Gotta give this one to Mitt, today's baby picture is a pretty damn good one:

But the Times used it with this story, both online and in print

Boomers did not demand

In reply to The source of the Mitt code

Boomers did not demand reality in their toys: lack of knee, ankle and elbow joints, feet permanently frozen on tiptoe, impossibly small waists and hips, no genitals -- all no problemo. As long as we got a general narrative to start the imagination games. With Ken, they never gave us one. He is the Arrow shirt cypher guy, and just another of Barbie's accessories. (That's why I think Barbie helped contribute to feminism, btw: guys as an accessory. And I have always disagreed with those who said different, regarding the unrealistic body image blah blah blah-no one I knew bought it, no one we knew looked deformed like that, it was just a manufacturing limitation.)

I don't know how that relates to Mitt, who does indeed look like Ken and seems to have similar joint disabilities. I have to think on that.

The source of the Mitt code can be found in the space between Barbie and Ken.

Dad is here now, you'll be safe, don't worry:

This is a time people are worried. They're frightened. They want someone who they have confidence in. And I believe I will be able to instill that confidence in the American people.

I knew something was wrong but I thought I could get away with using Trope's label for his photo.

Does Ward Cleaver sing? Singing is for girls, ask Wally & the Beav. As for Mormons, they have pros to do it for them, real famous I hear.

But then his embarrassing

But then his embarrassing singing attempt even turned off the Mormons. What a mousy voice!

The name is easier when it

The name is easier when it and a birthday are shared with your brother. I knew right away it was not Philip in the photo but it took a while longer to remember it was William.

You're right it is William.

You're right it is William. (There is a part of me that is glad that I don't have the names of the Royal family straight.)
