We haven't discussed t-shirts in some time, and that's not because we're over them, but rather we thought we had covered them all. We stand corrected. In fact you might say we "loiter" corrected, especially if you like puns and society doesn't generally find you very funny.

We've all seen a lot of Obama fashions this year, from bumper stickers to underwear. These two dresses (by Rodarte and Castelbajac) were spotted on the runway in ready-to-wear collections in Paris in October. Now, a clothier in Bosnia has launched a line of fine suits named - what else? - Obama.

It would be easier to find Waldo in a sea of clones than a McCain/Palin t-Shirt on the back of a fashion-forward celebrity (trust us, we looked -- and the options were slim to none!). Of course, there was Elizabeth Hasselbeck in her bright red "AmeriCaine" tee and the vocally-Republican Hollywood lovebirds Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt -- who were spotted in McCain/Palin shirts.

Last night Michele Obama took a break from the Presidential campaign trail and made an appearance on the Jay Leno show. She talked about her husband Barack's ailing grandmother, Toots, and her daughter's lack of awe for his upcoming 30 minute T.V. special. But the big news was her stylishly cheery yellow ensemble.

We've always been intrigued by Hidalgo stackable rings, even if they are a trifle ornate to wear with our daily blogging attire of sweats and bunny slippers. But their latest design might be the final blow to our stubborn resistance: Obama and McCain name rings.

Aubrey O'Day's pooch, Ginger, has a full event calender -- in fact that puppy's social life is probably way more happening than ours or yours! The lead singer of Danity Kane doesn't go anywhere without her dog -- including to nightclubs, fashion shows and red carpet events. Yet, she still gets mad when people compare her to Paris Hilton.

Many people watching the debate last night were surprised to see John McCain jerk at thumb at Obama and refer to his democratic rival as "That One". Post-debate the analysts are still trying to figure out if McCain meant it as a pejorative, if he forgot Obama's name and awkwardly tried to cover a senior moment, or if it was simply another of the (many) wince-worthy jokes that McCain scattered through his performance.

If Gene Simmons of KISS knows anything, aside from being a rock god, it's how to make a profit. The guy will put his likeness, or Paul Stanley's apparently, onto anything. That's not a criticism, he's rich and we're sitting here typing our fingers to the bone. We'd like to put our likeness on some stuff, too. Rich looks good.

Speaking of looking good, check out these t-shirts (that, dear reader, is a segue). KISS has taken the popular images of presidential hopefuls John McCain and Barack Obama and given them a bit of a makeover. Or makeup as the case may be.

Political t-shirts? So over. Your candidate on underwear? Yes-ter-day! The newest cool way to show your support is to emblazon your candidate across a pair of Keds.

Through the magic of digital print on demand, Zazzle.com lets you put pretty much any picture on any item and sell it through their online marketplace.

Taking advantage of this technology, dozens of enthusiastic Obama supporters have customized Keds with their artistic interpretation of his likeness.

Mr. McCain also has a selection of shoes that bear his likeness, although we must admit that his supporters are both more traditional and more conservative.

We love a comfy skimmer as much as the next girl, but we're not sure how well this political statement translates into a fashion statement. At least they're easier to change than a bumper sticker.

In the gallery, see what the "shoe designers" came up with for your candidate.

Did you know that there is a political thingy going on right now? The details are iffy at the moment, but apparently some people are thinking about electing a new president. Politics are hawt.

They are also fashionable. Political t-shirts are all the rage at the moment, they are everywhere and on everyone.

Except baby. Who put baby in the corner? Sure, politics can be ugly, but put them on a kid and they're cute (at least to like-minded individuals).

We're watching: The Democratic National Convention
We're wearing: Pantsuits (as part of the "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pantsuits")
We're eating: Home made apple pie
We're drinking: The Kool Aid
We're thinking: Seriously, Hillary...orange?
Not over it: David Duchovny has been having more sex than a dirty politician

Remember when the Obama and Clinton ticket was rumored to be the hot item of the fall? Well, it's not. Obama picked Joe Biden (an announcement mistaken by many as a possible booty call) as his running mate for the 2008 election and t-shirts across America went on clearance.

That's what happens in the world of political t-shirts, high risk and high reward. We do think it interesting that the clearance price at Perez Hilton's little boutique is still sixteen bucks (that's an $8 savings!). How is that a clearance price? We like our clearance items to be priced in single digits.

ThoseShirts.com does something unlike any other t-shirt company we've covered. They make Republicans funny. Actually, quite a few of the t-shirt companies have made Republicans funny, but ThoseShirts.com are laughting with the right, not at them. We know, we didn't think it could be done either.

What, you may ask, does a goat wear? To which we would reply, it depends where it's going. Are we talking business casual? Then, after we were all done laughing and things started to turn a little awkward we'd add, we're not talking about real goats, dummy.
No, we aren't. We're talking about Goats the comic strip by Jonathan Rosenberg and the subsequent line of t-shirts that it spawned.

If you've ever thought to yourself "Man that Obama... he is one foxy guy," then you and Donatella Versace are on the same page.
