"John Bolton, Toast of the Month" art selling on Ebay

Greetings from the blue state of New Mexico !!! This is a real auction for a real piece of toast-art, made and sold by a (not yet) famous American Inventor who has been awarded several patents, another pending and still more to come after that.. but not a real artist until now.

However, the toast is such a "suitable for framing" kind of thing, that I went to the Viet Nam Veterans' Thrift Store and bought a nice little frame with a right-sized and deep enough cavity to hold the toast in place but not too tightly. The frame is included in the auction, as shown in the pictures. The cardboard back of the frame itself was replaced for a nice felt-backed one, that still has a "Made in Korea" sticker on the back of it.

Please note: This is a serious auction, albeit of some dubious historical significance in that 1. Toast-Art on eBay rises to a new level with having stuff glued on it, being framed, and making a political statement as well; and that, 2. It claims the Bolton nomination for U.S.A. Ambassador to the United Nations is Toast, but remember the historical significance of "DEWEY WINS" and trust that either way, this toast is a part of History. The only real difficulty involved is the actual timing, I understand the next filibustering session over Bolton's nomination will be Tuesday, but things can always change, so I'm listing it now and running for 7 days hope to catch the timing just right.

What would you do with this if you won ?Think about putting it in a cornerstone, or in the Smithsonian Institute, or in the "Hall of (in)Fame" of Politics somewhere.

You can bid here.

1. Very nice item!
A word of advice: you may want to correct the spelling (spell check?)
Words like ridiculous are misspelled and, at least for me, destroy the overall magic of the item.

Keep creating, though :)

2. I didn't mispell it
The artist did. That's how it's posted on ebay.
