Yes We Can
As America prepares to say a fond farewell to Bush, comedians around the world are in mourning. It is unlikely that Obama will ever declare that the human being and fish can coexist peacefully, lament that OB/GYNs can't practice their love with women, or claim to have been misunderestimated.
And seeing as we can't join the four million strong stampede that's caused Bush to claim a state of emergency in the capital (well played Sir, well played), we're planning our own little shindig.
The invites: Evites has a patriotic assortment inviting your mates to Party like a Barack Star, whilst someecards has a typically irreverent/mildly offensive selection. Make sure your guests RSVP 'Yes we CAN' and 'No we CANnot.'
The décor: Americana!
The attire: Cafepress has everything from buttons to t-shirts, though we're not quite sure about the 'hope' and 'yes you can' thong selection.
The game: Obamabingo. Print out the cards, turn on the TV, and every time you hear one of his signature words, stamp it.
The drink: American Pop Champagne from Selfridges, and retro snow cones laced with Democrat Blue Curaçao.
The out: Don't fancy cleaning up post-party? Head to one of our friends at Time Out's picks of the capital's ready-made celebrations.
The souvenir: Send your mates a post party keepsake with a life-size Barack cut-out.
Which just goes to show, there isn't a President that can't be bought.
