Press Release Body:
RANCHO SANTA FE, Calif., September 3, 2008 – Last week’s furor over a three dollar
bill depicting presidential candidate Barack Obama in Arab headdress was not the
work of Republican operatives according to the bill’s creator, Jesse Dalton. “We
did it,” says Dalton, “Frankly I don’t think the Republicans are clever enough to
come up with anything this cool.”

Dalton, Managing Editor of www.Slick.com is a registered Independent who relishes
lampooning both parties. “Both the Republican and Democratic parties currently
represent a depth of ineptitude, hypocrisy and corruption that boggles the mind,”
says Dalton. “They’re both fair game,” he adds.

The company’s faux Obama bill, which Snohomish County Washington Republicans were
reselling at the Evergreen State Fair, depicts Obama wearing a traditional Arab
headdress, with the title of “The Prince of Platitudes.” “They bought them from us
and were simply reselling them,” said Dalton.

John McCain has not escaped the company’s satirical ribbing. Slick.com has issued a
John “McMummy” $3 bill depicting McCain as a partially unwrapped mummy. Issued by
“The Liberalized GOP of America” the three dollar “Note of Desperation” conceals a
number of jokes and zingers. The bill can be seen here:

The company founded in 1992, has issued gag currency lampooning George W. Bush, Bill
Clinton, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Ross Perot, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Al Gore and
many other politicians. Slick.com publishes The Loose Change Gazette, an online
satirical offering targeting Obama, McCain and other politicians. According to
Dalton, “It’s yellow journalism at its best and is certain to offend the politically
correct.”

Both the Obama and McCain funny money can be seen here: http://www.slick.com
