Two New Inspiring Writer T-shirts
We've expanded the writer gear section of our store with these two new designs. The first is a humorous take on the "obey" designs that seem so popular these days. Ours features a picture of a book titled "Rules of Grammar" and the word 'Disobey' in large dramatic type. Fans of experimental writers such as William "cut 'n paste" Burroughs or J.G. "why i want to fuck ronald reagan" Ballard ought to get a kick out of this one.

Does This Shirt Make Me Look Chinese?
We're very proud of our new Chinese character t-shirt design. There's not a lot to it, really. It reads right to left in simplified Chinese: "Does This Shirt Make Me Look Chinese?" Well, sometimes less is more.
We think this a nice shirt to wear because people who can read Chinese will think it's funny, and people who can't read Chinese will just think it looks cool. Where ever you wear it, it's sure to get questions.
This Chinese character t-shirt is now available in our Zazzle shop, Beijing Central. We've already ordered several for ourselves.

Satirists on Politics
During this election season, it's always fun to take a step back and reflect on what politics means to us. We have lots of thoughts on the subject, but they seem to be alternately bitter or depressing. So rather than use our own, we decided to raid the minds of political satirists and put their quotes on t-shirts.
Okay, so Robert McCloskey, author of Make Way for Ducklings, doesn't qualify as a political satirist. Still, we love the quote by him, first seen on a poster featuring one Richard M. Nixon.
Ambrose Bierce and Will Rogers both wrote newspaper columns. Bierce was the more biting of the two, often stirring up controversy. This definition of politics comes from "The Devil's Dictionary".
Will Rogers is best known for saying "I never met a man I didn't like." Obviously, he never met Dick Cheney, but judging by our quote, he might have met George W. Bush.
Voltaire needs no introduction, but we'll give him one anyway. He was very outspoken in his day, and spent time in prison for it. His ideas influenced leaders of the American revolution and perhaps helped bring about the modern nation-state, so that years later Mark Twain could say "We have the best government that money can buy." We didn't put Twain's quote on a shirt because it was too depressing, and Voltaire's quote isn't exactly funny, but we think it's true. Vive le truth!
