With Chia Obama off shelf, so goes Hopium....("Happy" head with trillions of your dollars)
Chicago Tribune ^ | April 9, 2009 | John Kass

As you must know by now, the great President Obama Chia Pet scandal is national news.

In a spasm of politically correct panic, Chicago-area based Walgreens stores pulled the fake terra cotta heads from shelves rather than commit corporate sacrilege.

Some insist the Chia Obama is racist. Others say it's downright disrespectful to plant seeds on the messianic president's iconic dome.

"People could interpret it through a political viewpoint or other viewpoints, and we want to avoid that situation," a Walgreens spokeswoman said via e-mail. "Hope this helps clear up our decision. If you have any more questions, please let me know!"

I will!

It pained me deeply, because I really, really wanted a tasteful Obama head for my desk. It was soothing to think of Obama's clay cranium just a few feet away, watching while I typed my columns.

I dreamed of watering him gently, patiently waiting for him to sprout a lush green 'fro'.

Then I'd clip his presidential shrubbery with scissors, dry it and roll it.

Then smoke it.

At long last, I thought I'd found a renewable source of primo Hopium, the stuff that Washington pundits use to make themselves feel all right with Barack.

Actually, there are two Chia Obamas to choose from. The "Happy" head depicts Obama with an impish grin, the one he uses while shoveling trillions of your dollars into his federal wheelbarrow.

The "Determined" Chia Obama is of resolute mien, jaw forward, no nonsense, like when he told North Korea not to dare shoot off that missile.

wonder if these things are available on the internet or ebay.
If so, better buy them up before they are outlawed shortly.
Will become a collector’s item.

But GW toilet cakes or Jesus toilet paper is perfectly fine. It’s “art” doncha know.

Liberals are demented beyond all reason. They worship evil of any kind, tyrants, terrorists, murderers, sexual deviants, thugs, etc.

They hate with a fanatic unreasonable hate all things good.
