WNW: Chuck Approves These Messages

This is not an endorsement of Mike Huckabee as a presidential candidate, but god damn, the man knows how to use an internet meme:



Your thoughts on his politics aside, you've got to admit, that's the savviest campaign ad in decades. This guy, at least, knows the value of viral advertising and how the internet helps shape elections. For that, I give him props.

But whatever my political affiliation may be, I'd like to point out that I am pro-Chuck Norris. Not even a blender can defeat him!

Will it blend?

In perhaps the most shocking display of conspicuous consumption I have yet seen, Tom Dickson blends an iPhone.

With a blender.

I am aghast, and yet, the artist inside me approves, for I too have had a similar dream: a dream where I pursue a career in politics, or perhaps law, for the express purpose of appearing before a Senate subcommittee headed by Ted Kennedy. And whenever the Elder Senator from Massachusetts asks me a question, I will proudly state in a loud, clear voice -- a voice that will resound throughout the chamber, and across C-Span, and mayhap even the entire world ---

"Mary Jo Kopechne is unavailable for comment."

Sure, I'll be flushing my political career away just to deflate that pompous windbag, but Sweet Buttery Eris, it will be worth it.
