T-shirts in Union Square

Tonight I was passing through Union Square and there was this guy selling all sorts of T-shirts. One of them was a Hitler/Bush shirt with a caption that read Same Shit, Different Asshole. He also had a T-shirt that said "Capitalism breeds poverty". when I asked him how much it was he said it was seventeen dollars, so I called him a greedy capitalist bastard. Then he launches in to a tirade about how Diesel charges $50 and how hard it is to make a living doing this.

First, I think that he just misssed the irony.

Second, if he stopped selling T-shirts with pictures of Hitler, he might stand a chance of making a better living.

What a dumb bastard.

It's times like this that I second-guess my willingness to die defending this SOB's freedom of speeech.

(Oh, and speaking of sick T-shirts. . . )

"Bush killed my son"
- slogan of the new Parents who Promote Homosexual Acts as Opposed to the More Deadly Heterosexual Ones, or PwPHAaOttMDHO.

They're what's known in the lobbying world as "a start-up."

well, if anyone's intersted in throwing eggs at windy sheehan, she's coming to st. francis college in october. funny how a few months ago at st. francis college, a bunch of palestinian students showed up to bash israel in a jews against the israeli occupation- and brooklyn parents for peace-co-sponsored event, which someone at my paper wrote about, i thought, rather biasedly, and which i had to address with a strongly worded anonymous letter.
shoshele, i, for one, do not wear t-shirts like that, although i did sport one that said "jewcy" for a while.

St. Francis never struck me as such an activist institution. I didn't think people really cared around there. Do they?

Also, Cindy Sheehan is alreaady booked for October? I didn't realize how much she was capitalizing on her son's death.
