The Souvenirs of Last Resort

My office is on the inaugural parade route. In the office building is a CVS. I was in there this morning and saw that they're really gearing up for the hordes that will be there on Monday. Racks are full of new Obama merchandise.

After all the good stuff has been bought, I'm guessing that these will be the last things sold. I can hear someone saying, "god dammit, I AM going to have a souvenir of this event!"
