Well that was quick. President Obama's response to South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint's comment that the GOP could "break" Obama by debating health care reform has already made its way onto a made-in-the-USA, 100 percent cotton t-shirt. Now you have the perfect compliment to your Ivan Drago "I Must Break You" t-shirts. [via Gapers Block]

These t-shirts of Barack Obama in classic Clark Kent-to-Superman pose and President Bush as a vampire draining liberty of her life force — featuring original Alex Ross artwork — will only fan the flames of those of you who think Obama supporters are nothing more than brainwashed sheep and nothing we say will sway your opinion. We're not losing sleep over it, same as you.

In an email that went out to supporters yesterday, Hillary Clinton announced the conclusion of her "Project T-Shirt" contest.

In May, Chelsea announced our "Project T-Shirt" contest, and I never imagined we would have such an outpouring of support and great designs. We received almost five thousand amazing entries, and more than 125,000 of you voted for your favorite design.

El stops are looking pretty snazzy these days, which is all the more reason to be jazzed up about the one you call home.

Well, that was fast! Barely 24 hours ago, Japanese outfielder Kosuke Fukudome announced that he would leave Japan to play in the major leagues. Fukudome and the Cubs have already reached an agreement on a four-year deal, supposedly for between $48 and $50 million. By signing the outfielder, the Cubs beat out the Padres, White Sox and a couple other clubs rumored to be interested.

Listen up all you single residents of Chicago: Andy Eliason, of The Canadian, "Canada's new socially progressive and cross-cultural national newspaper," has some dating advice for you in his piece, "Things to do when you are single in Chicago." He says if you are single in Chicago, the first thing you need to do is "find someone else who happens to be single in Chicago, and you have to be willing to take the steps...

Let's keep the party going. The list continues! -That with Smoque, Honkey Tonk and relocated Honey1, we're finally getting some halfway decent BBQ in town within easy reach of the north side. - That we can know how most Chicago sports fans feel about a story simply by assuming it's the opposite of what Jay Mariotti thinks - That we won't be wasting more b-day money on Super Bowl t-shirts, Bears jerseys, etc. this...

The last two weeks, our Made in Chicago feature, about local artists and crafters, has brought you jewelry. Now, we bring you some crafty clothes to go with that Chicago skyline necklace. Amy DeVoogd ( it's Dutch, pronounced “deh-vogued”), 42, a drifter from Boston, MA to Charlottesville, VA, has settled as a Chicagoan since 2004. Her illustrations are bright contrasts of color that are both surprisingly simple and detailed. Her work has appeared in Playgirl,...

Grab your quirky t-shirts and head over to the Metro tonight to celebrate the grand opening of the first Threadless store at 3011 N. Broadway in Chicago. To really tee it up and kick it off right tonight, Threadless and Metro are bringing you two free shows. Tonight's lineup will feature Hey Mercedes, Anathallo, Freer and host Marcus Monroe.

About 17,000 union members, along with their friends and their families, filled the south end of Soldier Field for a debate, hosted by the AFL-CIO, among the Democratic contenders. A sweaty sea of union members in colored T-shirts, representing everyone from the Service Employees International Union to the United Steelworkers, from the AFSCME to the IUPAT, drank cold bottles of water and listened to Democrats talk about how their administration would work for working families,...

Chicagoist (this one, anyway) doesn't fancy ourself to be a music critic. We sometimes think the years we spent working "in the industry" may have caused us to prefer to keep our distance to avoid ruining all of our fun. But we do love music, obsessively so, and have been known to traipse all over the continent proving that fact. So when an internationally renowned music festival shows up in our backyard, there's not much...

- Y'all know we were under a flood watch today? Could've fooled us. - The Chicago Police department unsuccessfully tried to fire an officer for punching an elderly man in the face during a fender bender. Now that same officer is accused of doing nothing while fellow officers beat up patrons at Carol's Pub in January. - All those "It's Gonna Happen" t-shirts, hats, and wristbands being sold at Cubs games are the brainchild...

The Chicago Shamrox indoor lacrosse team will be hosting the New York Titans this Sunday at 3 p.m. at the Sears Centre. Prior to the game, the New York Police Department (NYPD) will take on the Fire Department of New York (FDNY) in a game of indoor lacrosse. The doors open at 11:30 a.m. with the benefit match taking place at noon followed by the Shamrox game at 3 p.m. There is a strong tradition...

Cheer up, Rex. You didn't win the big one last night, but soon some kid in Africa will think you did. A couple weeks ago, Reebok printed 288 championship T-shirts and hats for both the Colts and Bears to hand out during their postgame celebrations and become the instant must-have item for fans. The NFL then donates the losing team's schwag to a relief organization for developing nations. Never missing one second of a merchandising...

