Just in time for his return to the headlines, Julian Assange is now available as a T-shirt ... or a tote bag, baseball cap, or button. WikiLeaks has opened a gift shop.

Click through the slideshow above for a sampling of the offerings. The website says 100 percent of the proceeds go to WikiLeaks, and that all designs are from WikiLeaks, offering a "contact us" email with the domain wikileaks.de

Assange cited his $360,000 bail this morning in a public statement and has said in the past that his legal fees exceed $300,000, so he'll have to sell a lot of umbrellas. Yes, there are umbrellas, too.

Mashable notes, however, that Assange will be getting a hefty sum for his forthcoming autobiography. Assange, says he agreed to the book idea reluctantly out of financial duress, but he may just have a little scratch left over.

If Paris Hilton can do it, why can't an outlaw anarchist turn fame into fortune?
