Today, we’re proud to introduce Loyalist, a new collection of nostalgic sports tees from the creative minds at BustedTees. For years, you’ve known BustedTees as a brand that produces funny t-shirts with pop-culture references to movies, video games and tv. We love doing that and we’re never going stop. But as BustedTees grows, we feel that we can do the same thing for sports fanatics with Loyalist. We changed up our usual design style, threw them on some super soft vintage blanks, and think they look awesome. We hope you do too. Enjoy, and let us if you have ideas for more Loyalist shirts!
So excited that this has launched. Expect me to wear “The Vet” every day for the rest of my life.

Acoustic Keytar: drawing by me, joke by Joe Burns. One of my faves.
I love the art and the joke.
The t-shirt buying public *cough* disagrees considerably.

I just feel like seeing this again. As you were.
I remember this set! It was just as good as it looks.

When I was 9, we found a pair of these in my childhood friend Scott’s basement. We knew they were a ‘sex thing’, but what exactly they ‘did’ remained a mystery. Now with the wisdom of an adult, it’s clear they do nothing, unless you’re especially interested smashing an erection up against a lady’s pubis.
Unrelated, it turned out my friend’s parents were swingers with a couple down the street from them. They divorced when the husband was caught in bed with someone outside the circle. The Fundies we found were sealed; did a marriage’s salvation lay shrink wrapped inside?
And that is my strangely specific Fundies memory.
At a time when too many of our institutions have let us down, [the military] exceed all expectations. They’re not consumed with personal ambition. They don’t obsess over their differences. They focus on the mission at hand. They work together. Imagine what we could accomplish if we followed their example. Think about the America within our reach.

President Obama
So we have a straight up call for fascism in the middle of the State of the Union and no one blinks an eye? And I’m not talking about “Republicans want people to show IDs to vote” fascism, I’m talking real life, “The state is supreme and it its the duty of the individual to support it’s ambitions” fascism, the militarized view of citizenship that was all the rage during the 1930s.
It’d be ludicrous to say Obama is a fascist, but this is a darkly revealing glimpse into how he views the relationship between citizens and their government.

Our real choice, however, is not between blue or pre-blue. We can’t get back to the 1890s or 1920s any more than we can go back to the 1950s and 1960s. We may not yet be able to imagine what a post-blue future looks like, but that is what we will have to build. Until we remove the scales from our eyes and launch our discourse toward the future, our politics will remain sterile, and our economy will fail to provide the growth and higher living standards Americans continue to seek. That neither we nor the world can afford.
Walter Russell Mead, writing in The American Interest, has one one of the most clear-eyed and honest assessments of the political crossroads America finds itself at present. The problem rises above party politics or even political philosophies; the world we have built our institutions for simply no longer exists, and we must adventurously rethink our society and it’s structures.
Seriously, everyone should read this.

They’d probably be too busy mourning you to give a shit about what was in your purse.
If you can’t tell, PEEVE: When people think religious people (even SUPER-religious people) can’t empathize with people who do ~super scandalous~ things such as have sex or get drunk. Like… to the extent that if someone died and they found out that they were sexually active they’d spend time thinking about that.
Like, I know crazy religious people and I seriously can’t think of a single person, who if I died and they found condoms in my purse would be like ~Natalie has been ruined for me. She is dead and I am choosing to think about her possible sex life~. They’d be busy like, planning my funeral and praying for my soul. Which they’d do even if they had proof I was a virgin.
Plus, if they were really Catholic, they’d just pretend they didn’t find them and repress the idea that sex even exists.
