dumb Obama-phernalia
You gotta be $#@%-ting me!!!
Feb 7th
Come the hell on.
I mean, I know it’s my fault for being up watching TV at 5 a.m. but really, come the hell on. Watching CNN to keep up with what’s going on with the stimulus package vote–and this damn commercial comes on. I HAD to go to the site…
Barack-in-the-box... This is just too far.
I am now adding this to the list of things I’d like to UNsee… I refuse to post on the Barack sex toy someone sent me a link to. That is just plain disrespectful.
Exhale.
Dig it up
Feb 2nd
I know we buried the “N” word last year.
But it’s time to dig it up. Because there’s no other word fit to describe the people behind this container of ‘BlackQuick‘. No matter what race the person was, that would still be the most appropriate word.
I hate EVERYTHING about this
Is it possible to UN-see something you’ve already seen?
Damn you, ‘English’ and whoever gave you the materials for your art project.
Nooooo… not the babies!

Po babies.
Here we go… The people at Ty, Inc. that started the whole Beanie Baby craze have created two new dolls called “Sweet Sasha” and “Marvelous Malia.”
The dolls aren't even cute...
According to a Ty, Inc. spokesperson, they chose the dolls’ names because “they are beautiful names,” not because of any resemblance to President Obama’s daughters.
Yeah right.
I’m pretty sure that people dumb enough to believe that aren’t legally allowed to own dolls. (I’m not sure what that means, but I’m not deleting it.) You just picked those names out of the sky, huh? Gimme a flipping break.
Plus, the dolls don’t look like them and they’re not even cute. Damn profiteers. Leave those beautiful little girls alone!
I hope they sue the crap out of them.
Johnny Walker ‘Blue’ my mind
Jan 15th
I’ve been a little backlogged with some of the Obama foolishness posts, so there may be a few coming back to back. And thanks you guys for sending this stuff in! OK…Â so let’s start at the end. And by ‘the end’ I mean the ‘end of humanity.’
There is a wine shop in DC that is selling “Obama-Engraved Johnny Walker Blue Label’ bottles.
So YES…
If you’ve been looking for a way to commemorate this historic occasion with a $180 fifth of scotch, here’s your [Dear God I hope it's the only] chance.
Jesus, please be a liquor store fire.
We’re guessing Johnny Walker Blue Label because… blue… Democrats… But whatever the rationale, this is pure foolishness.
Et tu, B & J?

So… if you hadn’t heard already… for the month of January Ben & Jerry’s has changed the name of their famous Butter Pecan ice cream to … wait for it… “Yes Pecan.” I can’t be mad because the proceeds are at least going to a good cause that actually has something to do with politics and Barack Obama … But really.
Really?
Thanks Jenny for sending this on!
Yes I would — if I could afford it…
Jan 6th
OK so here’s the thing… A friend sent me this Obama newspaper clutch by Armando Javier for the dumb Obama-phernalia section of the blog. And while half my brain sees why she sent it to me and understands why I should be as dismissive of it as I’ve been with all the other Obama-phernalia, there’s a part of me that wants to cop this bag.
Sorry.
I mean, I AM the girl who bought a purse made from a Bible:
It goes against everything I thought I stood for… and I’m poor so I couldn’t buy it anyway… But I enjoy an interesting conversation piece when it comes to a bag, so shoot me…Â I’d probably never carry it though — if that helps to redeem myself at all in your eyes.
I’m just being honest.
Let’s drink to CHANGE!
Dec 6th
So, in the interest of keeping the party going, one of my girlfriends forwarded me this post from Bossip.com. A French businessman has created an energy drink and named it after… yeah of course — Barack Obama. This actually doesn’t quite belong under the “dumb Obama-phernalia” category because much of the proceeds will go to support an educational charity based in one of the troubled Paris suburbs. I’m just not convinced there will be any proceeds. The ‘creator’ of the drink says he’s been handing out cans to young people living in the area hoping that Obama’s success will serve as an inspiration to them. He plans to auction off Obama Soda in January.
BUT.
He didn’t really create a soda. After digging around a bit, I found that all he did was create a tag and stick it to a can of pre-existing energy drink. And he plans to auction off the cans to raise money for the charity. Watch the video here.
Maybe it doesn’t belong under stop the bull, but I do think this venture belongs in the “screw effort” category. Am I misunderstanding what’s going on here?… Despite the fact that it sounds illegal, why would someone pay money for that anyway? They could just donate to the charity. Dude, EJ loves the kids, but if I want to support an educational charity I’m not gonna go to an auction to bid on a Red Bull in sheep’s clothing. I’m writing a check.
Huh? Yeah, me neither…
Oh bama
