I just found this header that I had created a while ago (January or February?) for an essay of sorts that I was writing about the use of President (Elect, then) Barack Obama’s good will at the time to sell complete shit. And when I say complete shit, I am referring to the Obama Victory Plate, Obama 50¢ Coin (for the cool price of $9.95, not legal tender), and the tables full of Obama stickers, posters, t-shirts, pins, postcards and various other chotchkies I would see all over Union Square. Basically the type of stuff that should have been either manufactured directly in a landfill or come packaged already in a dumpster to just completely remove the middle man.
When I found this image, it made me laugh at the absurdity of it. I thought that I would share it here because I am most likely not going to post my finished essay because it is no longer topical.
