Ladies and gentlemen, please rise for the Supreme Coasters.

We here at Whiggy Tease reckon that when most attorneys gaze upon themselves in the mirror, they see a future U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice looking back at them. It’s probably the same for judges and the majority of law professors.

We assume this phenomenon is even more likely to occur when alcohol is involved.

Having said all that, what do you get your favorite attorney, judge or law professor for Christmas or an upcoming birthday? Or perhaps as a graduation gift? Is there something Whiggy Tease could do for you?

Oh yes there is.

You may approach, and you may start buying the well-focus grouped Supreme Coasters. We have lovely tile coasters of all seventeen – or eighteen, depending on how you view history – Supreme Court Chief Justices in American history.

Listen to this red hot rhetoric from our vendor: Liven up any room or party with our fun, hip tile coasters, measuring 4.25” x 4.25” and 1/6-inch thick. Images are applied with a polyester resin that accepts dye as part of the coating. Four felt pads protect your furniture from scratches. Dishwasher safe. Not for use with abrasive cups and mugs.

You probably shouldn’t be using abrasive cups and mugs, anyway.

We designed these with beer in mind, but Attorney Mike A. had this suggestion: "If you've ever wanted to apply steaming hot liquids to the face of your least favorite jurist, here is your chance!"

So there you go. Buy them because you have a Chief Justice you love, or buy them for those you hate. Either way, your money is good with us.

There have been seventeen men who wanted to be Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. Then there was William Cushing. He had no interest in the job, but President George Washington appointed him to Chief Justice… or tried to appoint him.

Cushing turned him down. While he liked being on the Supreme Court, he didn’t want the Top Job. Some folks feel Cushing was actually Chief for three days before he realized it or got around to quitting. Others feel since he never accepted, he was never really Chief.

It’s a great topic to discuss over beer with your law buddies. See how this works?

The Mount Rushmore of Christmas sales.



Avoid “Black Friday” at the big box stores like you would avoid The Black Death of 1348. Stay at home, watch football and eat delicious turkey sandwiches.

What about Christmas shopping? You can do it all right now, on-line, at Whiggy Tease. And like those silly big boxes, we are having insane sales to lure you in. In fact, you could call this next 48 Hour Sale the Mount Rushmore of Christmas sales.

We’re honoring the four Presidents on Mount Rushmore with a big sale on their Christmas tree ornaments. We’re all but giving the ornaments away. You’d be a fool – a damn fool – not to buy these ornaments today.

Thomas Jefferson…

Teddy Roosevelt…

and of course, Abraham Lincoln…


But wait, there’s more.

That’s right, we’re also honoring a President who SHOULD be on Mount Rushmore, but isn’t. Yet…

Yes, we’ve reduced the price of our James K. Polk ornament, but only for the next 48 hours.

WHAT? What’s so great about James K. Polk? Are you mad?

Listen up. In four short years, he accomplished every goal. He seized the whole southwest from Mexico. Made sure the tariffs fell, and made the English sell the Oregon territory. He built an independent treasury! Having done all this, he sought no second term. But precious few have mourned the passing of Mr. James K. Polk, our eleventh president.

Of course, people will celebrate President Polk by purchasing his ornament and displaying it proudly on their Christmas tree. And when President Barack Obama issues a declaration mandating Polk’s inclusion on Mount Rushmore. Just you wait.

This sale must end Sunday.
