If you like to grow plants and you love Obama, then you will want to mix the two together and get yourself the Chia Obama. Of course, you could deprive yourself of this pleasurable item and give it as a gift! Naah!

Any body have one yet?

When this commercial came on, I thought it was a spoof at first.Nope. http://chiaobama.com/ is legit, so far as I can tell anyway. Evidently, It has been posted before. First I have heard of it..So Chia is going direct marketing, and the commercial is hilarious!

<p>Chia Pet Creator 'Shocked' After Walgreens Pulls Obama Model From Shelves Chia Pet creator Joseph Pedott says he was "shocked" when he found out Walgreens was dropping his Chia Obama.</p> <p>The creator of the Chia Pet is ch-ch-cheesed off after Walgreens pulled a special-edition Chia Obama from its shelves -- apparently over concerns that it might offend customers.</p>

As you must know by now, the great President Obama Chia Pet scandal is national news. In a spasm of politically correct panic, Chicago-area based Walgreens stores pulled the fake terra cotta heads from shelves rather than commit corporate sacrilege. Some insist the Chia Obama is racist. Others say it's downright disrespectful to plant seeds on the messianic president's iconic dome. "People could interpret it through a political viewpoint or other viewpoints, and we want to avoid that situation," a Walgreens spokeswoman said via e-mail. "Hope this helps clear up our decision. If you have any more questions, please let...

The latest in politically-correct overreaction also could double as simple good taste on the part of Walgreens, the national discount pharmacy and convenience store. Walgreens has most of the As Seen On TV product line as well as every emolument known to man, which makes it one of the most entertaining shopping experiences outside of Spencers Gifts, or perhaps Fredericks of Hollywood for the truly garish. And if you don’t already know, that last link is NSFW, or for your marriage if your wife finds you surfing there. Hot Air is not responsible for injuries due to rolling pins, broken...

No, we can't -- buy the Chia Obama at some Walgreen's stores. Some local Walgreen's store managers are not amused by this latest offering from the creators of the Chia Pet and have pulled the item from their shelves. The story from the Fox affiliate in Tampa Bay linked above doesn't really explain why but it seems reasonable to guess that somebody somewhere was offended. Weird news reporter Jeanne Moos of CNN did a story on the Chia Obama back in January but no one seemed to notice. There's the serious-looking Determined Chia Obama, and then there's the smiling Happy...

Does anyone here think is is fishy that a claimed 400kt was a 5kt poof? Does anyone here think this is a conventional detonation of a few thousand tons in a shallow surface location to create the appearance of a nuke? No nuclear signature, no leak. Is that suspicious? Is North Korea simply trying to save face and collect money?

After checking three stores, Beth Cohnen finally found a must-have Christmas gift for her 10-year-old daughter to give to her uncle: a Chia Scooby-Doo. It's bound to be $15 well spent -- he'd asked for it for about five years in a row. And while the uncle recognizes the humor in the quirky pottery, Cohnen said, Chia Pets aren't for her. "I think they're kind of odd," she said. Over the past two decades, the Chia Pet has grown beyond its marketer's expectations to become a classic kitsch gift.
