SALT LAWS


I haven't been a fan of his, but I have no problem with the new low sodium restaurant laws Bloomberg is trying to pass in New York. This is coming from the man who did away with most street vendors and decided to turn a large portion of our streets into stupid bike lanes. The city has since not turned into some bicycle utopia ; this isn't Amsterdam and people need to get places. I am, oddly enough, ok with the low salt laws because everybody is fat and I'm tired of comforting friends who have body image meltdowns right before we go out to a club and then hit rock bottom at the last moment and don't go out with me because of their horror at what their winter gluttony has produced. Harsh but true - it's happened to me a few times recently. Also, the meatloaf at Mama's on 3rd street is all salt (I had to spit it out). I liked this fascist briny law enough to even post a younger looking and less ugly Bloomberg photo in my collage.

WAR PROPAGANDA MUSCLE T'S


The finest of classic Bush era propaganda. And now with this present huge shift in government specifically not using the term 'War on Terror' I'm glad I fished these out while reorganizing the closet today. I bought this one specifically because of how nonspecific a promotion it was. The bomber with the thumbs up says it all. That aircraft carrier is without a doubt the one that Bush would later put his 'Mission Accomplished' banner on. I cut the arms off of them and they fit real good.


Nothing says flagrant propaganda like one eyed firemen with axes rescuing babies. And the horror font! This is one of the ones that was actually rejected in the garment district. They were in a whole bin being thrown out. I guess even this one was considered too much. Glad I snagged it. I did a tie-die bleach explosion thing to it for an added effect.


You can't have too many black t shirts.