There was no late-night shopping for championship T-shirts on the way home from our Super Bowl party. We had our intended course home charted out — one that would give enough time for the delivery trucks to drop off the first of the Super Bowl Champs apparel by the time we passed the Sports Authority on the way home from a party in the 'burbs. But there was no need to stop, because the...

Honestly, we are having trouble thinking of anything other than the Bears. We don’t specifically attribute it to a one track mind; it is hard to ignore buildings, t-shirts, and cab drivers telling us Go Bears. We have something a little tame for you this weekend, other than that grab a Konig Ludwig Weiss or opt for the non-alchoholic Clausthaler and enjoy!

This time of year, many people are looking to weed the closet and clean out the garage to make room for the new pile of stuff they didn't really need acquired over the holidays. So, responding to an altruistic impulse, they decide to donate their old clothes, furniture, appliances, and toys. But that Salvation Army center with the nice workers who help unload the car is so far away. Hey there's a green collection box...

We’re pretty used to seeing T-shirts from online retailer Threadless all over the streets of Chicago. But within six months, impatient hipsters seeking cleverly designed gear will not only be able to give in to their need for immediate gratification, but also experience the company’s website in a decidedly offline way.

Yesterday we had an article on so-called "gifties" who lost what was undoubtedly a rigged t-shirt contest in 8th grade. Their response was an oh-so-clever statement on the injustice of losing a t-shirt contest, they made t-shirts. We may have found the answer to what happened to this group of "gifties" over the next four years. The Quality Counts 2007 study by Education Week indicates the weakness in our education system is, in large part, due to a lack of connection from one level of grade school to the next. We aren't quite sure why a study is needed to identify this, it is pretty common knowledge that every kid everywhere is scared shitless when they enter the 6th and 9th grades. But, the study shows us a lot of valuable data about our own state, which I must say is ranked a not so shabby 12th.

It's been four years since the "Gifties" at Beaubien School lost a T-shirt contest at their school, which caters to both gifted students ("Gifties") and regular students (apparently, "Tards"). And this pack of smart kids has spent four years taking their case all the way to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Self-mockery and political incorrectness are the perfect backdrop to any giving effort. And, both are present at the seventh annual Indo Jew Bowl football game in Skokie. What started in 2000 as a friendly Thanksgiving Day game has become an annual competition and fundraising event.

On such a democratic day as this, in which we gather as a country to elect our political leaders, we found another referendum for you to chime in on. It’s November, so along with leaves, smear campaigns and turkey calls, this month also brings with it the annual resurrection of McDonald’s McRib Sandwich. And just like last year, McTrans has created a McRib Farewell Tour Web site, complete with a “Save the McRib” petition.

Naked Raygun made a “surprise” appearance at Subterranean last Saturday night, although the surprise was thinly veiled at best. Word spread quickly in the weeks before, and the result was that both levels of Subterranean were packed to the bursting point with rabid fans both new and old. This was the one chance “regular folk” were going to have a chance to see Naked Raygun play in a room this size in, well, forever, so folks were suitably amped for the experience.

Sure, this city's sports scene is all Bears, all the time right now, but Chicagoist can find a way to make you care about the World Series. As Tommy Lasorda has been telling that poor Cubs fan up in the tree "since his team was eliminated from the postseason" in those playoff promos (they should have done some fact-checking on that one though--what, he's been up there since May?), it doesn't matter who's in the...

Chicagoist likes to think we’re still young and a little hip, but news about young adult shopping trends and department stores has left us scratching our head. Sure, we lamented the loss of Marshall Fields, but, truth be told, we never shopped there. Same goes for most other department stores. So it doesn't surprise us when they close.

A good party deserves a sequel, which is why the guys behind TECH cocktail 1 hosted another round. Thanks to Frank Gruber and Eric Olson, TECH cocktail 1 – a social and networking event for technology and business professionals – drew more than 200 guests the first time around.

Yesterday's Bonoprah event at the Michigan Avenue Gap might have been a bust, but it won't be the last time Chicagoans will be seeing red. The talk show queen and the world's rockingest philanthropist were supposed to appear yesterday as part of the Product Red campaign, which involves a number of big-name brands organized to fight AIDS in Africa. Along with Gap's new line of Red t-shirts, Motorola introduced a new red Razr phone, and...

If you missed the global sports extravaganza that was the Gay Games this summer (see, we've already *had* an Olympics, people!), you can still get in on a part of the action. To wrap things up and to clean out the closet, the organizers are having a mega garage sale. What might you find at this garage sale, you ask? "Items available for sale will include country and state banners used in the Opening and...
