What all the cool chickenhawks will be wearing this summer.
Edited on Wed May-10-06 12:30 PM by tjwash


From Newsmax.
Exclusive: NewsMax.com is proud to offer the U.S. military’s Desert Camouflage Hat – the same hat worn during Operation Iraqi Freedom by our combat troops and embedded journalists.

Now you can get these rugged military-grade hats for your own pleasure.

These hats were designed for military specifications, to provide excellent sun protection and comfort under extreme heat and sun conditions.



Better yet, if any chickenhawks out there reading this really REALLY want one, you can pick up one of those snappy little article's here...

4. I was hoping for prison stripes, myself
Is that black kid blind, like the David Chappelle white supremacist character, who didn't know he was black??? Or is he Condi and George's secret love child?

who hopes to have a career after this one-off extremely bad idea. He concealed his identity - those other models are done - they'll wait tables the rest of their modeling "careers".

12. Patton Oswald said something that cracked me up the other day...
Edited on Wed May-10-06 12:40 PM by tjwash
...that's in the same vein as this:

"Anybody should be able to buy a Hummer. Just after they sign the papers, clonk them on the back of the neck with a sock full of quarters. Then let them wake up in Iraq, and tell them "oh, nobody told you that you had to come out here and get the gas yourself?"

11. Used to call those boonie caps
Only they were green instead of Khaki. Mostly only worn by LRRPs or SS.
