So, what’s going to become of all that Obama memorabilia when the preshizzle fizzles in November?

Once again, Australia shows the way.
Australian officials wanted to get rid of some commemorative mugs that misspelled President Barack Obama's name. And boy, did they ever.

A Parliament House official told senators on Monday that 198 mugs were smashed and buried under wet concrete at a loading dock behind the building. Sen. John Faulkner called it a "mafia-style execution" for the mugs, which had an extra "r" printed in Obama's first name.
Well, ok, that’ll work for the ceramic stuff. But what about all those t-shirts? Here’s an idea.

On the t-shirts......one always needs rags around the house. Cleaning up spills. Wiping away greasing. Removing puke. Polishing firearms.

You know......useful. Certainly a notch up from their current use, a major waste of resources.

Hmm. Filler is a good use for the ceramic junk, but I wonder about the t-shirt/underwear idea. Does anyone really want to go around wearing Obama on their butt?

The Obama library will be a maze. The information's in there; good luck finding it.
