A true story from earlier today.

[Digital Sniper]

"Well, I didn't vote for Broccoli. He has a funny name."

"Broccoli? Who's Broccoli?"

"Broccoli Bah-ma. He's a funny man."

The kid's onto something. Broccoli or Barack. Both are vegetables.

unfortunately, that thought process is awfully close to the way adults are voting.

[Mr. Jeeves]

"I like her," pointing to Hillary.

"Uhhh, but why do you want to vote for her?"

"She's nice."

"Actually, she's not."

"She's nice. I can tell."

The exact logic millions of single women will be using in November. ;)

If my 5 YO told me she liked Hellary I’d put her up for adoption. It’s just something to consider.

"true story"

Since when do 5-year-olds call home from school?

I was listening to Laura Ingraham yesterday when I picked up my five year old. Ingraham had a guest on that mentioned "Obama" repeatedly.

My daughter asked me what "Obama" was. I told her "Omaha" is where we usually go at Easter and how we like the zoo.

She asked again. I told her "Okinawa is an island in the ocean between Taiwan and Kyushu."

She repeated her query. I said, "Oh, Bambi, was that baby deer that had the funny little rabbit friend named 'Thumper'."

She asked again, protesting that it sounded like a person. I finally said, "Obama is an empty vessel of a man that some people mistakenly believe is somehow qualified and competent enough to be President."

She said, "Oh, will we have time to stop at home before I go to swimming lessons?"

I doubt he will come up again in conversation. She is only five years old- the only politician she recognizes is Senator Thune- and that is because of his Christmas cards.

My little girl turned six a couple days ago, and when I was driving to the polls and in the booth she was demanding the vote so she could vote for McCain (”He has the best name, and he was in World War I and he was in prison for seventy years, and he stayed with his friends, and that was nice, and some people think he’s too old, but I like his name and I think he’s going to win - let me vote - it’s not fair - you vote for McCain - okay you vote for both of them...”)

“Well, I didn’t vote for Broccoli. He has a funny name.”
“Broccoli? Who’s Broccoli?”

“Broccoli Bah-ma. He’s a funny man.”

That sounds my daughter and her “Jesus Crackers”. I forever couldn’t figure out what Jesus Crackers were and thought maybe it was a snack from Sunday School or something.

Turns out it was Cheese and Crackers she was asking for.

She likes those and Gorilla Cheese Sandwiches.
