Chow Celebrate the Inauguration of Barack Obama...

Posted by Dan Savage on Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 2:24 PM

...by grinding, swallowing, digesting, and shitting the whole first family—and their little dog too! More sugary goodness has arrived at our offices: Seattle's Little Rae's Bakery ("All Natural Since 1996") sent us a package of their "First Family" cookies.

Hmm... good cookies. And they had better be, what with 10 grams of fat per cookie—six grams saturated, or 31% of your daily recommended allowance of saturated fats. (Hey, I can skip my saturated fat supplements today!) But careful how you eat the Barack cookie. We recommend you start at the bottom and work your way up. Starting at the top, well, um, let's just say that Bethany Clement accidentally conjured up some deeply unsettling Kennedyesque associations.

Fat? What about sugar? And carbohydrates? Quit obsessing about fat!

Is that Michelle Obama or Whoopi Goldberg?

That reminds me of Presidents Days past when the teacher would bring in cookies shaped like Abe Lincoln's head and I'd take a good sized bite out of his forehead. Memories...

@2, either, they all look the same to me

Why does Michelle have dreads?

well it's a good thing these images are on sweet sweet cookies and not say, Carr's or Ritz, cause putting a blackface on a cracker is a very racist thing indeed.

Atkins, saturated fat is what really matters. The uniformed are all like OH HAY IT ONLY HAZ 200 CALORIES meanwhile the saturated fat is through the roof and becomes what your body will store because you had like 200% of what you should for the day

All this Obama shit is going to be going for millions, I mean pennies, on Ebay in ten years.

I could leave a turd with frosting on it and you people would eat it.

OMG those are totally the best cookies! Probably the only truly great sugar cookies I've gotten from a grocery store.

Trim your nails, Dan, especially if you're the top.

For the inauguration in DC, I'm staying at the home of a couple of guys I've never met. I've been racking my brain trying to come up with an appropriate thank-you gift for them. This is it, in spades!

ummm yum yum yum. Now everyone including Michelle can say that had a piece of that Obama

Posted by Jesshizzle on January 14, 2009 at 4:57 PM

Do the Obamas realize that Malia or Sasha may be a lesbian? Transgender?

There IS NO "heterosexual guarantee" issued at birth. THE UNEQUAL OBAMA.

I checked these out in the Whole Foods line, but they're just kinda weird. The images are very blurry and washed out. C'mon, Little Rae. You can do better.

Hmmm, what is "All Natural" blue dye made out of?
