Obama Bling
As most of our friends of the flesh would tell you, were they to be asked, all of us here at Dakota are not much for jewelry (though we do love a good pastel). Recently our old (sorry dear) college roommate, while on a politically incorrect (sorry again dear) off-Manhattan expedition to Walmart, recognized a copy of a $700,000 Tiffany diamond ring on sale for $10.87. She phoned to ask if she could pick up one for us. We were otherwise occupied, and missed the call, but placed a standing for her next excursion. By the time she hit Walmart again, this particular item was sold out. She now has permission to pick up any dazzling Tiffany diamonds she comes across for under $50, since we have a few fancy occasions coming up. No one will ever dream that women our age would wear faux jewels, right?
As synchronicity would have it, the next day we saw this fabulous bling affixed to a right minded chest. Who could resist, even though it's a a little pricey.

Addendum: Speaking of Obama, from Jenna's Wedding in the New York Times
On Saturday afternoon, the Hager family hosted wedding guests at a barbecue in Salado. The wedding, which began at 7:30 p.m., took place on the Bush ranch, before a white limestone altar erected next to a man-made lake. The Rev. Kirbyjon Caldwell of Windsor Village United Methodist Church in Houston officiated at the ceremony. Mr. Caldwell, a longtime religious adviser to Mr. Bush, has endorsed Senator Barack Obama.Pictures from the Portland rally
