News Obama merch — order now!

OK, so now the Obama for America folks have a snazzy new, four-year calendar featuring – guess who? – on the cover. It's being offered at the special, low-low price of $35, so order today!
I guess every campaign sells candidate-related T-shirts, buttons and other trinkets in order to raise money. But in this case, the election's already won, so it seems a bit odd that they're still at it.
Oh well, I suppose it's better than letting Cafe Press and the Franklin Mint make all the moolah off our new president.
Which reminds me – have you seen the ridiculous TV commercial for the "Historic Victory Plate™" that shows a bunch of old white people sitting around a dinner table toasting the election of our nation's first African American president? Yeah, I'll bet that's exactly the demographic that will shell out 20 bucks to hang a cheesy plate with Obama's picture on it over their mantle.
If you need a laugh, here's the video of the TV ad.
