Just … Interesting. You Know?
For just $7,500 this magnificent bling can be yours.
President Barack Obama's inaugural team is opening an online and brick-and-mortar store to sell souvenirs including a commemorative poster by famed artist Chuck Close.
The Presidential Inaugural Committee launched the online store Thursday. A retail store a few blocks from the White House was scheduled to open Jan. 11. The goods, ranging from $2.50 rulers to $30 champagne flutes to a $7,500 medallion set, also will be sold at some Washington hotels around the Jan. 21 inauguration.

The Soviets made better medals. Obama looks like a zombie, and Biden looks more like FDR than himself. The silver looks like lead, and the bronze looks like it had the Michael Jackson lightening treatment and wound up a sickly yellow-gray. The overall design is pedestrian, certainly nothing special. Quite apart from who’s on them, I wouldn’t even begin to consider shelling out $7500 for these things even if money was no object. Of course, I’m not the target audience—that would be the celebrity crowd and assorted limousine liberals. I wouldn’t be surprised if our own Cretina, whom I expect is breathlessly planning her wardrobe and overall presentation for the Inaugural events, bought a set (or more).
To be fair, Bush/Cheney also had a Lenin/Stalin-like medallion:

The basic design far predates Lenin and Stalin. It's probably as old as the ancient Romans.
I found this online:

It's an 1894 medal for Nicholas and Alexandra, the last Romanovs.
Doesn't that mean Nicholas was a closet communist/muslim?
Uh, no. Trust me.
