Obama Designer Handbag

Quote:

A powerful image, a powerful message...."carry a conversation" of hope and change. The Obama handbag made by FlashBag is the perfect head turning blend of fashion sense meets common sense. No handbag collection is complete this Fall without the Obama handbag.

Flashbags are wearable art handbags and accessories. They are handmade by women in Burlington, Vermont. Durable Flashbags are made from laminated images strengthened by a sandwich of eight sheets of recycled newsprint. Images cover every panel of the bag inside and out and each panel is embroidered with colorful swoops and swirls that complement the composition of each image.

So what's the problem?...

This item is being sold by (drumroll please)...

The Boston Globe!!!...

Anyone wanna look around for any McCain items?...(Hint: don't bother)...

Geez!!! I guess the Boston Globe is embracing Obama.

If anyone wants to look for McCain items, maybe they should look in Arizona. Or maybe one of the Arizona newspaper might sell McCain trinkets.

Heck, I'll be there later this month. Maybe the Goldwater's stores might have them in the Phoenix area.

In addition to providing over 200 student volunteers, the University has found a way to support the Vice Presidency in a tasty way: campus dinning services are selling stylized cookies representing the Democratic and Republican tickets with donkeys and elephants, respectively.

Although the cookie purchases accurately predicted the outcome of the election in 2004, some have been ambivalent about the relevance of the sales:

"There's been a big jump in donkey cookies, especially the last two days," Lisa Green, a supervisor in one dinning location, told Student Life Newspaper. When asked by a reporter if the cookies held any taste advantage, she tested the two and shrugged. "They taste the same to me."

They both taste like big government...
