A Creative Moment
When I create stuff for Cafepress, it's mostly to tickle my own funnybone. Occasionally someone shares my bizarre sense of humor, they laugh and rarely, they buy something. Mostly my stuff is the sort that will get the crap beat out of you if it leaves your home. ... Ah well. The price of being me...

Anway, without any attempt to suggest you ought to buy, or even to suggest that these things are for sale - let's just say that these things are real. They exist... and if they tickle you, I'd be flattered.

Crossposted to places of genuine relevance.

I was bored and my wmd image seemed to be a good starting point for a joke based on the Scarlet Pimpernil...

They seek him here/
They seek him there/
Those Frenchies seek him everywhere!

Is he in heaven or is he in hell?
That demned elusive Pimpernil!</b>

And of course, our Mr. Bush is the epitome of every bumbling foil and tool in movie history.

So I came up with this admittedly obscure tee. It makes me smile. Maybe you are strange enough for it to work too. It IS a convesation piece...

This was due to a comment by Sean Hannidy I heard in a moment when I was too busy driving to hit the CD button.

Hannedy is one of those conservative commentators who's smug idiocy and uninetentional self-parody makes actual conservatives wince - especially when he's talking about something any coservative ought to understand, when he clearly does not.

But that day he was saying that the reason Conservatives Like Him were Good and Liberals were Evil is that Conservatives have the GUTS and Mental Fortatude to boil complicated ideas down to a bumpersticker. The Evil of Liberalism, you see, comes from Thinking and Listening and starting to believe that the world is a complicated place, with no simple solutions!!!

And, hannedy says, any true conservative knows there are!

Kill 'em All! Let God Sort Them Out is one of his favorites. He was suggesting that we should nuke Falluja in retalitation for the deaths of those security guards...

A sense of proportion is not in him.

But of course, some things ARE simple. And here's the bumpersticker response to why neoconservatism, the bush administration, and the war on terror are all miserable failures in practice:

Now, here's the noncommercial bit for this: It's on cafepress because cafepress is free for me. It doesn't make cheap bumperstickers, though. If you feel entrepreneurial, subversive, or both, and you'd like to raise a little ABB cabbage... just ask me, and tell me where to send the graphic. I'd rather make an impact than a dollar with this one.

Anyway, while I was uploading these images - I noticed that Cafepress had come up with an Easter (or Oestra) Bunny. It's so cute. So huggable. So fluffy.

The perfect stuffy for traumatized multiples with the habit of using all your kleenex... ....with a little ATTITUDE!

Bush did not cause the problemes this country has
and does not have any more power to fix them
Kerry would not and could not do better

Geez, dude, thank you for making my point. You really DO think in bumperstickers.

Iraq was about WMD's now the people of iraq are free of them
Yep. Just like Lichtenstinen, Canada and Belgum. Kinda like this; it's easy to free someone of something they never had.

Re Clinton: he used cruise-misslile diplomacy with a pretty free hand. Engageed the miliary with fair regularity. And don't criticize Clinton for stuff that Newt did too, and was equally irrelevant to their duties.

Ken Starr would have been seriously distracted by a blow-job. I'm morally certain Clinton could drive through a snowstorm while dodging flaming balls of brimstone. Whatever you think of him for developing the ability....

How do you KNOW Kerry is worse?

And I disagree - a republican majority in house and senate means that even if he is worse, he's gotta try to do better, cause the Congress won't simply rubberstamp his idjut ideas because folks like you are dumb enough to believe him when he says he's a Christian and a Republican Conservative.

Bush's problems - you don't consider the biggest freakin' deficit in memory, coming from the first surplus in memory to be a problem? Debt is a tax. Any time money comes out of your pocket as a result of a governement policy, that's a tax. In fact, by this and other means, Bush has raised taxes more than any liberal would dream.

As for "doomed?"

This IS doom. Look at your constitution. Note what few scraps are left of it.

It's the fault of folks like you - stupid, gullible fools who believe what they see on Fox - who have made KERRY - of all people, a figure of salvation.

Could be worse, I suppose. Could be Ted Kennedy.

But what I LIKE about Kerry is that he's cold meat for someone from the Republican Wing of the Republican party.
