Breaking News: Zoey Makes Political Endorsement

I saw "Jesus Camp," so I realize that to some hardcore conservatives this video is akin to me watching small children speak in tongues, a proselytizing Army of God. Still, there's something about Zoey wearing my glasses as she announces her formal endorsement of Barack Obama that just gets me all choked up, a one woman, two-year old Army of Good. She's a smart cookie, and an integral part of America's political future...

Just in case anyone from the Obama political campaign is reading this, she also does a mean rendition of the will.i.am song, "Yes We Can." She is available for appearances throughout the month of July and only requires nonfat organic milk, blueberries and a non-stinky pair of princess slippers in her dressing room.

Porter was sitting on my lap when I clicked this and he made me replay it about, oh, 20 times. He's even trying his own rendition of "Obama, Obama, OH Yeah!" Zoey's got a fan! Maybe we can get them to perform a duet next time we get them together.

Okay, I've never posted before, but I read all the time. (I found your blog through Courtney at In(side) the Loop). Your Zoey is so adorable!! And I have a pretty darn cute 21 month old girl myself! Love your writing - I crack up all the time, and make my husband read it too! Good luck on the writing-for-money job journey! I'm rooting for you.

Where did I fail as a Mother and Grandmother? I can attest to the highest degree of cuteness quotient when The Zomeister chants, "Obama, Obama, Oh Yeah!" (and I never saw her do it with the glasses on)...BUT, but, but....WHY Obama? Why not Hillary (and yes, I know she is losing now-could it be because of,,,,,,YOU?!)? I just cannot believe that you and every woman isn't supporting Hillary-a chance for a WOMAN in the whitehouse-and a damn smart woman as well-one who has a Health Plan unlike some other candidates I could mention. O.K. I've had my say and I love you and Zoey to pieces but I do NOT supprot your political endorsements-no matter how adorable...and they are! Mom

Oh my. That's awesome.

And you are in trouble with your Mom.

Has CNN seen this? Far more entertaining than anything Wolf Blitzer and his "best political team on television" could possibly ever come up with!!!!!

I have teenagers ( and a little older ) and boy do I miss this age!

That is the cutest damn kid ever! I've been a lurker for a while since as a single childless New Yorker I feel like I shouldn't be here but you make me laugh everyday. I was worried when your blog disappeared so I am glad you are back and all is well.

P.S. I tagged you on my blog so people will be able to find you again and because I want to hear more funny stories!
