A Town Named Obama

(Marin County, California) Not too far from the birthplace of the ebonics education proposition, we get this experiment in preferential spelling.

Motorists entering the quaint, woodsy town of Olema near the sea in Marin County may notice a subtle change as they enter: it appears the burg's name has been changed to ''Obama.''

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama supporter and bed and breakfast owner Kelly Emery created a perfect mirror of the green sign people read as they enter the town's limits.

Now people unfamiliar with the area may think they are entering the town of Obama, population: 55.

Since the area is dilettante-deep in snooty liberals, there has been little fuss.
