Patriotic Posters:

Via the always stimulating Cal Pundit comments area, we went to whitehouse.org's Patriotic Posters page. Some good stuff. Excellent Photoshop* work. WARNING: Occasional strong language (e.g. here).

* - is "photoshop" entering the public domain? From an article on copyrights:
The owner of a trademark can lose it if they aren't seen to actively protect it. "Escalator" used to be a trademark. So did aspirin, cellophane, cornflakes, thermos, trampoline, and many other common words; these words passed into common usage because their owners didn't defend them. You can see, then, why major corporations get so twitchy when people start saying things like, "Would you xerox this for me?" and "Hand me a kleenex."
trampoline?
