There is more to life than politics, although our current round of civil servants may disagree with us. We can actually enjoy life on our own, with out the help or hindrance of those in political power. Why no laugh a little, and brighten someone else’s day in the process. We love our country, and want everyone to be prosperous.
A good way to stay positive is to laugh at yourself and to laugh at the situations occurring around you. Have a good laugh, then spread it around. We’re all for everyone having a good time.
The Recession Blues We here at Blurt Shirts hope that change is coming soon for the American economy. Do we expect our beloved elected officials to make things better for us? No, not really. They can make it worse, but we don’t believe they will make it better.
Hence, it is up to us! We know things can get better, so Blurt Shirts is taking this opportunity to poke a little fun at the current economic issue in the way that musicians know best: singing the blues! When all else fails, wail, baby! We invite you to join us as we laugh a little – just a little – about the current situation and do our best to help the economy turn things around.
You know that we at Blurt Shirts could do politics 24x7. It’s just that easy, but it’s not our life. But...if it is now unpatriotic to oppose the current regime, Blurt Shirts had to say something about it. In our typical, sarcastic tone, Blurt Shirts released its growing line of “Dissent is Patriotic” shirts. If you don’t read the shirts closely, you may misunderstand. But that, again, is our subtle use of sarcasm to get the point across.
When people read your “Dissent is Patriotic” shirt, it should cause them to do a double take. That is when you'll know that the point is hitting home.

Many cities’ sports teams have winning traditions. Just look at Boston, with the Celtics, Patriots and Red Sox. Or Pittsburgh, with the Steelers. Or Detroit, with the Red Wings. Okay, maybe Detroit qualifies for the “championship exception”, since their other sports teams can’t find their own way to the field, diamond, or court.
Then there are other cities, whose teams just can’t get to the playoffs, or have an up-year followed by a down-year. Others consistently have their hearts broken…year, after year, after year. Blurt Shirts is based in one of those cities – Cleveland, OH. We root for the home team, even if it kills us. We brag about having the #1 pick in the draft, as though it is some high honor. We hope and dream for that mid-year signing of some prima donna superstar, all for the eternally out of reach championship season.
Yes, we will continue to root for the home teams. The Cavs might win it all for us Clevelanders. Or they might just give us the next term for failure, following “The Drive”, “The Fumble”, “The Shot”, and “Red Right 88”. But we will bleed our team’s colors, anyway.
No, I’m not talking about the Grammys or the Emmys. I’m talking about emotional feel-good approaches that many congregations are taking to profess their faith. You know, the ones who claim you’re not a Christian if you haven’t had a mountaintop experience?
Have no fear! Confessional Lutherans must lead the most boring worship services in the whole world. But they’re only boring if you are looking to be entertained. If you are looking for law and gospel, grace and redemption, that’s a whole different story.
Did you survive those snowstorms that ravaged a good bit of the country earlier this month? Not only was it snowy, but it was extremely cold as well. And news is that polar ice is increasing in volume.
Hmm…didn’t Al Gore say something about global warming? With the number of professional skeptics growing, it’s kind of hard to believe it any more, if you believed it at all.
We at Blurt Shirts didn’t believe it anyway. The hype was too much; the groupthink, way too prevalent. We could have handled incremental improvements in things like emissions, living standards, etc., but this “carbon footprint” hypocrisy was just too funny to let it slip on by. So enjoy the new line of Global Warming shirts. They’ll make sure you stay warm all year round, no matter where you live.
If you're here, then you know it already. The Blurt Shirts website and blog are up and running! Not only will the site contain a shirt design gallery, but this blog will contain the monthly newsletter and other blog commentary. Most of the "other commentary" will be, well, blurts. Nothing long, but certainly not superficial. We at Blurt Shirts are looking forward to reading your comments.
2. The next big election is not in 2012
After President Obama was sworn in and sworn at, you probably wanted to take a break from politics. Au contraire! This is when the big dogs step up to the plate. Four hundred sixty-eight of our five hundred thirty-five Congressmen are up for re-election in 2010, and I say, “Fire them all!” After all, there are 535 of them, and millions of us. I think we can take them!
So here we are, January 2009 with our eyes toward the future. The lawmakers are the real bozos, and the ones that need to be replaced. Blurt Shirts will help you spread the word convincingly with its line of The Solution 2010 designs. After all, its Congress that writes law, not the President, thus it is Congress that needs the ax.
Did you hate W? We’re fine with that. Do you already hate 44? That’s okay, too. Don’t wait four years to make a difference; plan on making a difference in 2010. And let everyone know it!
A season of hope, of change, of…playoffs? Yes, that is what I hoped would happen for my favorite NFL franchise, the Cleveland Browns. The world knows what happened. The team had great expectations to start the year, only to fall flat on their faces and get raked through the mud. Hope springs eternal for Browns fans; it always does. Change followed in the form of a displaced and replaced head coach, and a displaced (and soon to be replaced) General Manager.
Does that mean I think the team will improve next year? I don’t know, I got my crystal ball off the discount rack at WalMart; it works as well as Braylon Edwards catches passes. I do know my team has higher draft picks than 80% of the teams in the league. Maybe the new GM will make a good choice or two…or five.
Had enough of politics? New designs in the sports and Lutheran lines will be released within the month!
