"Girlie-Men" T-Shirts The New Rage
<snip>

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - California Democrats and Republicans agree on one thing: the political insult "girlie men" has opened up a marketing bonanza.

Just days after Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger (news - web sites) called state Democrats "girlie men" for failing to pass a budget by the state's July 1 deadline, a San Francisco-based entrepreneur has begun selling T-shirts over the Internet with the slogan "Sacramento Girlie Men."

Offered at www.sacramentogirliemen.com, the item costs $24, "And 20% of proceeds will benefit the California Democratic Party, which as you may have noticed, could use the help," the Web site reads.

Meanwhile, the state's College Republicans announced plans to sell T-shirts reading "Don't be a Girlie Man. Vote Republican."

"They will be cheaper than the Democrat version," said group spokesman Ryan Clumpner

5. And let's not forget the laws of supply and demand
They're cheap because nobody wants them.
