Give me a little while and I'll make a slideshow (or at least a sequence of pictures) showing how I did it. This is because BarnakedLady and primate1 were interested, if either of them are still around....

	The &quot;elitist&quot; label which Republicans love to pin on Democrats

	<description>
	I love this, in the sense that I admire the audacity of it. It's not quite what it looks on the surface. It appears to be blatant hypocrisy. But it isn't. Actually it's unbelievable cynicism. So I have decided after giving the matter some thought.<br />

It appears to be hypocrisy because Republicans ac...

	Only women do that. Guys with new babies never bring their kids into work. Actually he was there with his girlfriend, but my point stands. It's only because they both work here. He would never have brought his kid in otherwise.<br />
