The $100 undershirt

"Faded Flower 7"

1. This Gilt thing

I signed up for this Gilt thing. It's supposed to be snooty retailers at a discount.
The spam is hysterical, and the companies and products are a little, um, unconventional.

• Blinde eyewear - blind the "e" is silent eyewear. Cmon. You can't be serious. I think I read somewhere that Blinde is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Paraplegic Running Shoes, Inc.
• Equmen underwear -  the home of the $100 undershirt. $109, actually. See?

Well, the undershirt makes Blinde's $200 glasses look the Walmart of snooty fashion.
I don't think I'm Gilt's target audience. Ha!

2. Global REALLY warming

President Obama, through his own extensive scientific research, has concluded that wildfires in Texas are being caused by global warming.

QOTD

"You've got a governor whose state is on fire denying climate change. It's true."
- President Obama, gov directed at repub gov of TX, usatoday link

Jeez, it ain't easy being a global warming dude these days. I mean you gotta be pretty worried by now, right? Al Gore. Global warming causing wildfires. And tsunamis. And East Coast tropical storms. And earthquakes. And cold winters. It's a bad joke at this point. A punch line.

Speaking of bad jokes.

Dear President Obama,
This news blurb today for you.
