Knut is cute

I've been stung by the frequent criticism that I have too much political commentary on here and not nearly enough mind-bogglingly cute polar bear cubs.  So to stop the flood of email, here's Knut:

You may be wondering how he can possibly be this cute.  Simple: most baby animals  have standard cuteometers that top out at 10, but Knut's goes to 11.  You may also be wondering why his tongue is lolling: he's eyeing a particularly toothsome person in the crowd, and imagining the day in the not-too-distant future when he'll be large enough to hold that person down with one paw and gnaw their pancreas out.

I should point out that I'm the first person in the entire world to notice that "Knut" rhymes with "cute".

UPDATE: Ok, one more:

I can literally feel my higher brain functions ceasing in the presence of his ludicrous cuteness.

Now this made my day! Just like Alex Cockburn and Counterpunch, you're not all stuffy politics. Next I guess you'll post about barbeque :-)

Is a toothsome person the same as a toofy person?

I'm confident that Knut would reply, "No; you are toothsome, and I am toofy!" Most likely as he consumed your tasty pancreas.
