When I was growing up buttons were the new “in” thing!    Of course, now I see them coming back!   Just last week I was at the commons and among tons of bumper stickers (that you see in Ithaca) I also saw a lot of funny buttons.

Of course, I love all of the somewhat feminist buttons that are a tad bit offensive.   But I can’t say that I would ever wear a button!

I must admit that when I was in High School I did have a George Bush button that I wore religiously during the elections.   (I’ll blame this on my southern/Texas upbringing?)   I was quite the devoted mini-republican at the time and even though I couldn’t vote - I found it my duty to wear that button on my RED blazer!

Now you can actually purchase your own Button Maker for use at home or work!  Buttonbiz.com is a distributor of button making machines.  

If I owned a button machine I’m not really sure what they would say — but I’m sure I’d come up with something somewhat witty and would spark a thought of interest among readers.

Of course, knowing me — I’m always looking for a way to make money so I’d probably try to turn into a capitalist venture!

Now wouldn’t the Republicans be proud of me now?
