I think I’m over the election now. Maybe

By Mike Jasper

Here’s the problem — I thought we would win.

I did not take it well. Beto lost and the Republicans retained the U.S. Senate. Man, I hate to lose.

Sure, the Democrats took the House, and that prevented a total wash, but I was still expecting more. I was hoping to hear the last of Ted Cruz, but no, he’s still around. Quieter and sporting a beard, but still extant as a U.S. Senator from Texas, albeit drowned out by the detritus spewing from the mouth and fingers of fat Donny.

We still have T-shirts though. Collector’s items now I guess. You can get them on our eBay site, specifically at https://tinyurl.com/TTBshirts.

Yeah. I took Beto’s loss hard — I really thought we would win. Maybe 2020 is the year.

Turn Texas Blue soft T-shirts coming

In fact, they are here:

Why not?
Blogs are nice, especially when you have contributions from outstanding writers such as authors Mary Carouba and James Moore. But money behind causes really make them spin.

And besides … T-shirts look cool and everyone can always use another one.

So — since we’re making this up was we go along — what do you think? White or black? For now, that’ll be the only choice. And for now, men’s size large will also be the only choice.

All T-shirts will have the Turn Texas Blue logo on the front.

Price will be $19.95 and $4.95 for shipping. If you live in Austin and can come pick up, no shipping.

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Is anyone interested in this? If so, let us know by emailing mail@turntexasblue.com and writing, “Yeah, where can I get these?” or words to that effect.

If we get enough responses — we’re not exactly sure what “enough responses” is … say ten? — then we’ll email you back and let you know where you can order them.

We’re thinking eBay at the moment.

But first things first — email us at mail@turntexasblue.com and let us know you’re interested. If you have any suggestions, send those along as well. Even if the suggestion is telling us where to stick our T-shirts.

Cheers.
