POPSIs The Thrill Gone For Obama Supporters?
Obama Fades? I can't speak for anyone else but for me his glow has dimmed, since he started wearing that flag lapel pin. While living through years of the worst president the US has had at the helm, I could identify the enemy or the Bush supporters by their Bush/Neocon fraternity pins. And I could direct my anger even before the Bushy sycophants opened their bombastic collective rhetorical pie-holes and blather the some ole, same ole. So the flag label pin had become a symbol of pretentious superciliousness to me. Of course, with Obama pandering to the "R's" and the "I's" who voted for Dubya and helped ruin our country and make us a laughing stock all over the world (Remember the headline from the UK’s Daily Mirror: How Can 1,230,065 People Be So Dumb?) may have a little to do with the Obama Fade From Grace. But that PIN is all I see when this eloquent orator takes center stage and its glare has a blinding effect on the reflection of the man behind that "R" studded brooch. :-(

POPSWeird Brooch or Pin with Spider in Spiderweb I would like to know the age and significance of this piece of costume jewelry. It has such a weird design, kind of ugly, with a spider, fly, and spider web. Are the end shapes baskets, crowns, crinolines, hoop skirts, funnels (as in funnel-web spider)? It is spiritual and mysterious, and the symbols might be of Jung, like dream symbols. The spider, web, and egg or dewdrop could be about self-search, self-awareness, subconsciousness... ? It's heavy and old-fashioned. Have you seen one like it? I'm really curious, even after it sells. Would it be real jewelry (that a lady would wear every day) or just made for a Halloween costume? I've searched, but couldn't find a similar one.
