For $30 You Can Own This Ugly (But Commemorative) T-Shirt

This just in from the Obama campaign’s fortieth email of the day (Seriously, you won. Stop emailing me.):

The Democratic National Committee poured all of their resources into building our successful 50-state field program. Their efforts over the last four years have opened up new battleground states where Democratic nominees haven’t been competitive for a generation. We couldn’t have won this election without their support, but they’ve taken on considerable debt to make it happen. Make a donation of $30 or more now to help the DNC recover the resources it took to win, and we’ll send you a 2008 Victory T-shirt.

It’s not that I wouldn’t donate to Obama post-win. But Americans are being hit with this pesky economic crisis. A $30 T-shirt? Please. Do you know how many packages of Ramen noodles I could buy for that?

(Answer: 100 packages!)
