This blog is mainly about the spectacular train wreck at The Sacramento Bee and its parent company, the McClatchy Company. But I also post about current events, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, politics, anything else that grabs my attention. Take a look around this blog, hope you enjoy it.
Maybe I just don't remember -- did newspapers sell stuff like this after Bush won in 2000 and 2004? Obama victory photos, mugs, mouse pads, t-shirts. Plus tote bags and aprons. (Photo via Newseum) . Hat tip: comments. .

The Lexington Herald-Leader is doing the exact same thing.
Hey, why not? Revenue is good. Regardless of your politics this was an historic election. Bush's elections in '00 and '04 didn't trigger massive single copy sales either. Besides, if you are still smarting because McCain lost you can take solace in rolling your mouse over the president-elect.
The Star-Telegram is too. To be fair, though, Bush's election doesn't have nearly the historical significance as Obama's - whether you agree with the decision or not.
Yep, thats right. First Marxist President. Personally, I am betting on the historical significance of the way he leaves office. I won't buy anything from McClatchy though. They won't be in business.

11:41 Get over it. Don't collect you pay check either.
sour grapes is so unseemly
I'll buy a front page of my paper on Jan 21 that shows George Bush getting on a plane for Texas....now that's something worth collecting!
