Shopping in a local Berkeley toy story yesterday, I came across three options that are uniquely suited for this holiday season. (Note: I'm not making these up. Photographs are attached as evidence.) 

(1) For your friends in the Tea Party Movement: "The Angry Mob Playset." 

(2) For your friends who are still dancing to Michael Jackson's "Thriller." "The Glow-in-he-Dark, Flesh-eating Zombies Playset." 

(3) For your Democrat friends who feel the president is (a) failing to stand up to the GOP or (b) inexplicably pushing Bush-era financial and foreign-policy programs that you find hard to swallow: "The Barack Obama Acton Figure We Can Believe In." Note the caveat on the toy: "Warning: Choking Hazard. Small Parts." (There is even a "Do It Yourself" version for your GOP buddies who want to paint the Prez as a foreign-born Muslim.)
