By now I am sure you've heard of all the inauguration t-shirts, mugs, hats, and commemorative plates that people are selling to try to make a quick buck off Obama and this historic occasion.  Normally I would be against this sort of thing but I am not this time because the products are so amazing and because it really is a democratization of content.  We have young artists all over the internet producing amazing Obama art without having to use big corporations to sell it, instead they are boot-strapping their operations and using free web services to get their art out there.  I'm all for that and I hope that art is promoted more in the coming Obama administration.  These next couple of days almost feel like a lead up to a new renaissance of ideas and nationhood. See below for one of the t-shirts I was talking about.

I know that the election is already over (Obama!), but I just found this video of this choir signing about the election and it is really worth posting.  Enjoy.

So Obama has decided not to take any campaign money and I think his followers cannot be happier.  This move really shows that he is a person that has faith, not in government, not in corporations, but in the people!  I really applaud this and I can say that many moves he has been making recently make me more and more comfortable with voting for him in the next election.  I just hope that he is able to carry the swing states like Hillary was…those are the largest worries for the democrats and I have seen nothing to prove that he can do this so far (I saw the straw polls, but those are totally bogus anyway)

This is what I am talking about, democrats together ready to kick some ass and start making some changes in this country!  This mug is a perfect rip on Men and Black II except using Hillary and Obama.  We are going to take out the aliens that have infected the white house!

I was reading the news on Yahoo this morning and saw that both McCain and Obama  are out campaigning today, using the holiday of Memorial Day to help further their political carries.  I for one am totally appalled at this, I mean it is Memorial Day!  I don't care if you campaign on Christmas, Thanksgiving, or my birthday but to campaign on a day that is supposed to honor those that have fallen in protection of this country is just awful.  They should be spending the day meeting with families of those that have lost children in the recent conflict and playing wreaths on the graves of our fallen heroes.

Don't get me wrong, I hate this war just as much as the next person, but today is not about that.  It is not political,  it is to honor those  that have protected the  freedoms that we cherish.  Forget the politics for one day and honor those that have served us.

To those that have served this country I commend and thank you.  To those that have died for this country, may you live forever in our hearts.
