First to go is liberty

Then it will be the word United....

Via George at skippy the bush kangaroo, George at Silver and Gold Proof Coins:

The new $1 Presidential Coins has two firsts:

• First U.S. Coin with edge lettering.
• First U.S. Coin without the word "Liberty" engraved.

I don't think they'll dare make a coin with Dubya's mug on it. People would be defacing them all over....

Reminds me of this joke:

The Bush Stamp

The Postal Service created a stamp with a picture of President Bush. The stamp was not sticking to envelopes. This enraged the President, who demanded a full investigation.

After a month of testing, a special Presidential commission presented the following findings:

1) The stamp is in perfect order.

2) There is nothing wrong with the applied adhesive.

3) People are spitting on the wrong side.

I believe they will have to place GW's gravesite somewhere really hard to find, too.
