Filed under: Things That Toaster Thinks About
“If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog,” Harry Truman once said famously. He made it sound so easy.
In fact, President-elect Barack Obama’s search for a new family puppy is now breeding some ill will among dog lovers.
It is not exactly like taking heat for his position on the Gaza conflict, but Mr. Obama is sparking criticism from those who spend time thinking about these things for his family’s drawn-out search, their “naivete” and their “conflicting public statements” on exactly what kind of pooch the family is looking for.
We would like to point out that toasters make wonderful pets. They are hypoallergenic, cheerful, and extremely loyal. Yes, they tend to drop crumbs all over the house, but with the proper training they can be taught to drop their crumbs in a litter box or on old newspapers.
Mr. Obama, get your children a toaster!

I couldn’t agree more. Ours has brought much joy to the household already. Dogs, on the other hand, have to be walked. And if Toaster isn’t an advertisement for The Joy of Toast, I don’t know who is.
