I am so sick of all this Red State, Blue State nonsense. I am not sure when we stopped being the United States, but they even make mugs about it now. While you won't see me carrying this mug around the office, it is a perfect gift for your political troublemaker.

The Republican version says Make My Day 2008. The mug turns all the states to red when filled with a hot beverage. It features stars, stripes, a Republican elephant and a dismayed Democrat donkey. The Red State mug is priced around $12.

The Blue State version says I Have A Dream 2008. The red states slowly turn to blue when a hot beverage is poured into the mug. It also features stars and stripes, but it has a frowning Republican elephant and Democrat donkey. The Blue State mug is also priced around $12.
