This is a little off-topic, but I was headed to Starbuck's in Newburyport at 6 a.m. before a run to Logan, and I was brought up short by the sight of this weird little Barack Obama rubber duckie in the window of the Soak shop on State Street. It's not the concept that bothers me. It's that weird, nostril-less snout or beak that has replaced his nose and mouth. It makes me think of the freaks in the famous "Eye of the Beholder" episode of "Twilight Zone." I mean, what the hell? (Sorry for the low photo quality, I took this with my cellphone.)
