Here's a linkie to their online catalogue showing the same item. http://acornonline.com/product.asp?pn=12681&Disappearing+Civil+Liberties+Mug&bhcd2=1141524117

The company, as noted on the back of their print catalogue, is ACORN, PO Box 1670, West Chester, OH 45071-1670.

The rest of the catalogue has lotsa WWII and 1940's repro/nostalgia crap, most of it overpriced or gimicky.

What's your take on this?

1. Hahaha

From your headline, I thought it was Rumsfeld scratching his head over 'post'-war Iraq!

Thks for the smile :)

2. Acorn Media is the parent company, and they're a cool produciton company

they produced the Tales of the City series for PBS along with a lot of British comedy releases. I think its a protest thing....

3. Just a tad too flip for my taste.

Or as my grandmother would have said, "Too clever by half."

And twenty-two bucks for a cute mug? Yipes.

4. I've seen this advertised

on some of the liberal/progressive sites. It's actually just a clever reminder of what BushCo has stripped from the Bill of Rights.
