Our sister store, Rising Tide Tees, has posted a couple of funny t-shirt designs at the expense of the Supreme Court. Inspired by the recent Citizen's United ruling granting "personhood" to corporations in the form of unlimited spending on candidate advertisements, these are sure to tickle your funny bone. If we didn't laugh, we'd have to cry.

Three by James Baldwin
We've always admired James Baldwin's honest, compassionate writing, from Go Tell It on the Mountain to The Evidence of Things Not Seen. Raised in Harlem, he became a pentecostal preacher at age 14, but a few years later, he abandoned religion and moved to Greenwich Village. He attended The New School which proved to be an intellectual haven, and there he began writing short stories, essays and book reviews. He also began to come to terms with his homosexuality and quickly realized that America was not a welcoming place for either blacks or gays. At the tender age of 24, James Baldwin moved to France to live as an expatriate.
Now we've put three of our favorite quotes by him on t-shirts and other items. You can find these and more at our Zazzle store, Words Plus Paper. Feel free to drop by and browse!

Baudelaire T-shirt Now Available
Our first post of the new year (TGI2010) concerns the inimitable poet, Charles Baudelaire. An inspiration to Arthur Rimbaud and truly one of the first decadent writers, Baudelaire had an intense gaze that separates the artist from the average citizen. We also love his Frenchiness and his ability to help continue this French theme. Get your t-shirt now at our Words Plus Paper store and you'll never have to stare anyone down again. Your t-shirt can do it for you. Available in keychains and other items as well. Enjoy and happy new year!
