Anti-Bush Gifts Hot for Christmas

Plamegate, plummeting approval ratings, rising gas prices, ongoing war in Iraq, the housing bubble about to burst. Liberals and others opposed to the failing policies of the Bush administration are putting their money where their mouths are this Christmas season. Online websites such as Scarebaby Design (www.scarebaby.com) are gearing up for a hot Christmas season of t-shirts, mugs, magnets and stocking stuffers that spread the word that it's time for the country to take a different direction. At Scarebaby Design, the hottest items include colorful t-shirts with sentiments such as "Impeach Bush and Cheney", "Dumb and Dumber", and "Dick Cheney - Dishonest and Reprehensible".

Internet Christmas shopping grows more popular every year. It appeals because it saves on gas,the customer doesn't have to fight crowds, selection is enormous and expanding, and small businesses and artists such as Scarebaby can compete on a level playing field with the big boys. And many Internet retailers — including CafePress, the giant online mall of which Scarebaby Design is a part — are offering incentives such as free shipping on orders over $50.

Who needs the mall these days, when you have the more convenient and diversified Internet?
