If the U.S. had a gift shop: America the Gift Shop. (Check out the website)

America the Gift Shop is an installation project that reflects the current foreign polity in the fun-house mirror of American commerce... We buy souvenirs at the end of a trip, to remind ourselves of the experience. What do we have to remind us of the events of the last eight years?

Here's a cute little snow globe that shows Cheney shredding the evidence.

Sad, but true.

8. Boomerangs. If America continues to be selfish instead of a leader - if it remains
greedy instead of open to new ideas..... it is going to keep hurting itself (while making victims out of parts of the rest of the world).
