I used to think only MALE rePublicans were deranged psychopaths.

I have had to pause and give a long think to “the meaning” of the advertisement. It’s kind of a Rohrschach (sp) thing and could have many meanings. The carrots & onions theme probably popped into some people’s minds because of the time of day and hunger on the mind. But, there are other possibilities.

I’d rather think it doesn’t indicate much of anything. It gets Hilary’s face on t.v. without her having to say anything — and that’s apparently the best she has to offer.

The tentative offer of “Isn’t peace and prosperity for 8 years worth doing again?” is first of all not guaranteed and second NOT ENOUGH. I add the “NOT ENOUGH” because I believe there are a lot of pent up needs of Americans and we can’t afford Republican-Lite again. We can’t afford to let Bush &Co off with a slap on the wrist. We can’t afford to accept the moral decrepitude they offer us. We need more.

If I were being snarky I might suggest the sudden blank ending is how I’d like to see the Clinton show come to an end. We need to get past that era and make some big progress with new leadership.

The Gravel ads are vintage ’60s absurdist comedy. Almost Monty Python-esque. They don’t whack you over the head with their attempt at humor, but they’re a far gutsier move than a SNL-level parody of the pop culture moment of last week.

Then again, Gravel has little to lose by trying something completely different.

Oh goddammit, I love those baby carrots. Great to snack on, easy to cook and good for you. Does this make me gay?

The one thing this author has in common with the person they are attacking is that they both take themselves WAY too seriously.

Mostly likely in EPU-land, but I just have to say that “Sometimes a carrot stick is just a carrot stick.”
