Yes we can ... can’t we?
THE Obama campaign is not kidding around. I recently visited its headquarters in Chicago, and I can personally vouch for how much it’s not kidding around. Yes, there was a blue ping-pong table in the middle of the office, custom-made, evidently, because the Obama 2012 logo was emblazoned on it. (Twice.)
There were printouts of people’s nicknames — Sandals! Shermanator! — where corporate nameplates usually go. There was a mesh trucker hat from South Dakota, which was blaze orange and said “Big Cock Country” on the crown. There was a cardboard speech bubble (“nom nom data nom”) affixed to an Uglydoll. There was miniature air-hockey table. A narwhal mural. A stuffed Rastafarian banana.
