Woodrow Wilson: History's Worst Monster?

Once a week, all work comes to a halt at the Whiggy Tease World Headquarters when our local alternative paper hits the streets. If your alternative paper is anything like our alternative paper, and we suspect it is, it includes the popular alternative comic strip “This Modern World” by Tom Tomorrow.

Here is a link to Mr. Tomorrow’s latest effort.

The last panel reminded us of something we had blocked out.

Glenn Beck hates Woodrow Wilson as no other semi-rational American does. Beck probably does consider Wilson to be one of History’s Greatest Monsters, if he doesn’t consider him to actually be History’s Greatest Monster.

Which leads us to our latest Whiggy Tease item. Are you in the Target Audience for our latest product? Perhaps you let Glenn Beck do your thinking for you, and you do actually believe that Woodrow Wilson is History’s Greatest Monster. If so, you're in the Tartet Audience.

Or, perhaps you think Glenn Beck is nuts, and thus, the notion that Wilson is HGM is nuts to you – but you like to wear nutty and ironic t-shirts. If so, you too are in the Target Audience.

So, now that we’ve cast a net around 99% of all Americans…

… it’s our Woodrow Wilson: History’s Greatest Monster shirt.

It’s perfect for you, it’s perfect for your brother-in-law who loves Glenn Beck, it’s perfect for, frankly, just about everyone.

But wait, there’s more. We also have keepsake boxes, ceramic coasters, framed tiles, water bottles, hoodies for kids and much, much more.

It’s all available in the Woodrow Wilson store. Start shopping.

Obama not the first to be heckled during speech to Congress? Whiggy Tease is on it.

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.

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?

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.

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.
