Christine: the real asset here is two cute blond children of the opposite sexes and in a pre-braces age. With only a modest investment in appropriate wardrobes, you could do well renting them out to the Supreme Court nominees and other public officials who want to make a good impression on the Congress.

Better yet - this may the right time for Christine to make her own run for public office. Of course, the harm to theconglomerate would certainly be irreparable (no offense, Vic and Gordon), and I would suspect foul play by those folks at ideoblog.

Christine, Mike wants you to consume your assets today, but we all know you should invest them instead. If you start developing the market for cute rented children now, you will be able to run for public offices forever. But if you simply run today, it will be only a couple of election cycles before your daughter moves into the Lolita age. And what's your fallback strategy then?

I'm surprised Luke didn't get a hair braid too!

Is it just my computer screen, or did you color coordinate the lollipop with your daughter's hair hairband?

I'm not sure what's scarier: (a) the crazed look on Christine's face, or (b) the fact that the picture makes her arm look like it's about 6 feet long, as if she's a character in Fantastic Four.
