Did I just say supporters? I wonder whether they will sell supporters/jockstraps as part of their kitsch. I really shouldn't give them ideas.

mean for that to sound like an accusation. It just makes it all the more incredible that they were not aware of the optics of this. As always, can't make this stuff up ...

when some liberals wore U.S. themed shirts _"Damn hippie liberals desecrating the flag" - now this. Unbelievable. That is just tacky, sad, degrading and disrespectful.

12. Yes, Balls Enough

Yes, balls enough to get multiple deferments from the Vietnam War while other young men went to the war and were wounded and died. Balls enough to years after the war ended claim his years of sleeping around during the war was the same as if he and gone to war. Balls enough to say that he had always seen himself as having served in the military because of his time spent at a military themed prep school. Balls enough to claim that due to his time at his elite prep school he believed he had received more military training than the people who had actually joined the military. Finally, balls enough to not want to shake people's hands, or be touched by people because one is a germaphobe.
