Hail, hail Whiggy Tease.

As we were reminded in our last info-blog post, Watergate didn’t seem to bother Gerald Ford all that much. We’re coming up on the anniversary of his speech pardoning Nixon, you know?

This got us thinking about current events. Ford’s alma mater, the University of Michigan, has been in the news recently regarding allegations that their new football coach makes the boys practice more than what the NCAA allows.

What would Gerald Ford have to say about this if he were still alive? Well, we reckon he’d be quite forgiving. He’d say something like, “it’s only football,” or “everyone does it,” or perhaps “boys will be boys.”

Or, perhaps he’d say “Practice makes perfect.”

Yes, just in time for the Michigan vs. Notre Dame game, it’s Whiggy Tease’s latest Gerald Ford item. Ford, in his glory days as an All-American center for the Maize and Blue with the slogan “Practice Makes “Perfect” in something pretty close to the official Michigan font, but not close enough to upset our legal team.

If you order by Tuesday morning, you can have it in time for Saturday’s big game. This item, like all our Ford items, is available in our Gerald Ford store.

But wait, there’s more.

In addition to t-shirts and tank tops, we also have tote bags…

Messenger bags…

And coasters, for your post game celebration. ..

Buy in the next couple of days and you'll have your swag in time for Saturday's big game. While you are at it, forward this link to every Michigan fan you know.

Does your conscience bother you? TELL THE TRUTH!

Do you know why Tuesday is important?

Tuesday, Whiggy Tease Nation, is September 8th – the anniversary of the day that President Gerald Ford addressed our nation to tell us that he was giving Richard Nixon an unconditional pardon.



Most of the nation screamed with agony during the speech, thus missing what we feel was the most critical passage of the address. Ford told the nation flat out that “Watergate does not bother me.”

Then Ford changed his tone to a questioning, almost accusatory one. “Does your conscience bother you?” he asked/challenged his fellow Americans.

The few who were done screaming over the pardon then probably screamed anew, but this time, “No, idiot, my conscience does not bother me.”

To which Ford challenged us again. “Tell the truth,” he insisted.

It was almost lyrical. That's why we had to make a shirt about it.




Truth be told, this shirt is one of our favorites in the entire Whiggy Tease line. You should buy it today.
