Miss Doodle Mae: "Jojo and I had a very deep conversation during some down time at his discount dollar store. We talked about the conflict in the Middle East, the Iraq War, bad economy and a world in turmoil. In the words of one of Nurse Tootie McBride's favorite rappers named Humpty (pronounced with an Umpty) from the group Digital Underground: spite, doubt, despair, frustration and hatred are all around the world, same song.
"Then Jojo brought up the subject of the president-elect. He made this profound statement: 'Seems like some folk who rode on the bandwagon of hope and change are making the journey to better days very unpleasant.'
"So Jojo has decided to have an 'Encourage the President T-Shirt' sale. He has thousands of clean and colorful T-shirts with a picture of our new president on the front, and a motivating slogan on the back. One of the slogans is: 'For God's Sake, We need a financial bailout for the people.' Another slogan reads: 'We got your back, Pres.' Our most popular T-shirt slogan is: 'Broke folk back the stimulus plan!'
"Jojo's goal is to inspire the masses to encourage each other and our new president. Jojo's Discount Dollar Store thanks Aunt Tee Tee Hustle for the T-shirt design (courtesy her new computer graphic design software) and those catchy slogans.
"Remember: Everything's a dollar at Jojo's! The historical T-shirt is $5.99."
