scary things are lurking

How recently have you looked under you bed? There are very few things I expect to find there. A lot of dustbunnies on a good day, a spider on a bad day. But never did I expect to find this...

a liberal.

Weird. Totally weird. What is it doing there? I mean, seriously, doesn't it have any better place to go?

The amazon website has the following information on this (in)famous new book:
Book Description
This full-color illustrated book is a fun way for parents to teach young children the valuable lessons of conservatism. Written in simple text, readers can follow along with Tommy and Lou as they open a lemonade stand to earn money for a swing set. But when liberals start demanding that Tommy and Lou pay half their money in taxes, take down their picture of Jesus, and serve broccoli with every glass of lemonade, the young brothers experience the downside to living in Liberaland.

Seriously I laughed out loud when I read that part about broccoli. That was the part that made me believe it was satire. Liberal satire of the conservatives being satirical about liberals, that is. If that were the case, this would have been genius.

But lo and behold, it is supposed to be a conservative's satire on the liberals.

Yes, that's right. And in case you were curious to find out more, you can get ACTUAL PAGES from the book at the website www.liberalsundermybed.com. Perhaps the best part of this website is the description of the cast of characters, including a set of people called "Broccoli Heads". Yes, that's right. Those people are people like... well... anyone who disagrees with author Katharine DeBrecht.

Well, I guess it's better than being called a dunderhead.
