I don’t usually blog about additions to my blogroll. This one was too funny not to pass on via a post.

In a recent moment of inspiration while eating pizza one evening down in Williamson County, two intrepid heroes, Bob DeMoss and Mark Whitlock, hit on an idea sure to go viral. Obama Waffles! More than just a mere recitation of the changes the Democratic candidate has undergone in the last few months, this idea had a product to take away from the contact. A box of waffle mix, complete with humorous graphics. The product was a parody of a presidential candidate’s positions. Our budding Capitalists realized a hit when they saw it and in an instant, Obama Waffles were born.

Of course, it is never that simple. The product took off almost immediately and Bob and Mark just returned from the Value Voter’s Summit in Washington DC. They had the misfortune of running into the other side of the debate. Much has already been written of Democrats and their propensity for activity that is not merely morally empty but filled with practically every sort of immorality. A simple stroll down Sarah Palin Parkway reveals that there is no immorality that the Left will not champion or embrace. With such serious folks on the Left, it’s no wonder they seem incapable of recognizing humor when they see it. Everything must be serious. Thus the box of Obama Waffles cannot be seen as a parody or caricature, the Left demands it be seen as racist!

In Washington DC, according to Obama Waffles’ blog The Daily Waffle, Bob and Mark ran afoul of the American Atheists who loosed an AP reporter on the Family Research Council, sponsors of the event, who asked why they permitted racist material to be displayed and sold at their event. The FRC asked the pair to stop selling their product which they immediately did. No word on whether the same American Atheist activist also contacted the protesters outside and asked them to desist in their public indecency in displaying a sign reading “Focus on your own F***ing Family”. All activists are equal but some activists are more equal than others, evidently.

Bob and Mark are back in Tennessee and are still selling their wares online. For those who choose to try and continue the “You’re just despicable racists!” meme, please see their post wherein they point out a host of other uses (by the Left of course) of caricatures and parody of equal quality which must then also be classified as racist. Or we can all be adult and recognize caricature and parody when we see it. But if you insist, I’ll ask Bob and Mark to stop selling their waffles if you write to Gary Trudeau and ask for a written apology for his offense against Condi Rice.

Until then, order up a mess of Obama Waffles and have a family moment over the kitchen table. Share some quality time making waffles or pancakes and pass on to the young’ns the value of critical thinking. Check out The Daily Waffle for plenty of object lessons with which to make your point.
