising them. That to me = marriage, not “yo mama’s my ho.”
Democrats, get a .clue.
You’ll pardon me if I don’t say something snarky about ‘marriage’ and ‘commitments’. There are several places I could go with that one.
Well, yeah, but this guy can say “our” cat, but it’s “her” daughter? Excuse me if I consider him a less than sterling example of fatherhood. Or manhood for that matter.
