It’s fourteen months until Election Day 2008, and already I’m filled with the mixture of boredom, disgust, and despair that I generally don’t start feeling until mid-October of an election year. What’s worse, I have a sneaking suspicion that whatever candidate or party winds up in the White House, the next presidential term is going to be even more unpleasant than the one we’re in. Which is saying something. So, we’d better try to grab whatever brief moments of humor we can from the ongoing trainwreck we call the American political system, and that’s just what the people at Eagleview USA have done with the Hillary Clinton nutcracker. Contacted by The Sun, a company representative said, “It doesn’t have any political mumbo-jumbo with it, it’s just you look at it and you laugh.”

Smart position to take, spokesperson. But if you’re male, then just as a precaution I’d suggest that between now and January 2009 you take steps to see that your testicles are fully insured and protected by a comprehensive medical plan. Hillary has a long memory.
