When we think of politics, the first thing that comes to mind is fashion. And thank goodness celebrity handbag designer Timmy Woods created a piece representing Barack Obama and his campaign for the presidency. Ready to be impressed? The bag is made from Acacia Wood and is based on signs used by the Obama camp. Ooookay.

Woods said Michelle Obama will be the first taker, whether she likes it or not: "I hope she will get it in time to wear to [next week's] convention."

You guys, we have to save Michelle Obama's eyes from being peed in. Does anyone know any UPS or FedEx couriers that can intercept this package and throw it off an overpass?

If it was actually afforadable… I would wear it. But I wore a whistle shaped like a bird to a friend's wedding… shut up, I was still the best-dressed there. It made my sweet-ass lace dress kinda fun. Everyone else was wearing Bebe. Ew.

No. 10 Sarah says:

This is very, very different from a bird-shaped whistle. That actually sounds very cute. But no, you would not wear this. I can't think that way of you… it would change everything.

I know you're kidding.

I actually love it. But I love you more. I would ditch it to hang out with you. And the bird-shaped whistle is like the size of my fist. NOBODY I have ever met likes it. But, it just makes me like it more….

I agree with Kelso. The first thing I thought about when I saw that purse was those red white and blue popsicles I used to get from the ice cream truck.

It's a canteen that would make The Messiah flinch with all the garnish proud USA decorations he deplores.. How sad for him to have to somehow endorse this cheap ol' bag.. not his wife, when he is SO ASHAMED OF AMERICA, all for not being rich and filled with goods, and all for killing babies and giving us over to the terrorists to censor, enslave, loot, pillage, plunder and destroy so all men are equally poor and destitute under the dictators.. yay, no freedom, yay revolutions.

No. 33 Sarah says:

See, Ilnaz, this is why it's so great that you're Canadian. In the states, we see tchotchkes like this all the time. Maybe I just don't appreciate it the way you do. Which I can only hope is an ironic way. Or figuratively.

Fart noises rule, and so do beads, and QC I think you should not think of those two things together.

QC you are making me think of those blotto college times talking like that. I kind of like it though. Just be sure to keep your voice down, I don't want the kids knowing their mommy used to be a slut.
Sarah good use of the word tchotchkes.

Are the children still awake? I'll keep my voice down.

We don't need to be getting into these harsh hassles:

"How do you think you got here?"

Or my personal favorite:

"Do as I say not as I did, but if you do like I think you are going to do, take these condoms with you"

I feel like keeping it mellow tonight.

Next week is the convention.

Get the babysitters lined up!

The babysitters just call their paramours just as soon as you drive away. And then they makeout in your living room. Hopefully they keep it in the living room.

No, I'm not. My husband is asleep.

Actually, I'd prefer that they do what they do in a place where the sheets can be changed. My living room is not so easy to clean up. Zippered cushions that require dry-cleaning, my cat's eyeballs needing to be - well, I guess there's nothing I can do about that.

I used to have a libido. I remember clearly that libido. Where did I put it?

It still may be around here somewhere….

On second thought, it may be in one of those boxes that I donated to the goodwill last year.

Oh!! LOOK AT THIS!! Here is my beer.

What was I looking for again?
