Children in Albany, New York are unhappy that even though summer has barely started, it's already "back to school" time. That's because the advertisers want parents spending money now:

Kids may hate the timing, but parents like the pricing.

"People are becoming wiser consumers, looking for deals whenever and wherever they can," said Howard Schaffer, of Howard Shaffer Media Marketing in Albany. "(They) are planning ahead. So much of the corporate culture is leading in that direction."

Retailers know it pays to be the first to offer seasonal specials, Schaffer said. As a result, they start the season earlier -- much to the chagrin of children.

Save now on our July Christmas Sale!

And considering that a brand new impeachment season is right around the corner, I'm thinking that this is a good time for the people who sell impeachment stickers to gear up. Some of them already are; I found an "IMPEACH OBAMA" bumpersticker at Cafe Press:

I couldn't find an "IMPEACH MCCAIN" bumpersticker for sale, but one has been designed.

There's even an explanation:

I call it righteous indignation because if he is elected president, he will probably did something wrong and he will need to be impeach.

(No editorial bias is intended by the difference in sizes of the above images. I downloaded them as they were.)

Both ImpeachObama.com and ImpeachMcCain.com are taken. The former redirects to a Google search for the word "Obama", while the latter is a real site.

The incontestable message is that the early bird gets the worm.

So Back To School, Merry Christmas, and Impeach the President!

(Maybe not in that order. But I don't see how an early back to school Christmas impeachment sale would hurt the economy....)
