The Virtual World

Poetry, the imagination, and the creative life.

Wednesday, October 22, 2008

The Republican National Convention has funneled around $150,000 to Sarah Palin in order to keep her and her family outfitted in clothes and accessories from "elitist" shops like Saks (where they spent $49,425.74) and Neiman Marcus (where they spent a whopping $75,026.63 -- in one visit!). Because that's where all of the "real Americans" shop, you betcha!

This is really funny. And interactive! Just point and click on the different objects inside Palin's Oval Office. Just be careful with the red telephone. hehehehe
