Wonkette
NO-SHOWS: After we saw the Wax Demon of Barack Obama at the ghetto Safeway, we figured he’d show up anywhere! Alas, Madame Tussauds’ homunculus of our new president kindly RSVP’s that he’s already booked tonight and won’t be at Wonkette’s Inaugural Ball. So if you want a picture with the Wax Demon Obama, you must get the “presidential package” at the D.C. Museum of Wax, for $50, which also includes a horrifying “Inaugural Wax Hand.” [Madame Tussauds DC]
Wax hand for the Bible, real muslin hand for the Koran.
Will the Inaugural Wax Hand have a firm grip on the presidential package?
HehHeh, Ken said “Presidential Package”..heh…
Why is Joe Biden’s package $3 more than Harry Reid’s?
I could wax rhapsodic at this point, but that would be redundant.
wax on, wax off?
HMS Nerd: Win!
When I was a kid, I visited Oxon Hill Manor (suburbs of DC, just south of town in MD) when it was still owned privately (now a part of the Md National Capital Parks and Planning Commission network of parks). The gentleman who owned the manor house was a wee bit of a collector and had some money (imported carpets, among other things I guess). In one of the rooms, I think it was a large (but filled) dining room, he had a Lincoln death mask complete with casts of Lincoln’s hands. This was one of just a few plaster casts of Lincoln’s face and hands taken shortly after his death. Who the heck has a Lincoln death mask just sitting in a glass case in the dining room? The stuff in that house was unbelieveable.
Awesome house and beautiful view of the Potomac.

Hey Ken, I think Alberto Gonzales is free tonight if you’re looking to hire a cheap prop.
And how much for a inaugural wax handjob?
Definitely not doing this. I am just trying to plan how I will get home after the swearing in-perhpass I will stop and drink in many places I pass as I walk and walk (and hope they have a real toilet- I am not using those portpotties!)towards home.
He is clearly measuring the drapes.
Look what’s in my email!

It’s science, we never laugh.
IslandGirlFL: …long strokes.
Wax museums are SUPER FUN, if your the wax.
Are you 100% sure that was a wax Barry at the Safeway? He may have been doing volunteer work handing out food samples.
The “America” store at Pentagon City where you buy… states? They have frightening cardboard Obama’s (and Hillary’s).
BitterPolitico: Thank you! The Union Station store has some, we are on the way.
The Google news reports that methane is a sign of life on Mars. Mars? Shee-it, there’s signs of life in my pants.
This has eff-all to do with Hopey Wax but we’re all just a Bon Jovi song away from worrying about methane, y’know.
Haven’t you heard? Referring to the relative ghetto-ness of DC Safeways makes you a RACISTS! Was that statue of Barry really wax? Or TAR AND FEATHERS? Yeah. Also.
Tommy Says Ira G is a Tool: Whoa-oh, we’re halfway there. Whoa-oh. Living on a CH4.
shortsshortsshorts: Or if you have a FLAMETHROWER.
Speaking of No-Shows, WHERE ARE THE POSTS? I’m still at work for another few hours and I need MOAR DISTRAKSHUNS!!1!
NoWireHangers: I’m running out of internet. Seriously. I hate this.
PST, people. I haven’t even taken lunch yet.
NoWireHangers: we’re waiting for Jim Newell to wake up, i think.
tunamelt: I think I’m going to going to have to forage in the work kitchen. No posts is making me eat out of boredom! And that SXSW thing doesn’t count. Where is the ginger? Make him feed us postsssssssssssssssss.
NoWireHangers: I think he is probably out buying cardboard Obamas for elitist Wonkette party guests to fondle if Ken’s comment is any indication.
Lucky me, I have had the experience of flying into and out of National, Dulles, AND BWI in the past 6 weeks, and all had massive amounts of Hopey cardboard cutouts in a whole array of stores.
The best, though, was the store in LaGuardia, where I had too long a time gap between flights, so wandered into one of those stupid, overpriced tchochke stores, and it had a stack of McCain and Palin shirts labeled with a huge sign with red text: “SUPER CLEARANCE: 90% OFF!!!!” I almost felt sorry for WALNUTS! But I didn’t.
@ifthethunderdontgetya - Hey, the boot camp idea is still alive! I don’t understand why it keeps going DOWN in votes though

Doglessliberal: Sweet! Like what $1 a shirt? I’m gonna get me some of those hobo shirts next week.
Bruno: Oh, using simple math (not available in Wasilla) that implies Boot Camps is your only vote at this point!
