Hand-Screened T-shirts

Vintage music T-shirts are everywhere these days. It still kind of cracks me up to see a teenager wearing at Led Zeppelin or Dark Side of The Moon shirt! Anyway, if you are craving a unique, hand-screened t-shirt made from found art, my friend Dan Speca can deliver. To check out his wares, click here. Below is an example of his work. These hand-crafted shirts are only $14.99... a great deal.

John Stewart interviews Brian Williams. This is hilarious. Click here.

Steven Colbert interviews Mike Huckabee. Huckabee is so likable. Click here.

Sarah Pales in Comparison

We know by now that Sarah Palin is not very green-minded. I recently found some interesting facts about her on The Big Green Purse Blog. 

Even if it Says it's From Snopes, Check Snopes

There's an email going around that's purporting to be from Snopes. It says that those lists where you add your name as well as online petitions are merely ways for ne'er-do-wells to get your emai laddress and send you spam.
