To be fair, at least the Republicans have a duck. The Democrats have…the guys from Doonesbury? Wait, I know! A penguin: Opus from Bloom County! …Wait, that strip ended a while back didn’t it? And then it ended again. And still again just a year or two back, now.

Oh, wait. There’s Tom Tomorrow. That strip’s got…a Geordi LaForge visor-wearing…penguin. Why penguins? Is there some sort of genetic connection between penguins and donkeys?

…I really hope not. (shudder)
