It's official...the bar is so low, it's laying on the ground
Un-frigging-believable. Even stupid people have money to spend.
Get the Desert Hat That Helped Us Win
America won the war in Iraq, and for a time, it seemed that our greatest enemy was not Saddam’s loyalists but Mother Nature.
As American and coalition combat troops moved relentlessly north across the barren Iraqi desert, they were met with stiff resistance from fierce sandstorms, an unvanquished sun and extreme heat.
The answer to these elements was the Desert Camouflage Hat – known in Army lingo as the desert boonie hat. You can now get your own Desert Camouflage Hat, the same one worn by Army and Marine Corps combat troops in Iraq
...and speaking of stupid people:
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld on Wednesday played down recent deadly attacks on Americans in Iraq (news - web sites), equating those losses with everyday violence in large U.S. cities
Attacks and accidents have killed about 50 American troops — including about a dozen from hostile fire — since major combat was officially declared over on May 1. Between March 20, when the war started, and May 1, 138 Americans died from accidents or hostile fire.
[snip...]
While the deaths of U.S. troops generate "a deep sorrow," Rumsfeld said, he believes the American people feel the sacrifices are worthwhile.
"They recognize the difficulty of the task," Rumsfeld said. "You got to remember that if Washington, D.C., were the size of Baghdad, we would be having something like 215 murders a month. There's going to be violence in a big city." Rumsfeld noted that Baghdad has nearly six million residents.
Still, Rumsfeld added, "It tends not to be, at this stage, random killings. ... What you're seeing instead is what we believe is purposeful attacks against coalition forces, as opposed to simply crime and that type of thing."
Why hasn't someone smacked him across the face with a pillowcase full of horseshit?
Yeah, there's a lot of those rocket-launched grenade murders out front of the Georgetown Brentano's every Saturday night.
Just when you think that John Ashcroft is the slimiest Republican to crawl out of the primordial ooze, up comes the smell of swamp gas from an oily gas bubble followed by the lizard-eyed Donald Rumsfeld as he slithers onto the shore.
(Update): More on the Lizaed King at the Daily Kos and at the Whiskey Bar. I think we're all on the same page on this one.
