As commenter Percepied pointed out, the Washington post is selling $10 classified ads for readers to post an inaugural message for Obama.
The catch being that “All ads must be congratulatory in nature.”
I like the idea, but I don’t like that they reserve the right to reject my ad if it’s deemed insufficiently obsequious.
My local paper, on the other hand, charges 10 cents a word, and I can say whatever I want. However, I can’t decide whether to spend a dollar, a dime, or something in between. Kinda depends on what I find in the sofa cushions.
As you can see, though, I’m ready for anything:
* Big list of promises now meets reality’s cold brass knuckles.
* First black president? Well, at least you’re half historic.
* Exclusively wind and solar? Worked great for Icarus.
* Hope, change, economic ruin – Obama hat trick!
* Car Czar? No. Liberty Czar? Please.
* You won. Now respect flag.
* Coming soon: Palin 2012.
* Congratulations, President Bailout.
* Iran’s laughing.
* Barackalypse!
Your turn. 10 words or less. “Congratulate” Obama.
” I’m sure you’ll support change in 2012, amirite? ”
~or~
” Last person to trust the Clintons: Vince Foster ”
~or finally~
” Ron Paul Ron Paul Ron Paul Ron Paul Ron Paul “
My, what big ear(mark)s you have!
Nice to see what $650 million can buy.
For Sale: Senate seat, barely used. $1 million OBO.
This cost me $10. Maybe I DON’T need my money.
I can has bailout too?
* Bail, people, BAIL.
* Bringing back White house butt kits for The One.
* “Hyperinflation” coming to a
theatertown near you.* Buddy, can you spare a
dimequarterdollarC-note$1K$10K$10E7 for a forty-niner?* America, it’s time meet your chickens.
* Free bread and circuses for everyone!
* Oh no! The teleprompter broke! What do I do now?!
Dear Mr. President-Elect,
* I’m sure you will do as well as Jimmy Carter.
* Thanks for letting us trade our Hope for your Change.
Beware cabinet members bearing buckets.
“Congratulations, President Bailout.”
Is that for Bush?
Congrats Obama. Now we’re really hoping for a change.
Well, at least you weren’t born in Braunau-am-Inn.

“You will be surrounded by white interns!”
or
“Numbers of dead solders will be less… than number of aborted babies”
(12 words, but I needed to get that point across)
or
“I HOPE I will have CHANGE (left in my pockets)”
or
“Please tell me what he plans to change us TO?”
(I think we know, he just won’t SAY it.)
or
“All Hail King Hussein the Second”
or
“Obama, your name will NOT be ‘Added to dictionary’ ”
or
“You wouldn’t have beat Condi”
or
“You made it just in time to take full credit for the good half of the cycle of natural economic self correction that happens every 50 or so years regardless of who is president!”
(too many words again?)
“I need furniture- where can I buy a comfy chair?”
or
“Don’t get cocky, you won because of race. A Simpson/Vic ticket would have won.”
I’m not even counting words any more- do I still get to play?
