For the liberal on your gift list

I'm not a hot beverage drinker (I hate coffee), but if I was, these are two gifts that I'd absolutely want. These are from a Web site called Uncommon Goods...

Check out this global warming mug - it would make a great gift for the environmentally conscious liberal on your shopping list, or a great gag gift for the Ann Coulter or Sean Hannity in your family (and my sympathies if you have to endure that crap every holiday season). The item description:

Sure to be a topical topic of conversation, this mug shows off the adverse effects of that annoying global warming. Just pour in a hot cup of coffee, and the ocean starts to spread across the continent as ice caps melt and water levels rise. A pleasant reminder to take care of the planet and knock down your carbon dioxide emission.

Pretty cool - not even Splenda could make this mug a sweeter green gift.

However, I like this one even better - a disappearing civil liberties mug. No president in history has made 'em disappear like our national embarrassment, President Bush. So, show your frustration with this mug. The item description:

Drink your decaf in this dazzling mug - and watch your civil liberties disappear and reappear! Simply pour in your coffee or any hot beverage and watch the painstaking work of the founding fathers vanish before your eyes and then reappear after drinking up or cooling down. A great way to amaze and entertain a guest with satire.

Good stuff - I'll bring you more cool political items as I run across them, and I'm looking!
