Deadspin
As we continue to attempt to come to terms with the loss of Gilbert Arenas from the upcoming playoff months, we turn, as always, to Wizznutzz to help us through the night.
Fresh hot and ready, it's Obama-Arenas 2008 campaign shirts: A campaign team that could change the way you think about politics.
Show your support for the only campaign that promises to:
-Legislate the No Snub Left Behind Act.
-Promote universal health care.
-Pardon Chico DeBarge
-Pursue alternative energies incentives: offer bacon grease subsidies.
-Offer comprehensive immigration reform: illegal immigrants can fast-track their citizenship by defeating Homeland Security Czar DeShawn Stevenson in a 3-point shooting competition, an initiative that will be dubbed: "I Want To Feel The Face of Freedom."
-Redecorate the Oval Office as an exact replica of the Lt. Castillo office set from Miami Vice.
-Annex Wheaton Plaza. Crush the resistance movement by cutting off edible underpants supply to Spencer Gifts.
Can the McCain/McIlvaine ticket promise you all that?!
No. It absolutely cannot. So get the shirts and join the party.

Where is my Hilary/Vivian Stringer shirt?
I'm still backing the Alex P. Keaton candidacy put forth by Snorg Tees.
He is too busy watching all the Batman movies, all 3 Xmen movies and training for his Halo team
F'ing brilliant. Best regards to the Hams!
I bet Obama can't hit a three to save his life.
or, support a legitimate ticket: http://www.cafepress.com/gore_obama
Sheer madness, and therefore, awesome. It might be tough getting electoral support from the District, though, being that they can't vote and all. Taxation without Representation, baby!
@Nationalcoholic:
Mark Mallory is going to be the Chief of Staff.
Ordered my shirt this morning. Nothing but brilliance from Darvin, Dana, and co.
I'm burning a Shawn Bradley/Romney garment as we speak.
@SlickBomb: we can vote we just don't have representation on the Hill.
I'm holding out for the Xavier McDaniel/Wes Clark ticket.
First order of business for Obama/Arenas:
Pardon Lonny Baxter for that whole "shooting at the White House" thing.
Obama/Guillen would be awesome.
Still waiting for my Kucinich/Ilgauskas shirt.
@Unsilent Majority: If you call that voting.
Not a bad platform, but I don't get the Chico pardon. That one collabo on Na Na was good, but other than that ...
OBAMA/ARENAS '08 supports the adoption of a new national flag, featuring a portrait of themselves alongside a topless local prostitute.
I'd like to see a Perrot/Cuban ticket.
Now, as you know, there's a lot of talk about a black Vice-President, and I want to tell the world that it's not gonna happen. As long as you live, you will never see a black Vice-President. You know why? 'Cause some black guy will just kill the President, that's why. I would do it!
My support is fully behind the Guliani/Jawroski ticket. Rudy will have a clear advantage when the debates come along, with information gathered from all of his opponent's public appearances being reseached by Jaws in his video room. He'll be expecting Obama's blitz for sure!
Gilbet Arenas is Gummie bearish on the stock market.

Barney Frank / John Amaeche shirts now offered in pink at ####.com
@supermike3: I can't believe you said "Gore" and "legitimate ticket" in the same sentence.
A hibachi in every yard.
At this point, it's obvious that Arenas is for universal health care.
@Swellesley: go here... http://www.wizznutzz.com/2007/01/loyal-readers-will-know-w...
@Ron: yeah, he shoulda put up a bigger fight when he won in 2000.
but, he is now a famous and respected oscar winner, he was right all along - from the beginning - about the Retarded Iraq War, he is the champion of what is becoming a leading domestic issue and, unlike Obama, he gots mad experience in public office.
What is the code to play as Obama in NBA Jam?
Only if Paul Shirley can be hired as a speechwriter. Obama saying the word "douche" would just sound so much more regal.
@supermike3: How does winning an Oscar make you more respected than being Vice President?
@Ron: We've got to stop ManBearPig somehow.
@ArkansasFred: Learn your US history. It is more likely that some black guy would kill the black vice president.
Just ask Ice Cube
@2ndBase:
for serial
@Ron: How does winning an Oscar make you more respected than being Vice President?
Talk about something that needs to be put on a t-shirt...
Vote Quimby
@2ndBase: I'm super, super cereal.
