Happy 4th of July! To help celebrate our Independence Day, lets pay homage to the defunct tiki bar The Politiki from Washington D.C. The tiki bar sold tiki mugs with the images of former presidents on them. Tikis and presidents, what a combo!

Presidential mugs included Carter, Reagan, FDR, Nixon, and Lincoln.

The Politiki mugs are quite rare, fetching $200 on ebay. If you have a Nixon or Lincoln mug, please email me a photo. I sure would like to see what they looked like. If you have been to the Politiki, I would love to hear about your visit.
