Ok, now just a disclaimer here: I'm not an Obama or Clinton supporter nor am I trying to inflame things between the Obama/Clinton camps. But I like to check out "Barely Political" once in awhile and this one just struck me as hilarious. No pun intended.

;)

As a feminist-era mom of two adult children, I started out dubious... progressed to mildly offended... then started laughing.

:D

Clever and very funny.

PS - And I install my own software, thank you very much!

11. My mom's a commercial support tech at Adobe...
I daresay she installs her own software too.

7. Glad DUers still have a sense of humor
I was afraid this would get flamed, but it seems there is still the ability to laugh at ourselves

12. Funny thing is, Barely Political seems to usually be pro-Obama
(They have Obama Girl, etc.)

I think they probably figured people would take it with a grain of salt.

13. This is hilarious.
My mom would have taken umbrage and not see the irreverent value of it as she would have viewed it as a personal attack on her.

18. I have a different take on it.
Having perceived that my art career needed to include computer skills, I returned to college at the age of 57 to acquire them.
Unhappily I encountered,the mis-asssumption by my fellow GenX fellow students, that I was creaky.... a lot of Carter bashing and dissing of the 70's as well. I am a pretty good communicater, so I tried to breach that wall........they weren't listening!!!!
( No bright light designers among them!) No rational thinking explained it either.
That was the beginning of my search which has led to my political stance today!
Part of the right wing plan is to cause division between generations, as well as economic classes, racial divides etc.! I became sensitized to TV fare, generating this attitude. ( disclaimer: for the first 50 years of my life I moved freely among all diverse groups with no problem!.Until Abouutttt Jan 20 1981!!!
My Grandchildren call me "Techy Gramme"

15. Baby Boomer Here.
I went through the "equal pay for equal work" struggle in the early seventies. I wasn't offended -- I thought it was very funny and well done.
