Big Hat Tip to Chris - I think we have a new SDWC t-shirt

By -
A Big hat tip to my buddy and former college roommate Chris. He just got back from vacation and saw my post on how I had a mental block over a theme for the next t-shirt. Apparently he spent too much time on vacation watching cartoons, because he saw the elephant rearing back, and thought of the mouse theme.
I love it. It captures the essence of why I'm involved in politics. And a lot of why I'm blogging about politics.

Because I believe one person can make a difference. And maybe, just maybe, if the stars are aligned correctly, and God smiles on you for a moment - one person can change the world.

Or at the very least, make the elephant think about where it's going to step next.

Now I just have to go into production. (I'm thinking white on a biker black t-shirt.)

Maybe. But as of midnight, I topped out at 7500 visits (14,000+ page views).

And Anon, "yer" one of them.

I forget the author, but I believe there was a politician who once said "The press can call me a son of a bitch as long as they spell my name right."

big phant get big air. . . way cool. Shouldn't the mouse be a little donkey, though?

I kinda agree with mhs. The shirt kinda denigrates the people you support. Don't make much sense. I suppose Epp could make a shirt like this - but then you would make a shirt with the mouse under an elephant's foot. And a mouse under a donkey? - that's not logical either.

I guess I don't do t-shirts - I have a box of old political t-shirts and they just take up space.

How about a classroom with lots of little elephants all sitting and a big GOP elephant teaching them? And a caption ... SD War College. I can't draw - so you have to do it. That'd be a better shirt.

The whole concept of the blogger as the little guy... the mouse on the T-shirt, making a difference.

PP isn't a donkey, nor in SD does the donkey make the 'phant jump with a few notable exceptions.

It's a keeper!

Lots better than the previous version, but reminds me of an old dirty joke involving an elephant and a mouse and I can't remember it.

Just as well, actually.

As the only South Dakota blogger out with 5 daughters, I feel I need to weigh in on the whole discussion that's occurring with regards to the HPV vaccine, and Governor Rounds' proposal to make it available. My family (including my three oldest girls) watched my mom, their grandmother, succumb slowly and painfully to cancer which spread throughout her body. If a similar fate from a different type of cancer was preventable through a simple shot, why wouldn't anyone advocate for it? At the age most of my kids are going to be getting it, they're still playing with barbies, and negative influences such as most of the programming on MTV, and other assorted trashy television is verboten in my house. All they're going to know about this vaccination is that it's a shot, just like for teatnus or measles. They'll go "Ow, I don't want a shot," and that will be it. Just another mark on their vaccination record. One check box for DPT, one for HPV, and so on...

Giebink for House.
Otherwise known as "What not to do in a fundraising letter."

(Click on picture to enlarge) This fundraising letter is making the rounds across South Dakota. This one is from Sioux Falls, but I've also seen a few people in Pierre who have gotten it (an attorney or two). I've got to say that without a doubt this is one of the worst fundraising letters I've run across this year. It's not just that it says "Dear friends." Bleaugh. It's not just that it doesn't ask for an amount and you can barely tell that it's a fundraising letter. It's an entire letter of poison prose. Here's the basic structure of the letter - you tell me if you'd send her some money on the basis of it's content: Introduction Complain Complain Complain Vote for me Oh, there's also an envelope enclosed for some vague purpose. Boy, that one just makes me want to get out the checkbook. I've said before that "you need to show the need and make the pitch." In this letter, there's no illustrating why we shoul...
