Hail to the ch… ch… ch… cheif?

You can now display your personal pride and celebrate this country’s 44th president by buying and growing a “Special Edition Chia Obama”.
Actually, there are two Chia Obamas you can choose from – the Happy Obama (with the smiling face) and the Determined Obama (with a very presidential look on his face).
The late night TV commercial nearly knocked me out of my chair:
Either Chia Obama will set you back $19.99 each. They’re available for pre-orders now on Amazon.com and Drugstore.com. They come with a “drip tray” and enough seeds for three harvests. Full growth is achieved within one to two weeks. Additional seed packs cost $4.99. They promise that you can continue to use your Chia Obama head indefinitely.
There isn’t much left to say about these historic, patriotic products except to repeat the official tag line being used in all the advertisements: “Can you grow one? YES YOU CAN!”
