We have to win this thing. I don’t have anything clever or funny to say about it.

Kid Politik
Posted in The Sleepy Pee-Pee, Tubular, tagged Barack Obama, election, John McCain, kids, media on October 28, 2008| 1 Comment »
Two cool pieces of kid political media this morning.
First, via my sister who runs a program for kid media literacy and digital video production in Oregon, some adorable blazer-d Ron Clark Academy kids covering T.I.’s “Whatever You Like”
Second, via Wonkette, intrepid kid reporter adorably interviews Joe Biden – the interview starts around 3:30, but the kid talking to the news reporter part is pretty cool, too.
I can has hope?
FROM UGGS:
I am so worn out over this election, but seeing kids involved (or at least, being reminded that their futures are involved) makes it all seem more worth fighting for. This picture pretty much sums that up for me:
(That picture came from this amazing blog post, which quoted it from here.)

Mozambican Postcard

Please notice that the top of the bag says “Feliz 2005.” These chips possibly were in fact from 2005. We picked them up at a gas station on our way back south toward the end of the trip. As Mr. MiddleChild put it: “Worse than dog food.” More on Mozambique to come…
I need to blog a REAL blog

Ya know, a blog where I talk about my feelings, and politics, and my feelings about politics.
But I don’t have time to do that today, so instead, here is something from Best of Craigslist, WHICH, I think, kind of sums up my feelings about politics!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DUCK MASK
“Full head rubber mask, old, has discoloration on white feather part from age, storage. Hey I got it on my big head, so it works that way. ”

Is this not about the smelliest picture, ever?

Fist-bumping Obama!

Here’s a really great idea for a fundraiser: pay some ca$h, get a picture of you and the Obaminator (if you haven’t noticed, I kind of like the -ator suffix) partaking of the ol’ terrorist fist jab! Here’s my favorites from the set:

Jessica Alba, her empty dead eyes and her Louis Vuitton muzzle remind you to vote (or die).
I just remembered to request my absentee (aka fake) ballot before leaving – if you, too, are cheating and still voting in your home state where it actually counts instead of in, say, a non-state, get your absentee ballot, dangit!
Tomorrow Mr. MiddleChild and I depart for two weeks with my friend who is in Mozambique as a Peace Corps volunteer. I will try not to eat all the Oreos, Rice Krispee Treats and Butterfingers her mom sent me to courier over, but I’m just saying I have about 30 hours of travel and am not bringing my ipod so…
See you in mid-October, when I will have stories of one or more of the following:
– The Yotel
– Diarrhea (And believe me, I will be *real* about this with you)
– Hilarious miscommunications/Portuguese bumbles in which Mr. MC ends up trading me for bus tickets
– Beaches, horseback riding, snorkeling, travel by dhow, traveling overland, visiting my friend’s classroom and former host family, and MORE!
I leave you this image from our recent trip to Michigan:
I sure miss that state.
I never knew Ultraman had such mad dance skillz

Via +2Charisma. I love the line-dancing rogues gallery and Ultraman’s Scat-styling fedora.
Actually, I mostly like this video because it reminds me of this Moldy Peaches music video:

Look at what I have found. Go ahead. Just look at it.
This might be the cutest fucking thing ever in the history of Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital in Buckinghamshire.
Here is what Uggs had to say about it:
Because it's our prerogative
