Wow, you guys, we’ve got bombshells going off left and right!

Scott McClellan says W. is a lying, drunken idiot!

Todd Purdham says Bubba is a narcissistic cheater!

My mind! Consider her fully blown.

That hormonal birth control isn’t available over-the-counter is beyond insane and infuriating.

I need permission from a third party before I can have sex without having a baby.

That, my friends, is so very many levels of fucked up.

So, Nike owns Converse. Converse sneakers are made in sweatshops. Plus they fall apart real quick. Like, in less than a month the inside part where my heel goes disintegrates.

Instead, wear No Sweat sneakers, like I do. They’re not made in sweatshops (they’re made in a unionized Indonesian factory where the workers have like, health insurance and pensions and paid maternity leave and shit I don’t even get despite also not working in a sweatshop), and they’re eco-friendly or whatever, and vegetarian, which is super gay, but also nice to cows, I guess. I got mine at Moo Shoes, which is a vegan shoestore. Lots of vegan shoes are also fair trade/ sweatshop-free shoes, so if you really want ethical footwear, you might want to ask around your local loony bin place where vegans are.

Best part, though? They’re *cheaper* than Chucks. Really. I know, it’s nuts.

No Sweats. They totally say “NO SWEAT” on the back, instead of “ALL STAR”, which is awesome, because I like to be as openly and loudly self-righteous as possible at all times, which is totally why I’m going to like, get a tattoo of Lenin hugging an unvaccinated humpback whale while driving an electric car and eating grass-fed organic beef.) $40 plus S&H:

Awesome.

Chucks (good fucking luck finding a pair of just plain solid black canvas sneakers, btw. Everything they make have to have flaps and whistles and extra tongues and lights and deer whistles and bottle-openers.) $41.00 at Converse.com, plus S&H:

The part where my heels go falls apart!

Or you could be kind of a douche and spend $90 on a pair of Blackspots, which is nuts, IMO. Also they sort of look like a little child designed them. And the toes are real wide, like clown-shoes. (I’m still totes gonna buy a pair, though.)

Clownshoes?!

Seriously, though, if you wear Chucks, you should stop and wear No Sweats instead. They also come in high tops, and sometimes in other colors, and they also have t-shirts and sweatshirts and all sorts of things that are made by people who aren’t essentially slaves.
