Well, here's the t-shirt idea I've been pondering for awhile...the back would be decorated with favorite Bush quotes from the past four years.

"It's a complicated world...vote for the smart guy."

First!

This is great --- we need a shirt to wear after all our anti-bush shirts become obsolete collector items (soon!)

Well, the Blue Oregon shirt certainly needs to have the blog address in some clear easy to read font, perhaps just below the state outline in blue letters.

Next, I like the motto "Where the Left is right" and some of the other great ones we hear on Air America. I also like the little mottos you have on the website in the upper right hand corner. You could use some of those mottos and it would be great by me.

Here are some other attempts:

It's the livability, stupid

Leading edge of the left coast

Where True is Blue

Land of Milk and Progress

Dude, Where's My Mail-in Ballot?

A River of Democrats Runs Through It

Water Cooler for the Cool

Thanks, Ginny

I actually kind of like your sample t-shirt (and Ginny's ideas as well).

Here are my other, um, "thoughts":

"Slog the Blog. BlueOregon.com"

"Blog, f*cker" (You know, Abercrombie and Fitch and Urban Outfitters would sell these)

"BlueOregon.com. We Love Bloggers. Oh, yeah, and dreamers. And all that other stuff."

"BlueOregon.com: the other white meat. Actually, kind of a left-wing red meat."

"Keiko's Dead. Time for BlueOregon.com"

"Lefty? Avoiding work? BlueOregon.com"

"A short history of Oregon: Lewis and Clark. The ballot initiative. The bottle bill. The beach bill. Urban growth boundaries. Assisted suicide. Medical marijuana. Vote by mail. BlueOregon.com (ok, well, we're working on it.)"

Or, "BlueOregon.com. Breaking news, and naked photos of Kari Chisholm."

Evan

I had a couple of what I thought were fairly clever ideas. And then I see what Evan, Ginny, and Rachel have come up with. Oy--what smarties. I've never let embarrassment deter me, however, so here they are:

"It's not Lon Mabon's Oregon any more."

"If Tom McCall were still alive, he'd be blogging at BlueOregon."

I'd spend fifteen bucks on several of those ideas (faves: "It's a complicated world...vote for the smart guy." "Water Cooler for the Cool." "Blog, F*cker"--though we'd have to apologize to the Bus for that last one.

Oh, and while we're on promotional items, I should alert you all to the article about Randy Leonard and his blogging habit in today's Tribune. BlueOregon gets a mention!

I'm not sure if this is nearly as clever as I think it is... but I like it. :-) (I also like Blog, f*cker. Just for the record)
