Got a Free T-Shirt

The Democratic National Committee is wasting no time in their constant haranguing of people to support the organization. Here it is not even a week from the party's triumph, they have just put out an e-mail that offers anyone contributing $30 or more a 2008 commemorative election T-Shirt.

Hey, the Chinese and other countries that still actually produce real things need the labor.

Don't underestimate the lure such a seemingly humble garment. I was walking through Times Square a few years ago, and there was a line of muttonheads stretching around the block for a free premiere of some wretched and long-forgotten movie.

The crowd was getting restless, so whatever firm that was handling the circus decided to give away, that's right, the ultimate gift - free T-Shirts

The crowd went wild, with people in line shouting out and flailing their arms. "Oooh, free T-shirt, over here, over here!" You would have thought that they were giving away bricks of gold bullion.

As for the DNC, go back to pumping Hollywood and Upper East Side socialites for money. Their nannies might look good in those shirts.
