Dolls and Waffles
These look like instant collector's items -- if you're a collector of politically-incorrect political memorabilia.
The Sarah Palin School Girl action figure, sold by HeroBuilders.com. Kathleen Angco-Vieweg, an assistant professor of sociology at American International College in Springfield, Mass., has denounced it as sexist, saying it implies that the only power attractive women have "is to turn on a man instead of using their brains and intellect."
Then there are Obama Waffles, which some entrepreneurs were selling at the recent Values Voter Summit. The AP reports that they "play off the old image of the pancake-mix icon Aunt Jemima, which has been widely criticized as a demeaning stereotype. Obama is portrayed with popping eyes and big, thick lips as he stares at a plate of waffles and smiles broadly."
So where's all the politically-incorrect McCain memorabilia?

Hay! Back off Pablo. KW's not dropped her hubby off at the Nebraskas drop box for unwanted babies.

All in good time, my sweets. All in good time. Though Nebraska IS a little bit of a drive from Dallas. I'd have to distract the hubby in some way. Is that where the super powers come in??

So now I'm expected to drive across the "scenic" midwest without drugs??? Perhaps we'll fly to Nebraska!
