So where can you get your ITMFA gear, DFTB? Well, like the kids I met at the University of Missouri, you can make your own. Or you can go to www.impeachthemotherfuckeralready.com. (To the cyber squatter sitting on www.itmfa.com: be a decent sort and let me have that URL, please.) At www.impeachthemotherfuckeralready.com you’ll find out how you can order ITMFA buttons, tasteful lapel pins, and other gear (profits go to the American Civil Liberties Union), and I’ll be posting letters about ITMFA there (to prevent the column from being swamped), along with pictures of people wearing ITMFA merch (official or DIY).
With the santorum campaign, I set a goal: forcing Senator Rick Santorum to wrap his tiny mind around the disgusting new definition of his name. And we succeeded beyond our wildest dreams — not only has Santorum been forced to discuss santorum, but the term has entered the sexual lexicon. Similarly, I want to set a goal for ITMFA. It’s not a word for the ages, it’s just a slogan, like WIN, or “Whip Inflation Now” (ask your parents), for this political moment. So here’s our goal: I not only want to see ITMFA spread all over the country, I also want to see a sitting member of the US House or Senate wearing one of my tasteful ITMFA lapel pins on C-SPAN or a Sunday-morning political show.
Guess what? Some folks felt my advice for The Good Son, the man whose mother fucked him when he was 15 years old, was, like, complete and utter crap. Lots of responses are up at www.thestranger.com/savage/TGS.