@MitchKayak: Damn you, Kayak
@Ron: i think you may have read that wrong.
what i mean is, he's riding a wave of popularity that really no politician has right now (except maybe Obama - certainly not McCain or Rudy or Hillary, who seem to be going in the other direction) due to becoming an oscar winner.
he is a respected oscar winner. just like John Cougar Mellancamp.
i'm hoping that Kennedy/Pacman ticket comes together. "Teddy and the Pacman - Making It Rain in America"
@supermike3: I'd rather elect Oscar winner Forrest Whitaker (as Idi Amin!)
@LenDalesFupa: he knows all there is to know about the crying game...
@supermike3:
Well, if "respected Oscar winners" can run, how about a Cuba Gooding, Jr./Halle Berry platform? Instead of "Hail to the Chief", the Three Six Mafia can play that piece of crap song about how hard it is for pimps.
I'd like to take this opportunity to say that Bill Simmons, in his latest column about the NBA MVP, has officially become unreadable.
@supermike3: I just don't see how winning a documentary Oscar translates into a wave of popularity with Joe Average Voter. They look at him and all they see is the boring guy who mouth-humped his wife on TV and lost to Bush.
Ehh. i'm waiting for my Ralph Nader/Adonal Foyle sweatshirt.
What is this serious political discussion nonsense?
Buttsex!
Whew. That was close.
@Spectator: I couldn't even finish it.
@Ron: Spiro Agnew vs. Marisa Tomei.
@BoSox Siobhan: With 12-year-olds? (presenting the meme that would not die)
By the way, that's El DeBarge Pequeño to you.
@Ron: and who do you see as a legitimate candidate - from either political party?
What is up with the random Wheaton Plaza hate? They just lost a vote.
@Ron:
That meme's got legs, fellas!
@BoSox Siobhan: Says the commenter with three U.S. Presidents in her avatar.
@Ron: Well then you missed a truly great moment. He gave the NBA MVP award to us, the fans, for putting up with a lame NBA season.
He should have given it to us, his readers, for putting up with a lame NBA season and about 20 of his lame columns on the Celtics.
Not to draw this out, but can you even imagine if the flagship writer on the WWL constantly wrote columns about the Detroit Lions? Would you read any of that?
@supermike3: I couldn't honestly tell you, because it's as much interparty politics as it is anything else. I know Hillary has made a ton of enemies in the Democratic party over the years, so I'm thinking it'll be Obama (who doesn't have enough experience, but in comparison to John Edwards looks like Henry Clay).
As for the Republicans, McCain is very much a Hillary-style polarizer. Guiliani has a lot of experience being in charge of large things, and he plays the game well, but he's not exactly the most conservative Republican out there. He'll have to move to the right to keep the religious on his side. I think he's got enough positive press with the Mysterious Center to pull the nomination (unless some crazy shit comes to light, in which all bets are off).
So, basically, none of them?
@Unsilent Majority: an unlikely pair in my mind, Chico and Strickland, but fascinating. any reason hes friends with Chico and not El or somebody, or should I just read the book?
@BoSox Siobhan: So do you, baby (I hope, though if one of them has been chewed off by zombies and replaced with a machine gun, so much the better).
@LenDalesFupa: That NBA MVP award will look great next to my Time Man of the Year honor.
@Ron: like his penchant for cross-dressing? donald trump rubbing his face in Rudy's boobs?
again, i look at Gore and see the former 2X Vice President of the U.S., the current champion of a leading domestic issue (which Kerry is trying to horn in on now), a ridiculously effective fund raiser in his own party, a guy who has loosened way up since 2000, a guy who WON the popular vote in 2000 but had the presidency wrestled away from him by a few Florida republicans (thanks again, Ohio!), and the one guy who was opposed to and on the record against the Retarded Iraq War of Meaninglessness and Depletion of Resources and Lives from get-go. Plus, the Oscar win and the film (i haven't seen it) have kept him in the spotlight not only politically, but in circles outside of politics, as well.
i believe he is the strongest candidate, i think he will decide to run late in the process (because he can), and i think he'll win the nomination and run with Obama as VP, and I think he will win the election.
@Yostal:
Those aren't Presidents, they're nightmare fuel.
Hydrocephalic nightmare fuel. You can't tell in that picture, but I'm drunker than a monkey. That's the only way I would get near them
@supermike3: I don't know anyone who has ever seen his film, and while he might be the best candidate for the job, I don't sense a rush to embrace him on the part of the Democrats. I think they're just wanting to get as far away from 2000 as they can (and rightfully so, because it dragged them down in 2004).
@supermike3: a guy who WON the popular vote in 2000 but had the presidency wrestled away from him by a few Florida republicans
darn electoral college and its constitu
