Wow. Ray Nelson, the guy who wrote the story which ended up as They Live, invented the propellor beanie.

You know, they're pretty iconic. Bright-eyed innocent techno-hopefulness. Whatever happened to that? (Yeah, I know, the Challenger disaster).

The world needs shiny optimism more than ever. I hereby propose that, in accordance with the "Hope" motif, Obama gets on-side and sports one. Not a propellor, of course, that's way too low-tech. We need Obama in a vectored-thrust turboject beanie. Possibly a Scaled Composites carbon-fibre vectored-thrust turbojet beanie.

How strong is your photoshop-fu? :)
