Obama campaign American flag with Barack's logo replacing the stars

From the land of You've-Got-To-Be-Fucking-Kidding-Me???

What would you say if I told you that the Obama campaign took the US flag and replaced the stars with the Obama logo?
You'd think I was full of shit, and that I made it up.  Right?
Because only a cult would do something that dumb.

Well guess what?  Its a fucking cult.  Here's a screen grab:

Honestly... if I was at a meeting of Republicans and you told me that this had happened , I'd tell you to go check on Snopes, because you'd been had.
If I hadn't taken a look at it myself, I would have never believed it.
Remember when this happened, and they told us that it wasn't really authorized by the campaign?

Its a cult.
Say it with me:
Its a cult.

$18 Million to redesign a website?

My first website was pretty lame. So I took a week and redesigned it.
Now granted, I don't have to integrate searchable databases, create pie charts, or do java scripting. But here is the good news: you can hire a team of people to do that for a few months, and it might even cost you a couple hundred thousand dollars or so.

OR

If you're the government, you can run up a bill of 18 MILLION DOLLARS to do the very same thing.

It's really embarrassing to me that we spend this kind of stupid money every day, and that people do not march on Washington to complain about it.
