A big, screaming O!
OK, this isn't for me, and as the female Salon writer said,
Still, I mean — an Obama commemorative dildo. That's magnificent. It's even better than that cop car bong.
God, I love my country, and I'm actually sorta serious for a change. Think about it: How do you suppose a Robert Mugabe dildo would go over in Zimbabwe, or a Queen Beatrix dildo in supposedly tolerant Holland? Not well, friends. Not well at all.

By the way: Adding an illustration to a post on this blog means hitting a button entitled "Insert image." Hmm. For the first time, I actually hesitated a little, but you can see that insertion was, in the end, successful.


Speaking of loving your (own) country, I went to a gig last Saturday:
http://www.timeoutsydney.com.au:80/music/gigreviews/all-tomorrows-parties--review.aspx
with 7000 Sydneysiders, on an island in the middle of Sydney Harbour all day. Lo & behold, Malcolm Turnball, Australian Opposition Leader & wife Lucy strolled through the crowd, not one bodyguard or cop in view. My drunken mate staggered up to him to get a picture with them. Kinda awesome, prior to US elections like John McCain wandering around sans security.

Nice post! Made me laugh and yeah, you're right. It was a good reminder to what to love about America now that I'm back on U.S. soil after 7 expat years.
