"If reëlected, I will change the colors of the flag."
Well, come on. You haven't redecorated for 200 years, it starts to fade a bit.
I am offering 15 to 1 that some wazzock uses that tank top to claim that Obama wants to make everybody speak Spanish.
I never knew such things existed! Am sitting here gawping at them all.
But you do know about the "communist" typeface, yes? (And the best Obama campaign response of all time: ""Your GOP operative should have had the courtesy to stay sober before noon, and BuzzFeed should go back to labeling cat slideshows.")
"Betting on America" has a melody similar to "Barack Obama".
You put that diaeresis in there just to annoy us, didn't you?
And it kind of looks like Michigan.
It looks like Wisconsin gets its hat the Upper Peninsula* and votes Democratic while the remaining portion of Michigan goes Republican.
*In the great state re-jiggering of September 2012--the most unexpected political event in US history.
My first thought was that it looked like an elephant's butt!
Remember kids, you can't spell amoeba without Obama.
Wow, under Ann's Collection, there's a bumper sticker that says "Moms drive the economy."
That's right. Most important job in the world is ferrying the kids around in your SUV.
9: I just noticed the same thing. I'm confused by their mixed messages of needing to create jobs (oh no! Tax cuts for the wealthy!!) and driving around one's children helps the economy.
I had not known until talking to Mara's mom yesterday about Obama phones, which sound like they'd be campaign gear but aren't. Also not that great at maintaining a connection, if hers is any indication.
An obamaphone should really be a musical instrument.
I'll never cease to be amused by American politicians' complete lack of shame in pulling the "It's an eagle, it's a flag, it's a candidate! I am America!" move.
The diaeresis is the tell that he's not a real American.
Wasn't the obamaphone the thing in Get Smart?
An obamaphone is someone who sounds like a candidate you like during the campaign but not when he is in office.
Romney's "vintage" is of what vintage, exactly? I was expecting something from the '40's or '50's, when America was saving the world from Nazis and communists, but the white t-shirt could have been worn on "Laugh-In."
I hope they don't have to run any write-in campaigns because Romnev will get a lot of votes.
Also maybe I'm being dense, but on the Mitt and George buttons, who the hell is George? Is it his dad? Is he supposed to be very recognizable, or is that why this is the vintage section where only old people will identify him? Maybe the weird vintage logo comes from George Romney's campaign and he was from Michigan?
in Soviet Russia, Romnev votes for you.
How is that an eagle? It kind of has a beak, but what's going on with the body? I would never have thought it was an eagle if not for the description.
Aren't there any talented artists that support Romney? The Cafe Press Ron Paul store is awesome. Conversely, the Cafe Press Mitt Romney store is just as bad as the vintage one. See, e.g., this atrocity.

It's a throwback to his dad's campaign in '68. There was an email from Tagg Romney explaining all of this, which you probably didn't see because you weren't foolish enough to sign up a while back for email updates from all the GOP candidates.
Dear #14,
Thanks ever so much for getting that song stuck in my head.
No love,
Me
Piecing back together some bastardized thing with random red stripes and couple of stars? That doesn't even look like anything remotely recognizable.
Clearly that's why George lost in '68, Russianizing your name wasn't a smart strategy at that point in history.
Although I will say that the original Romney pin on ebay looks like it can double as an assassin's tool. They don't make pins like they used to.

My head would actually, literally, not metaphorically, for real explode.
Has anyone looked at the Romney Believe poster? Are we supposed to believe in a Red America?
Somewhat disappointed that there's no Romney yoga pants.
Nevermind, there's a blue Believe poster as well, it just wasn't as well advertised. Too bad, was really hoping that Romney was a long game Manchurian Candidate.

"This next position is called Downward-Mobility Dog."
This'll win them over in the red states.
34: Wow is that hideous. I like the Thakoon scarf, but not $95 much.
How is that an eagle? It kind of has a beak, but what's going on with the body? I would never have thought it was an eagle if not for the description.
The starry bit is pretty clearly the neck and beak of a bald eagle. The "collar" where the white feathers would meet the brown feathers is a dead giveaway. Given that, the red bits on the right are clearly supposed to be a wing. It looks stupid, but it looks like a stupid eagle.
I actually like this one, perhaps in part because it does a terrible job being about a presidential candidate. Too bad about the polyester thing.
13: Oh come on. There are other lifeline phone programs. Safelink is crap. Assurance Wireless which is part of Virgin Mobile has been not terrible in my experience.
39: It's not that the idea of lifeline phones were new to me, just that I found the name amusing. Sorry.
26, 38: What song? Sincerely, me.
I'm going to guess Beethoven's Fifth, as interpreted by Homer Simpson.
41: I'm pretty sure they mean Raffi, though it's not from an album we play in our household. Maybe I'm wrong and it'll be something else!
42: That was my best guess as well, actually.
This is awesome (though slightly confusing because it's missing a comma). There's no way Romney's running mate is going to be able to compete with Joe.
One hates to encourage Stanley too much, but 33 is good.
Yeah, banana phone. Which my kids found on the internet and showed me.
My second guess was Mah Nà Mah Nà.
Well played on the diacritical marks there.
It is probably time to admit that the muppet who sings Mah Na Mah Na is my mental image of nosflow.
