An alert Whiggy Tease fan in Chicago has alerted us to the fact that Joe Wilson is not the first to heckle a President during an address to Congress. He’s the first man, however.
Or better yet, a yard sign. Every fall, or every other fall, there’s an election where you live. Your neighbors will have signs up for the statewide casino issue, or the gay marriage proposal, or some candidate for city council. Shake things up on your street by planting this sign in your front yard.
Our profit margin on the yard sign is only $1, because we are very amused by the thought of your neighbor driving by this sign and trying to figure it out.
So there you go. More swag on the YOU LIE theme tomorrow, and probably the day after that, until we beat this horse to death.
That’s right. The ladies beat him to it by over 90 years.
According to an Associated Press story…
The most famous disruption of a presidential address in the House chamber occurred on Dec. 5, 1916, when woman protesters unfurled a yellow and black banner over the railing in the House galleries that read, "President Wilson, What Will You Do For Woman Suffrage?"
Although the women sat silently, their banner heckled the president. The president kept on reading his speech, but the banner diverted public attention and captured the headlines. The banner was eventually pulled down by a pageboy sitting on a staff member's shoulders.
“You need to Whiggy Tease this,” we were informed.
Consider ourselves informed. And consider your request granted…
Yes, it’s the first ever Whiggy Tease banner. 42inches long, it says exactly what the Wilson protesters said. You can take it the next time you go to see a speech in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Perhaps that doesn’t fit your budget or your lifestyle.
Okay, how about a poster?

Of course, here at Whiggy Tease, we like to dance with the girl we took to the dance. Meaning, t-shirts are our business, so let’s stick with what works…
So there you go. More swag on the YOU LIE theme tomorrow, and probably the day after that, until we beat this horse to death.
