Vintage Red's latest contribution to our closet is inspired by world travels, beers in Bali, and long laughs shared with "citizens of the world." It is a meeting of the travel inspired and the classically western, and it fits nicely.

Their Spring '08 line consists of three collections that are as distinct as they are similar. Tricky, that. They are split into Military Neutrals, Coastal Living, and South of France, respectively, and while there are the occasional pair of shorts or printed t-shirts, the majority of the line is button up shirts, both short sleeves and long.

No, I don't want to ban t-shirts with a message, unless it is something I disagree with. Why would I want to read that? Ban T-Shirts is the name of the company and their shirts have some very strong messages, most of which I wouldn't dream of banning.

The shirts are designed with progressive messages that concern the issues of the day: the environment, democracy, freedom, war and peace (not Tolstoy). Most of the designs are printed on organic cotton American Apparel shirts and none are made in sweatshops, although I can't guarantee that sweat was not present at some time during the process.

The company is proud of its righteous attitude and claims to be deconstructing society, shirt by shirt. They also make no apologies about not providing all sides on the issues. They feel that the right is wrong and only make shirts with messages that they believe in. That's called not selling out. Besides, who the hell wants to wear shirts that are anti-environment, freedom and peace? Don't answer that. Ban it.

Prince Harry has safely returned home from the war but that doesn't mean he's done talking about it. Last Saturday the young, handsome royal was spotted out wearing a t-shirt that had the words, "Taliban Hill Fighter?" across his chest.

Some people said it may have been a spoof on a Tommy Hilfiger design, but when Mr. Hilfiger was called for comment he said he had not seen the t-shirt and therefore had nothing to say.

Personally, I think t-shirts that make a statement are great! They get what would otherwise be a taboo subject, out into the open right away. While wearing this t-shirt, there will be no Afghan elephants in the room with Prince Harry.

If you're so political that you want to make sure people know where you stand -- even while walking around in your pajamas -- then Stubbs and Wootton have the slippers for you!

Their classic design with velvet black and a black heel and sole as well, can now be embroidered in gold with either the republican or democratic party symbols -- an elephant and a donkey, respectively.

But, being outspoken is going to cost you. These slippers will set you back $395.00. Forget getting them as a Christmas gift, maybe it's better that Grandpa buys these bad boys for himself!

If you're not 95 years old and are looking for a significantly cheaper (and hipper) way to share your views with the world, Urban Outfitters has t-shirts for under $30 that are way more fun than these slippers! Browse the gallery to see if they have anything that fits your political leanings.

My personal favorite says, "Screw the war, let's dance." Because really, wouldn't the world be a better place if we all took the time to stop and smell the roses get down and boogie every once in a while?
