The Politiki Reagan mug. It combines my love of Politics and Tiki. I guess the other president mugs are close seconds. But as a Republican, I really need that Reagan Mug.
Please don't start a political discussion. Just help me get a Reagan mug.

I dig the Politiki Mugs too. I know, some will have me flogged, but I like 'em. I have a Reagan and a FDR, I'd like to get the whole set....

the real score would be to hork the lincoln and roosevelt carved tikis that are still on front of the building, flanking the sign that says "POUR*HOUSE"

Politiki is a sad example of the kind of unique (however strange it may be!) concept that TIKI stands for totally bypassing and being wasted on the general public.

No offense to anyone, but my first reaction was, WTF? politiki?........I won't even go there... 
But, having said that, Iam curious (morbid curiousity perhaps) to see what they look like.Can someone post a photo?

I've never actually been to the PoliTiki. All the same, the mugs are interesting and different....

The Reagan is in the front, FDR is looking on from the back...
Sven, old pic from a previous post...I swear I didn't put you next to Ronnie on purpose!

NEVER would I have thought it possible to have my (however remote) likeness shown next to this blown-out-of-proportion empty head! (this description can be read as completely factual!)

I have a Reagan, FDR, and Lincoln. I would love to get Carter and Nixon! @ one point they were offering the full set on their site. They never did have them though. I emailed them a few times and they were always kind of cavalier about them "missing in shipping on the way to Politiki". Always had a good time there with the MDVADC Tikiphiles.

Well... I'd love the whole dang set too, but I haven't got any and Reagan is the one I want the most. I've seen some on ebay in the past, but man... I just can't swing that kind of cash right now for a mug.
Also... I'm getting a lot of snide comments pm'd to me about being a Republican. I don't lecture you on your politics or religion and I don't appreciate it from some of you. I've heard nothing but good things about (most) of you on this page but I haven't exactly recieved that kind of good vibe lately. (although I should admit some, like tiki-bot have been informative, helpful, and pretty much polite about it) I repeat... I don't want a political discussion, I'm not trolling or playing devils advocate here, I just followed some other examples of posting my "holy grail."

Sven, Your likeness has now been moved as far away from Ronnie as possible in my collection!
