When did the NYT last make you laugh out loud?
Reporting on Obama's last push before today's primaries, the New York times dares to report something hilariously funny:
Even at the end of 19-hour day, Mr. Obama seemed in good spirits, posing for photos and signing shirts, but declining to sign a dollar bill. “Secret Service would arrest me,” he said.
The pool reporter, Nia-Malika Henderson, reports the best T-Shirt slogan of the night: “Put your big girl panties on and deal with it.”

LAST TIME NYT GOT MY LAUGH
When they mistakenly posted Karl Rovs's genitalia and captioned it as Robert Bork.

I wonder if I'd get in trouble at the office if I made that my new email signature?
“Put your big girl panties on and deal with it.”
I love it!

I don't think I even understand that slogan, nor Ren's creepy response.

Here's my interpretation:
Hillary has championed herself as the only remaining "adult" in the race, but she's been acting rather childish lately.
Like the three year old that believes she deserves to get whatever she wants. "The nomination? It's mine! All mine! I don't want to share!"
Like the child on the playground who insists that the rules to whatever game she is playing should change, whenever the agreed-upon rules don't put her ahead.
Like the cranky, over-tired child who resists her bedtime.
Oh, and in case you don't get the parental reference...."big girl panties" are the reward for the young girl who successfully completes potty training.
