The items include “I'm out for Obama" T-shirts, beer koozies that read "LGBT for Obama" and even baby onesies with

I wanted the Cup of Joe. My partner wanted the Long Form Mug. I'm the one who drinks coffee, but it was his money. Sigh. I'm still a little bummed, but can't/won't justify paying twenty-odd smackers (plus shipping) for a fucking coffee mug.

'big fucking deal' is a reference to a comment from Biden about the passage of the health care bill (LoL bless him and his lack of a filter)

Oh, shit. That's right.

I kind of love the way they took a political "oops" moment and made it into a T-shirt.

Selling. GBLT merchandise. Selling merchandise of GBLT rights. MARKETING equality...

Really?

After years of "evolving" they've already got "all equal before the law" tat ready to make money off the final "evolution" (of "let's leave it to the states")

Hmmmmm. This is my not impressed face.

Too bad there aren't cat t-shirts. I'd buy those in a jiffy.

My cat would destroy me with her claws if I ever attempted to put her in a T-shirt.

I did, however, have to pause at the "I Meow for Michelle" collar (who comes up with these things?): http://store.barackobama.com/home-outdoors/pets/i-meow-for-michelle-cat-collar.html

I've just gone on a "cats on t-shirts" buying binge on Threadless/Woot over the last few weeks. I really need some self-control.
