OK, I admit the Che Reagan shirt is clever.

Every now and then the conservatives come up with something funny like that; I will hand them this one.*

But now I want a blue one with Clinton on it! No one's done that one yet!

_{*Before the accusations fly, please do due diligence and do a search on author "LoZoccolo" and keyword "Reagan" to inform yourself on what I think of Reagan's policies. It only takes a minute.}

1. The Che Reagan shirt is a better fit for lefty irony-junkies

than it is for conservatives. I bet that in a Midwest college town somewhere at this moment, a bass player in a garage band is wearing one while performing.

9. Hey, don't you insult bass players now.

:hi:

3. Say what you will about the RW and GOP...

They have damn good graphic designers and image handlers.

We really need to hire whoever does Bush's banners and backdrops and such.

4. No way! I'm a graphic designer and all my friends

who are also graphic designers are liberals. Artists are generally a liberal lot. A few kooks here and there are RW, but not many. I guess the GOP just has more money to spend on marketing and super designed stuff, what with all their ill-gotten gains off the backs of the poor and middle class.

5. Exactly!

They can afford the best. Plus, I think the GOP is better at "political theatre", if you get my drift. Like all "America the Beautiful!" crap.

6. I don't know

from last months Metropolis Magazine. Kind of a long article but here's the first two paragraphs. You have to be a subscriber to get this article online and I'm not:

POTUS Typographicus by Steven Heller

Karl Rove may be a brilliant strategist, but he knows absolutely nothing about good typography. He'd better get his ascenders in gear if his White House minions plan to continue placing banners and digital backdrops above, behind, and below the president while he's making those key speeches. So far these ersatz billboards--with slogans like "A Brighter Future for America," "Plan for Victory," and "Protecting America's Borders" underscoring W's major themes and talking points--have been typographic monstrosities on an aesthetic par with those hideous subway advertisements hawking Dr. Zizmor, New York's most publicized board-certified dermatologist.

Whatever one thinks about this administration's domestic and foriegn policies, the White House's garish type selections are so thoughtless they trivialize rather than enhance the rhetoric of our POTUS (no, not a synonym for doofus--or that substance he used to smoke--but rather the Secret Service's acronym for President of the United States). While his handlers would never allow the leader of the free world to go out in public wearing a rayon leisure suit and white bucks, they nonetheless use clownish shareware typefaces with hokey beveled edges and cheesy drop shadows to represent his ideas.

10. That's so cool!

I am a total sucker for typography. And I guess the article does make some good points.

7. Well I looked across some of their designs.

So easy to change one of their designs and make it actually sound like the truth.

Here's my edit (sorry I'm no real pro photoshopper and hey it took me a few minutes!)

8. Shows how they feel about the "liberal media" and other ... fun

Edited to add more fun:


And some baby tees:
