The inauguration of Barack Obama as President of the United States is indeed a historic event but, can you believe some of the stuff out there? There is no shortage of Barack Obama Presidential inauguration products on the market. Some are standard souvenirs while others are just plain wacky.

Really? An Action Figure we can believe in? Good Grief. Well, I guess it's ok, since George W. Bush had an action figure in his image, and so did other recent presidents. But Obama is the first to be honored so soon with a special edition one.

THE USGA WOULD LIKE TO INFORM ALL GOLFERS
There is a possibility of MAJOR rule changes to the game of golf, this may occur sometime after January 20, 2009.
This is only a preview as the complete rulebook is being written now. Here are a couple of basic changes.
Golfers with handicaps:
- below 10 will have their green fees increased by 35%
- between 11 and 18 will see no increase in green fees
- above 18 will play for free and even get a check from the club/course played
The $ amount put in for bets will be as follows:
-for handicaps below 10 an additional $10
-between 11 and 18 no additional amount
-above 18 you will receive the total amount in the pot and you do not even have to play.
The term "gimme" putt will be changed to "entitlement" and will be used as follows:
-handicaps below 10, no entitlements
-handicaps above 11 to 17, entitlements for putter length putts
-handicaps above 18, if on green, no need to ever putt, just pick it up
These entitlements are intended to bring about fairness in scoring so that the final scores of all players will be about the same.
In addition, a Player will be limited to a max of one birdie and/or six pars, any excess must be given to those fellow players who have not yet scored a birdie or par. Only after all players have received a=2 0birdie or par from the player making the birdie or par, can that Player begin to count his score again.
The current USGA handicap system will be used for the above purposes but the term 'net score' will be available only for scoring those players with handicaps 18 and above. This is intended to 'redistribute' the success of winning by making sure that in every competition the above 18 handicap players will post only 'net score' against every other player's gross score.
These new Rules are intended to CHANGE the game of golf. Golf must be about Fairness Only. It should have nothing to do with Ability.
OOPS!
!!!!!
Fake. I mean the guy in the shirt, not the photo.
I have one of these only it has Dale Earnhardt’s picture on it.
Since animal comparisons to Obama are out, perhaps google needs to have a lot of these matched up with the new President.
You’re not silly at all, in fact maybe someday those “trinkets” might be worth something. Maybe, after all, there are a lot of idiots out there who think Obama is worth something.
Can I say "He's one or two braincells away from being studied by Jane Goodall"?
A major network is planning a new “survivor” show.
In response, the State of Texas is planning: “Survivor, Texas Style”.
The contestants will start in El Paso, travel I-20 through Pecos, Odessa, Midland, Big Spring, Abilene, Ft.Worth & Dallas. They will then proceed down to Waco, Austin, on to San Antonio, up I-10 to Kerrville, Sonora, up to San Angelo, up to Lamesa, Lubbock, to Amarillo over to Hereford and back to El Paso.
Each will be driving a pink Volvo, with a bumper sticker that reads:
“I’m gay, I voted for Barak Obama and I’m here to confiscate your guns.”
The first one to make it back to El Paso wins.
