US Election Memorabilia

I'm on a visual rhetoric kick this week, but the BBC's post of "In Pictures: US Election Memorabilia" is just too awesome to not post.

Wait until you see Palin's head photo-shopped into the classic "We Can Do It" Rosie the Riveter image....ummm....I'm getting more and more annoyed with the fallacious reasoning that just because she is a woman ergo she is a feminist. Sigh.
