ajama Boys place in Internet infamy was secured as soon as the insufferable man-child was tweeted out by Organizing for America.
He is the face of a web ad that is the latest effort by the Obama team to leverage the holidays for conversation about Obamacare. Wear pajamas, the ad reads. Drink hot chocolate. Talk about getting health insurance. #GetTalking.
And, sure enough, Pajama Boy is wearing pajamasa zip-up onesie in classic Lamar Alexander plaidand drinking hot chocolate. He is in his twenties, sporting hipster glasses he could have bought at Warby Parker and an expression of self-satisfied ironic amusement.
Pajama Boy is about as threatening as Michael Cera and so nerdy he could guest-host on an unwatched MSNBC show. He is probably reading The Bell Jar and looking forward to a hearty Christmas meal of stuffed tofurkey. If he has anything to say about it, Obamacare enrollments will spike in the next few weeks in Williamsburg and Ann Arbor.
Perhaps the goal of OFA was to create a readily mockable image to draw attention to its message, in which case Pajama Boy was a brilliantly successful troll. The right immediately Photoshopped him into the Mandela funeral selfie and emblazoned his photo with derisive lines like, Hey girl, I live with my parents, and, How did you know I went to Oberlin?
But its hard not to see Pajama Boy as an expression of the Obama vision, just like his forbear Julia, the Internet cartoon from the 2012 campaign. Pajama Boy is Julias little brother. She progressed through life without any significant family or community connections. He is the picture of perpetual adolescence. Neither is a symbol of self-reliant, responsible adulthood.

I wonder if he ever had “cookies and warm milk” with Mikey Jackson. You know. “Sweet”.

Contempt is a good word, and I feel that as well. It is not necessarily the punk himself that is enraging. Well, the look on his face makes my hands ball into fists, but that's a reflex action.
I think I am angered more by the idea that this is how our central planners view Americans: smarmy, metro toddlers who need a binky, hot chocolate, and a piece of crap health plan.

A new poll came out this week that says people in Louisiana support “gay rights” by a 93 percent margin. There are a lot of liberals in the closet too; they don’t all march in the streets.
