These spectacular Cold War unicorn toys remind us that absurdity in politics is nothing new - remember when we were all threatening to blow each other up last century? Good thing we can all look back at that and laugh, right?
Anyway, these two battle-ready horned ponies, “Commie” and “Freedom,” await your government directives. Just don’t [...]

Where would political novelty products be without George W. Bush? These crooked custom playing cards (”now even more slanted to the right!”) are crammed with fun facts about the US federal government under Bush, which are still pretty relevant considering how little has actually changed under Obama (what was that campaign slogan again?).

If you can’t laugh at our country’s obscenely large budget deficits, what can you laugh at? This tin box piggy-bank is here to help make the national debt funny again, because all those zeros can’t menace us forever.

This Democratic donkey wine holder hails from the political gifts section of Metal Imagination, which also offers wine holders shaped like the Republican elephant. For the nonpartisan patriotic crowd, there are wine holders in the shape of an American soldier and the Statue of Liberty.
