    *****Quote of the day******

    In case you were too lazy to make it to our website to read the quote of the day,
    here it is:

    "We are patriotic citizens too. Patriotism means 'love of country',
    caring about its people, its ecosystem, and others around us. Not
    giving blind loyalty and a blank check to George W. Bush. We are
    patriotic enough to care about the long term effects instead of just
    the short term gain. Therefore it is our patriotic duty to guard our
    country and our constitution against people and forces hiding behind
    the flag."

    Jello Biafra - excerpt from The Big Ka-Boom, Vol. 1

    *****Postage Rates Go Up This Weekend

    On June 30 the United States Post office are raising its rates. That
    means our mailorder shipping rates will go up as well. Our postage
    calculator works by weight (as opposed to how many items you are
    buying) so our postage increases will merely reflect those increases
    by the USPS.(i.e. we are not making any more money)

    Also, International rates will NOT be effected.

    Should you want to save a few cents, we recommend you order stuff
    BEFORE Monday July 1st to save on shipping.

    In fact, a big clothing sale is in effect, so now is a good time to
    take advantage of all of that.
