Let's have another go at this. We have a slew of product suggestions from an earlier run-through. How's this ???
What you got for ideas ??? Classic Netrootsy lines ?
AnotherMassachusettsLiberal and I worked out a plan for doing twin Zazzle dot com pages. Items related to dkos personalities or using the logo should go on the main page. The term "Fuckstick" is an appropriate dividing line.
We also see room for a Krazy Kossack page that offers the wilder "Fuckstick" and krazier items. Profits to DailyKos dot com.
How's about a solid line-drawing of our Big Dog and his pet vampire squid ? Decoration on a hoodie? Or how's about as a plush toy?
We know we want Bill Harnsberger (in Portland ME) as a plush toy !!
Who you like for Kossack hero worship ?????
The current store is available by clicking "Shirts" at the bottom of DailyKos pages. Six shirts in odd sizes, a water bottle, and the less said the better. It brings in no money. Zip.

And here's AnotherMasssachusettsLiberal again. These definitely get the Krazy Kossack treatment for sale:
First item is up:
Test color-change mug for Krazy Kossack
We got a number of product suggestions:
-- Actually anything similar to the Rachel Roy tee-shirt done for Obama
-- The Spinning Vase as image or as a funeral urn
-- "I was a Progressive when we were FemiNazis and Idiots."
-- MB's squid
-- A fishgrease talking dictionary
-- Anything to do with "Mr. Bus"
-- Winerev's book, "Recounting Minnesota"
-- WineRev as a plush toy
-- Hunter's Romney diary
-- A George Rockwell Menorah
-- edscam... product broken pre-shipping
-- "Member of the vast left-wing conspiracy"
We're figuring on there being a couple hundred interesting items to offer. Design by volunteers. $10,000 a year minimum yield. High end more like $50,000.
Both pages have their uses and their target audiences.
Krazy Kossack won't get the big sales numbers, but it'll be fun. (Personally, I like anything that feeds 'em shit-pie) "NRA-Loving Gun-Sucking Baby Killers" on a coffee mug does fine to fill my 2013 Christmas list.
The main page needs cooperation with Kos and the team. AnotherMassachusettsLiberal and I can handle doing the Krazy Kossack page. Volunteer work will be the key to developing a wide range of items for both sites.
What you like, folks ?
