Maybe we should rename it Obama Day? And the disenfranchised everywhere will rejoice. Together we can. Or at least you can, if you believe&#8230; Or something inspirational.
This card was brought to us by BenSchwartz.

<p>Sara Rossi has been a PigSpigot artist since the very beginning.  Her political and pop culture-y cards are exactly what the Pig envisioned when he dreamed up &#8220;greeting cards on tap.&#8221;</p>
<p>She&#8217;s an artist and an entrepreneur, conquering the big apple.   She shared her inspiration with us here:</p>
<p><strong>What inspires your work? </strong><br />
Everything. Fashion, art, pop culture, New York City.  I am constantly attempting to bridge creativity and beauty with a little bit of humor. But I try not to take any of it too seriously.</p>
<p><strong>Where are you located? </strong><br />
I’m originally from Westport, CT, but now I live in New York City.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s your favorite kind of greeting card to receive?</strong><br />
Other than Pig cards, obviously, it would have to be the really cheesy animated e-cards that my dad sends me every year on my birthday. They usually make me laugh out loud.</p>
<p><strong>What is the last card you received / sent? </strong><br />
I doubt it was the last one, but one that really made me laugh was a birthday card from a college roommate that read, “There is a certain amount of wine that makes you say, ‘Damn, I’m a good dancer’.” Which couldn’t be more true (and unfortunate) in my case.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s your favorite kind of card to send? </strong><br />
Drink Me Tags, my new company that designs gift tags for wine bottles. (Shameless plug).</p>
<p><a href="http://drinkmetags.com/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-694" title="Drink Me Tags" src="http://pigstyblog.pigspigot.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/tags.jpg" alt="Drink Me Tags" width="147" height="190" /></a><strong>Where can people find your art for purchase? Isn&#8217;t it true you have a new line of products? Tell us about them. </strong><br />
My mom and I founded <a href="http://www.drinkmetags.com/">Drink Me Tags</a> and launched the product line and website just in time for the holidays! Drink Me Tags are gift cards especially designed for wine and spirit bottles.</p>
<p>For my mom and I, giving a bottle of wine for any occasion is standard practice. But gifting options have always been slim.  We wanted to create tags that were easy, classy, and inspired—something more than a clumsy attempt to get your bottle noticed.</p>
<p>Drink Me Tags are colorful, custom designed cards with taglines that include, “It’s 5PM Somewhere,” “Grape Therapy” and “Drink me.”  They are affixed to a loop of ribbon by a metal brad, so that they hang cleanly on the shoulders of <strong><a href="http://www.pigspigot.com/app/view/content/638/"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-698" title="Get Well Later" src="http://pigstyblog.pigspigot.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/fbdb45b41e28c9e4e165e51162df1cf5_g.jpg" alt="Get Well Later" width="186" height="259" /></a></strong>any wine bottle.</p>
<p>We’re selling tags at wholesale and retails prices and all the designs can be found on our site: <a href="http://www.drinkmetags.com/">www.drinkmetags.com</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Where do you do your best work? </strong><br />
The majority of my work is done on my couch in front of the TV. It’s gotten to the point where I can’t watch television without my computer open on my lap.  I tend to have to rewind a lot because I’m always missing what’s happening on the show.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s your favorite medium and why? </strong><br />
My Mac! I couldn’t live without it. I studied studio arts in college, but focused on <strong><a href="http://www.pigspigot.com/app/view/content/34/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-697" title="Change" src="http://pigstyblog.pigspigot.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/651a072da1fecae4d58d9dfa1f79999f_g.jpg" alt="Change" width="119" height="168" /></a></strong>digital design. I’m really an awful drawer, so if it wasn’t for Photoshop my cards would only exist in my head.</p>
<p><strong>Tell us what you think about the Pig! </strong><br />
I love the Pig! I got involved almost a year ago, months before they launched, and I’ve had so much fun creating for them ever since!</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s your favorite pork product? </strong><br />
I haven’t eaten red meat in fifteen years… But I do love turkey sausage!</p>

The Pig thinks everyone should be treated like a king on their birthday!  Especially heads of state, foreign monarchies, and those who don&#8217;t know what they are&#8211;not to imply that our great President doesn&#8217;t&#8230;.  Right.
Anyways! This comical creation was brought to you by infamous.  No kidding, that&#8217;s his user name.
