While most of you enjoyed the massive Obamagasm that throbbed through the world last Tuesday and are now basking in the afterglow smoking a post-coital cigarette, we parents are left sitting on politically correct minefields that are just waiting to go off.
Just yesterday I had to weather this conversation:
Scarlett (7): "Mom, did you know that Obama is the first Native-American in the White House?"
Me: "No, he's not a Native-American, he's an African-American. Native-Americans are those people who ..." were brutally massacred and stripped of their land by whites...no, can't say that .... live in reservations and have alcohol problems ...no... "have feathers in their hair and live in wigwams."
Scarlett: "Mom, you don't know what you're talking about. What's a wigwam?"
Me: "No, hang on, I don't think they call them wigwams anymore. I think they're now called teepees."
Sausage (5): "Mom, we saw a picture of Obama at school today. Is he a brown man?"
Me: "Well, actually he's black."
Sausage: "But he's brown!"
Me: (Trying to change subject) "Did you think he was handsome?"
Sausage: "No. But mommy, he's not black, he's brown."
Me: "Look, I know he doesn't look black but he is black, okay? Sometimes people can look pretty white but are actually black."
Sausage: "Like Michael Jackson?"
Me: "Exactly!"

Nerr niew Missus K, s'fazzas Ol Chaffey zled tern unnerstan Maister Obama hazz izzen only a touch o'er tar brush. Orzoy mizztek?
willcott chaffey....yeah he only has a touch of the tar brush but you try explaining it all to the bairns!
Michael Jackson saves the day once more!
I was going to say: Micheal Jackson??!!
Sx
people in the sun...I ador Michael Jackon only one thing I will never forgive him for is that when Bubbles got older he
started to bite people and that's when Michael got rid of him. Shameless.
scarlet-blue...I wonder if Jackson identifies as black, white or android?
I suspect that is a printer's proof so the mint is ready to put Obama on the one-dollar bill after the inauguration.
xl...you are probably right. Shows that Obama looks great even in broccoli drag though doesn't it. The lucky SOB.
kids.
Seriously....your 5 year old has heard of Michael Jackson? You subject them to the most HORRID images!
The guy is just as much white as he is black, and yet people completely ignore the white part. I don't get that. Seems discriminatory to his white side.
And then there's the part about how scientists have determined that all human races are 99.9% genetically identical because we're all descended from the same few thousand survivors of the last ice age fifty thousand years ago.
But I suppose if we all accepted that we're all basically the same except for skin shades and nose shapes, the already mortally sick newspapers would have even less to talk about - oh the horror.
I feel a new word needs to be added to the dictioanry: Obamagasm - a heightened sense of pleasure that leaves one slightly flushed and inexplicably confused. Or is that a Bushgasm?
Personally speaking, I was looking forward to getting shafted by Palin with a 12" strap on.
I'm gutted.
BTW, in the event of a GOP win, I would have got over the delicate question of moose slaughtering, by saying that they are ugly f*****s and need shooting.
Are you taking the piss?
mars....they just say what everyone is thinking as in, the guy is not black he is mixed race.
trixie....my five year old adores Michael Jackson but only when he was a kid and black, she doesn't like him when he turned white and says he looks silly.
Gargamello...
The guy is just as much white as he is black, and yet people completely ignore the white part.
I know, and actually the way Obama campaigned was genius in that he never really called himself black or aligned himself with blacks because that would have risked alientating white voters ...and yet he now gets called black! hilarious!
Steve...
I believe I've been experiencing a Bushgasm for the last eight years. I'm fucked. I've been royally screwed.
little nickie robinson...
Maybe you will still get shafted by Palin with a 12" strap on if she becomes Senator, but oh shit you'd have to move to Alaska.
gilbert the alien...
Are you taking the piss?
No, I'm taking the Michael (Jackson)
Fair enough, but on Hampstead Heath they call it, "taking the George," (Michael).
Ever since a friend of mine started calling him Bamm-Bamm a few months back, I've been quietly collecting Obama-isms. Obamagasm is one of the best . . .
Isn't it interesting that the palms of everybody are practically the same color...
Hey...I pumped up your meme today and I'll be posting it tomorrow (FRI). Watch out...
Ha ha ha !
Obama is a cool guy. Reminds me of someone else we know now doing the dinner circuits.
shoot. semantics aside, i never realized how hard it would be to explain anything to a five year old.
I'm over from Ve's...
This is hysterical! Your blog, I mean. And the Christian sex blog down below.
I live in Baltimore too. I will be looking for you in the gyms. If you ever hear anyone yelling from a corner of the gym "Go get a donut!" that will be me. And I'll meet you in the parking lot with a dozen Krispies.
:-)
Do you notice your home country in the background of my avatar....
hehehe
:-)
I love the Broc picture. It's sad that we care so much about skin color. He looks green to me ;-)
I don't know why they didn't just elect Tiger Woods...
Oh my kids are terrified of Michael Jackson. We make the mistake of thinking of MJ as a whole- a morphing individual from cute little boy, to handsome young dancing thing, to girlyish yet still quite handsome dancing thing, to freak. They've only ever seen the freakish thing that he's become.
He's the ultimate example of what happens to a person with too much cash and too many yes men around.
chriseldin.....
Hi darling, if you ever see me sweating at the gym please hand me an emergengy (non felt) donut.
memarieland.....
lol.....five years olds don't get most things but do get some things you don't want them to get.
reforminggeek
.....it just annoys me that he can look handsome even with broccoli sprouting out of his ears.
fingers...
Yeah they should have as Tiger's ethnicity is as mixed as a fun pack of Dunkin Donuts
Misssy M...
Oh my kids are terrified of Michael Jackson.
Oh I know!
"Why is he grabbing his penis mommy?"
"I think that's enough of youtube for one day."
Yeah, well...as the joke goes:
Why is he called Tiger ??
Coz his mother is a Thai and his father is...
*yes, it's a disgusting word but it's a very, very funny gag*
LOLOLOL! although i think MJ has his own personal race going on.
