He's 6'2" 230 lbs. long haired with a goatee and moustache - but no tattoos. He's also the type that is friends with Republicans no matter what kind of biased shit they throw his way.

Me, on the other hand, would pick a fight then fight dirty, even though I am a short obese woman. Since my husband convinced me to be political I have trended more and more left and since 2000 I will not make nice to Republicans.

When you find out where your son got the shirt, please post the info for us!
