Today in Election T-Shirts: The D.I.Y. Sarah Palin Project

Over at this week's WW endorsements , readers can't wait to get their hands on T-shirts bearing the Palin putdown that graces WW 's cover. But a tee produced by CafePress runs a cool $18, plus shipping.

Wanna spout your politics across the front of your chest but don't wanna spend big bucks?

We have just the crafty project for you!

Fred Meyer on Interstate (7404 N Interstate Ave.) is selling "Election 2008" T-shirts.

Better yet, they' re on sale for half-price (just $9.99! ).

By the time we'd got there on Tuesday night though they'd already sold out on all of the Obama "Yes We Can" tees .

But strangely enough they still had plenty of McCain and Palin T-shirts left on the rack :



That got us to thinking.

Rather than race around town trying to find the last of the Obama tees, couldn't we just take one of the Palin T-shirts and re-configure it to more closely resemble our voting choices?

Here is our D.I.Y. Sarah Palin T-shirt Project in Five E-Z Steps:


STEP ONE : Find a cute intern willing to wear T-shirt for a " Before" photo:



STEP TWO : Take a close-up that shows how much Sarah Palin looks like a naughty librarian :


STEP THREE : Give someone with halfway decent penmanship a big, fat Sharpie and let them scribble in your desired message.


S TEP FOUR: We chose "BACK TO ALASKA" :


STEP FIVE : Ask cute intern if they would be willing to wear it again for the " AFTER" photo. Notice how much happier he looks!


Shout-out to the crafty person who has enough balls to sneak it back onto the racks of Fred Meyer.
