How did this All American snack, famous for its fabulously, yea, even
dangerously cheesy taste become the finger staining icon for the army of cowardly neocons currently promoting GWB's war? As a child of the 70's, my favorite after school snack involved Cheetos and Ding Dongs....that penultimate combination of sweet and salty, chocolate and cheese.....what could be better??? I resent the fact that my absolute favorite guilty pleasure has been co-opted to represent the underbelly of American politics! When I occasionally allow myself that tiny bag of Cheetos at the grocery store, I'm constantly looking over my shoulder to see who is regarding me with disdain. "Please, don't judge me!" I cry silently. "I am a liberal Democrat, just like you!!!"
I know you Democratic Cheeto lovers are out there. Let us reclaim this noble Frito-Lay product as our own! Perhaps what makes us different from those infamous 101st Fighting Keyboardists is the ability to refrain from Cheeto consumption whilst typing? There is nary a Cheeto crumb to be found on my keyboard! When the Republicans are swept from office, and with them, their representatives in basements across the country, will the Cheeto survive?
Please, help me protect the endagered Cheeto. Admit your passions here.
