I thought I’d check E-Bay to see if I could find one of these Obama sock dolls, but there weren’t any there. If any were made, someone has them and is holding out for the big money. Maybe someday we’ll see one in the Smithsonian. Why don’t we just throw the First Amendment — wait, all of them — out the window?
