And to think we used to be satisfied with bobblehead dolls. Technology, and American marketing genius, march on!

I'm swear not making this up!

Words just can not describe the laughter when people see our Pull My Finger Farting George Bush Doll. Not only does he fart, he sings and shakes too! Standing over 8" tall pull the Commander in Chiefs finger and he'll shake, fart and say 7 wacky phrases and a fart song in the off-beat tradition of our great leader.

You know, this whole "pull my finger" concept does tend to, erm, recontextualize manly, authoritative images like this:

Wouldn't you agree?

02:24:14 Jeff W Elizabeth Warren on the economy on PBS's NOW: you can watch it online here: [url] "If [Congress] gets it wrong, the country we knew is gone."
17:52:53 Davidson So, of course they're not going to show the truth about boxing her in from the beginning.
17:51:57 Davidson Yeah, that was just a comment in general, like, "Not even the RBC decision warranted scrutiny."
15:38:02 lambert That's not the RBC meeting, though. That's the smoking gun, beyond "Smart politics" (Wolfson).
14:17:16 Davidson Notice how everyone still avoids exposing the RBC decision
14:16:04 Davidson Can someone do a post on this? [url]
10:04:26 lambert Jeff, thanks. Fixed.
02:05:14 Jeff W lambert, your "especially with Obama's youthful base" link here [url] is broken. :(
