Sadly I was not able to immerse myself in any meaningful schwag hunting today, but fortunately you did not have this problem… Good submissions, folks!
With housing prices in the toilet, record layoffs, and rapture imminent, it’s good to see that investors are pulling out of risky hedge funds and ponzi schemes and pouring every dolar they can squeeze out of this God-forsaken credit market whee it’s sure to turn a profit: manufacturing the most random shit possible with Barack Obama’s face on it.
Not to belabor, today’s “schwag of the day” is the ChocObama bar. It comes from an alleged company called the Artfully Chocolate Kingsbury Confections, but they like to be called AKCK (ACK(!)) because I guess there aren’t enough acronyms in DC. They have free wireless it looks like. Appealing.
Hat tip to Brianne.


As our friend Amy put it (and I paraphrase liberally here), “It’s kinda almost racist.”
We then proceeded to wonder if there were mixed white and dark chocolate bars to more accurately reflect the subject at hand.
Mmmm…chocolate…
Hope things are well, Matt!
