AMERICAN MADE

Don't worry, this isn't about to become one of the thousands of blogs with the same links to the same warmed-over stories about politics, etc. But this one is simply too good to pass up. From a Reuters article about a Bush speech in St. Louis:

Bush delivered his message in front of a fake wall of cardboard boxes stamped "Made in U.S.A." The real boxes, set to Bush's side, had their "Made in China" stamps blotted out.

The White House said it did not intend to cover up the markings on the boxes. "It appears it was an overzealous volunteer. We'll take it up with the appropriate channels," White House spokeswoman Claire Buchan said.


Our country's new motto? America: Made in China(tm).
