One Horse Shy: Where shirt meets politics

Whit Honea is a slacker, a borderline degenerate, and a daydream believer. He's also our resident expert on casual chic. If it's comfortable, and not heinous, he's all over it. He's quite charming, really."They" always say that one should never discuss politics. Look what that got us. Discuss politics, people! "They" need to speak up.
One company that isn't shy, despite their name, is One Horse Shy, but that may be because they "pander to everyone," or at least those of us that enjoy a witty t-shirt.
In case you're wondering where a t-shirt (and other goods) company gets a name like One Horse Shy (we were), here is your answer:
The name OneHorseShy is a variation on a quote from the Sergio Leone spaghetti western Once Upon A Time In The West. The classic opening sequence shows three bad guys waiting for our hero, who arrives by train. Now there are four men, but only three horses. "Looks like we're shy one horse," the bad guy snickers. Our hero responds, "You brought two too many." And the shooting begins!
There you go, straight from the shy horse's mouth.
