    So I am watching TV and sanwiched between the debut commercial of the new Chevy Leaf and a overnight cash advance offer was an ad for this little gem:

    Happy Pose Barack Obama Chia Pet Head

    The ad on TV was for a set of 4 Presidents : Washington, Lincoln, Obama and one of the lesser Presidents. I was shocked.

    Youtube even pulled it.

    This begat that and I have since begun to wonder what other items of capitalist excess are out there based on idolotry and or ridicule with the intent to either malign or worship the most powerful office in the free world.

    This is bordering on the danger zone, so to continue it, look in the Stump.

    Those aren't products, that's satire. I am talking about actual products emblazoned with the likeness of the of the President; while they were in office.
    I know during the Depression and WW2 lots of folks had pictures of FDR and even before that it wasn't un common to have Presidential portraits in your home.

    I was going to buy my wife a Chia Grarfield last Christmas since she loves that cat. But then I realized that I would be buying her a Chia pet for Christmas. That just doesn't seem right. Also, they are kind of pricy for a dumb plant, aren't they?

    Sorry Brad, got caught up in the moment. But I was sure the Clinton cover was a viable product. How about this?

    Again satire....I am looking for stuff you can actually buy and posess, objects, things that are actually produced. Not necessarily inauguarl stuff either.

    The danger zone? I didn't realize these things could be dangerous...I hope everyone has had training, I'd hate for OSHA to come shut this joint down.
