40 Acres and a Democrat IOU Sticker

Historians will tell you that in 1865, freed slaves were promised 40 acres and a mule. What they won't tell you is that the Democrats who made that promise immediately went home, took a nap, and didn't bring it up again for about 160 years — and only then because an election was coming up.

Enter the IOU. The most powerful document in American political history. It's been renewed every four years, signed with great fanfare, and delivered approximately never.

Slap this sticker on your laptop, truck, water bottle, or the back of whatever promise your politician just made. It pairs beautifully with skepticism.

• High-quality vinyl — weatherproof, sunproof, and excuse-proof
• Bold red IOU ribbon — the most honest thing a Democrat has ever worn since Kennedy
• Sticks to most surfaces, unlike some campaign promises
• Est. 1865 — the original IOUs are still pending

Warning: May cause uncontrollable nodding. Not responsible for any feelings of déjà vu every four years.

Wear the truth. Stick it everywhere.
