Victory Plate

I suppose one should not be surprised in our materialistic society when just days after the election some tacky company wants to produce and sell a "limited edition" Victory plate to celebrate the president elect. It never ceases to amaze me that such tackiness offends me in my increasingly conservative old age! I collected stamps in the days of my youth. I don't even remember what happened to them. I remember people who collected souvenir plates and had them on their walls. I remember someone who collected beer steins. But please, a souvenir plate of Barack Obama just days after the election is just too tacky. But only $20 a pop for a limited edition fine porcelein with solid gold edging is just too good an offer to pass up. I hope he is more classy in his presidency than these dweebs that would seek to capitalize - oh, a pun - on his election. Give me a break!
