Someone in seattle is HILARIOUS!

I think it says more about you than it does about them. Just a plain old art deco sign. But then, I'm not totally obsessed with all things phallic like you guys.

The Mecca Cafe? Now who's spreading rumors that Obama is Muslim?!

Hillary-usly inappropriate.

That's just because Hillary has a tendency to strangle her caucus. She chokes down opposition and has a tendency to expel members of her caucus prematurely. Because I've heard she's got a problem in that regard.

Glad you guys like it. I bartend at the Mecca on Monday and Fridays during the day, stop by and I'll pour ya a stiffy.

Also, we have a killer happy hour from 3-7pm Monday through Friday. $1 High Lifes, $1 off wells and local micros. Sorry for the shameless plug, its slow this time of year. ;-)

I think Fifty-Two-Eighty (#5 above) totally missed the gag.

Fucking juvenile misogynists.

Many of the pro Obama arguments are at about this level of maturity and insight. "He'll get us to single payer health care because, you see, by going for less than universal we actually are positioned to later on get not only universal but single payer!"

"He'll help us win in November because look, he filled up an arena in Idaho -- that means we are going to win in Idaho in November!!"

"He's for unity so the Republicans will just let him pass everything we want!"

Can you imagine if instead of a joke about Hillary not having a penis, this was a racial "joke" about Obama -- put up on a sign -- and celebrated in the Stranger?

Misogyny: the new Humor!

If that was the "joke," then I'm happy I missed it.

I bet you are a real hoot at parties.

I actually thought it would be funnier if it had said "Hillarys Caucus is Bigger Than Baracks".

But then, it wouldnt have been true.

Lusty Lady is so bummed they didn't think of this first.

Fabulous.

I'm immature, so I find that hilarious. Is it sexist? Maybe. Would it be just as funny if Obama were running against a woman? Yup.

However, I'm a copy editor so the lack of apostrophes bothers me.

It's the misplaced apostrophe's that always get me.

You stay classy, Cafe Mecca.

Heh, for the apostrophe's to be "misplaced", they would have to be "placed" there from the get-go. ;-)

Unforuntely, as old as our marquee is, we lost those long ago.

Hilariously apt use of the sign and equally inappropriate.
