Clint,

Include a data-url attribute in the <a> element. It will get wrapped in a
t.co but the user will still hit the arst.ch domain.

<a href="http://twitter.com/share"; class="twitter-share-button" data-url="
http://arst.ch/xyz"; data-count="vertical"
data-via="abraham">Tweet</a><script type="text/javascript" src="
http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";></script>
