My kids got me this for Father’s day.

The mug is emblazoned with the compete Bill of Rights, but when you fill it with hot coffee the parts negated by the Patriot Act fade out. There isn’t much left.

It’s not entirely realistic, because after it cools the missing rights come back, which will probably never happen in our lifetime. (To my knowledge L.M. Obama hasn’t even mentioned repealing the act.) But it’s a fun reminder for anyone who is still under the illusion we live in a free country.
