The day after last year's presidential election, I was scheduled to meet with one of my professors about an academic paper. Our mutual interests in politics led to a spirited discussion concerning the election results of the previous night.

Trudging the length of the frozen Mall from the Capitol to the Lincoln Memorial, a body could acquire a countless bounty of worthless, tacky Obama memorabilia.
