A friend tells me that I’m way behind the times, and everyone has already heard about the site Barack Obama is Your New Bicycle. Ben Smith mentioned it at Politico on February 14, so in Internet years (which are like dog years, except much shorter), it’s already ancient. Still, I thought I’d call it to your attention. The site offers a seemingly endless list of things Barack did for you that demonstrate just how swell he is: Barack Obama held your hand when you were frightened. Barack Obama thought you could use some chocolate. Barack Obama folded your laundry. Barack Obama sang you the happy birthday song on your voicemail. Barack Obama gave you a puppy. This is extremely clever. And the fawning over Obama is going to get annoying very quickly. But unfortunately for Senator Clinton, it won’t be before next Tuesday. And speaking of Ms. Clinton, if you visit Hillary Clinton is Your New Bicycle, you get this: Hillary Clinton cut you off in traffic. Hillary Clinton drank from your glass. Hillary Clinton secretly hates your new haircut. Hillary Clinton left the dishes in the sink. It’s so unfair, isn’t it?
