I really should have been working on this website all weekend—still no links?!?—but something more important got in the way. (A long-planned snowboarding weekend with my seven year-old.) Still, the ITMFA mailbag is full, and there seems to be a lot of interest out there—and not just in the buttons and lapel pins that I will shortly be selling via this website.

Thanks for mentioning the shirts and linking to them. So far there have been almost 100 orders for 150 shirts. I've added more shirts, including a babydoll, a baseball jersey, a black t-shirt, and a longsleeve. In addition, there are stickers and hats. If people go to the storefront, they'll see all the ITMFA stuff, here: http://www.cafepress.com/gekkoz

This seems to have struck a chord.

Thanks,

Trevor

Some folks have a problem with Trevor's T-shirts: the upside down flag rankles, as it seems somehow disrespectful, as if being against the president requires us to be against the flag and that there's something anti-patriotic about despising the George W. Bush. Larry writes...

The links from impeachthemotherfuckeralready.com to cafepress lead to ITMFA products on which the flag is depicted upside-down.

In case you're looking for comments: I consider this a terrible mistake. It conflates the impeachment drive with the oldstyle counterculture in a way that just makes it easier for the right-wing to vilify and dismiss. The people calling for impeachment are NOT anti-flag, or upside-down flag, or anything of the sort—they want to DEFEND the flag and what it stands for.

I strongly suggest that ITMFA disassociate itself from upside-down flags.

But displaying a flag upside down is actually a legit distress signal , and if Americans are anything at all right now we're distressed. Not everyone will want an upside down flag on their ITMFA items, though, and I'm not sure I would wear one—wouldn't want to be misunderstood. So that's why the lapel pins we'll be selling soon feature a right side up flag. Like so, Larry:

In other ITMFA developments, Jessica sent in this picture of her homemade ITMFA button—which looks very fetching on her, I must say.

Until we get our official ITMFA gear in, I'm encouraging people to make their own ITMFA merch. Here's another good example of homemade ITMFA gear from a reader named Josh:

Looking good, Josh!

In other ITMFA news, Andy is doing what he can to spread the meme on his blog .

And last but certainly not least, the good folks at www.freewayblogger.com have offered to get get behind ITMFA:

Hi Dan, glad to see ITMFA up and running. Here's what we've been up to in terms of getting the word out. Let me know if you'd like some ITMFAs done... it'd be a pleasure.
