AND THEN THERE’S THIS BUZZ-KILL

A company called Talking Presidents, which makes 11-inch tall Ken-like dolls (Oh, excuse us, “Action Figures”), has announced its newest product, the “Dr. Laura Talking Action Figure.” Based on the conservative radio host, the figure utters 23 recognizable sayings in her own voice including "Now, go do the right thing," "I am the proud mother of an American Soldier," "Don't argue with me, it makes me testy," and "I am my kid's mom." If you want one, hurry over the TalkingPresidents.com. The loquacious Laura is going for a relatively cheap $29.99, but they’re only making 40,000 of ‘em. (40,000? Good luck with that.)
