John Edwards Kippah, The Yarmulcheater
Ever since the launch of this site, people have been asking me about the prospect of other political Kippahs. Some examples: the JFK kippah (what’s the point? I already have an Obamica!) the Richard Nixon Kippah (what’s the point? I already have the McCain Kippah. Kidding!) the Ron Paul Kippah, the George McGovern Kippah, the Gary Condit Yarmulke….
You get the idea. Everyone is suddenly a Kippah composer. Myself included.
So, naturally, when the John Edwards story FINALLY made its way the hallowed news rooms of main stream press, my site was getting inundated by inquiries for the John Edwards Kippah. FYI, inundated means that three people in Shul suggested the “concept” to me, on condition they’d get a 85% cut of whatever I’d make. (I had to bargain down from 93.5%!)
An Edwards Yarmulke is not a good idea. For many ethical reasons, the main one being: it would not sell. Also, I am not a big fan of negative paraphernalia. Read The Secret. Positive energy is where it’s at folks. If only the McCain and Obama campaign managers would read and hearken to the message of the book.
Still, my mind wanders. And the imagination runs amok. Here’s the prototype of the John Edwards Kippah:

I can’t tell whether you’re being serious about this or not but man, it seems like poor taste. Kicking someone when their down is low. And you said it wouldn’t sell anyway. Is this a play to see how many people will actually buy one?

You got me rolling on the floor with those kippahs.
Try exporting it to Israel, it will be a hit!

Thanks Omer!
Duh Only, good point. My bad. So, can I put you down for a two-dozen Yarmulcheaters?
