At the Front - New Items

2009 Holiday Specials

For the Thanksgiving/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Christmas/Winter Solstice holidays, we're going to make like other retail merchants and do some special things. No, I'm not making a short bus joke. I said "things" not "people". That's for another time.

Free Shipping: Thru 31 December, 2009, we are offering free UPS Ground shipping on all domestic orders of $150 or more shipped to the lower 48 States. Orders over 10 pounds may incur a surcharge. So if you were fretting about paying shipping for Jesus' Birthday or the Gap...now you don't have to. Does not apply to ebay listings or exchanges.

Free Insignia Sewing: No charge to sew insignia or awards on uniforms until 2010. This applies only to new uniforms and insignia purchased from us. Sewing charges will still apply if you want us to sew stuff on your HK Harry outfit. Alterations are not free. Also, the 30% restock fee to all "sewn" returns or exchanges still applies. Once we sew patches on a uniform, it and the patches instantly becomes "used". So, please be absolutely certain of the model, size and insignia you actually need or it'll cost you. See the Insignia Sewing page for more details.

Delay Advisory! This sewing offer will cause a back up in our sewing department. So, there will be unavoidable delays in shipping uniforms having stuff sewn on. 3-5 business days on average. Plan on an extra week. Don't worry, the Gap isn't for a couple of months. I think we can manage that. Demanding "overnight" shipping won't speed up the sewing- only the delivery once it gets done.

The Rant

Pitbull Piss-ant

When the going gets tough, the whiners run for cover. And blame everyone but themselves. How in the hell did McCain pick that dingy broad? Are the people who make up the Republican party really the backward, ignorant hillbillys that the liberals make them out to be? Why does anyone pay attention to anything the moose mom says. She's an imbecile. "Going Rogue" is a bit pretentious and overblown. "Anybody's Fault But Mine" would be more like it.

When they announced her as the VP choice, like everyone else, I said "who the hell is she?" Within a week, when it was obvious they had a short leash and a tight muzzle on her, I knew McCain was toast. Sure enough, as soon as they let wonder woman speak, she sank the boat. But, like herpes, she keeps popping back up every few months to aggravate everything again. In case it has escaped the rant fans, one of my biggest pet peeves is failure to own up to your screw ups. She spends the majority of her time pointing fingers to excused her lame performance. Apparently her twitter was so grievously injured by the naughty things posted about her that she could no longer govern. "Pitbull" my ass. A sniveling cocker spaniel is more like it.

Spouting folksy common sense and being in the church choir do not make you presidential material in themselves. According to throngs of female Republicans last Fall, her repeated encounters with her hubby's baby-gravy were the most amazing thing since sliced bread and this common ground led them to the apparently logical conclusion that she was an obvious choice to lead the free world. My dilemma is this- McCain, Obama and I all have similar reproductive organs so how does this help me to choose? Life is so complicated...

So, the moms thought she was Jesus in heels because she had been knocked up, and the rednecks thought she had great tits- and she likes guns so this made her "compelling". It's like impressing UT football fans- paint it orange and add a white "T" and they start hollering and piss all over themselves with excitement. Not that they have bladder control issues- they just get too drunk to find the bathroom.

Her presence on the ticket caused more people I've encountered to vote for Obama (as a protest) than I ever imagined possible. Including at least a dozen gun dealers- and that's an accomplishment. It's approaching half of the people I know who I thought surely would have voted Republican. All agreed that she is so ignorant as to be dangerous- literally. McCain isn't the healthiest guy and I would be not in the least bit surprised if that chick were to wake up to announce that Moses came to her in a dream and told her to nuke Brazil- as payback for them bombing a place in Nebraska called Pearl Harbor. There was no conspiracy to discredit her, despite hers and Rush Limbaugh's claims to the contrary. All the other side had to do was sit back let her babble. I don't know whether any VP candidate could have resulted in a Republican victory last Fall, but she was a gift to the Obama campaign.

The lack of any vestige of common sense of our people is appalling. Fat, lazy...desire has become an occupation. Ignorance and boorish behavior is rewarded. The Springer show becomes the norm, thugs demand respect, and soldiers are prosecuted for killing the enemy. And now a twit who thinks Jesus rode a T.Rex to work and who probably can't find Russia on a map is pushed as presidential material. What the hell were they thinking???

The current choice is bad enough, but at least he is intelligent and has a slick operation- it's somewhat understandable why people bought his spiel. But electing Ms. Deer-in-the-headlights to any office higher than the town softball council is...well....a sign of the times. We are getting what we deserve.

People are already upset with me because I'm down on hot-pants Palin. Sorry, but I'm stumped at how anyone can find her to be even remotely qualified for national office. Watch an interview with her- it's obvious that she has no depth of knowledge- she struggles with the script she's memorized and as soon as the topic strays from what she's been tutored on the night before, she's totally lost. Paris Hilton is more coherent in conversation. Palin may be a total sweetheart and a great person, but she's not presidential material. If she would just admit she was too inexperienced last Fall I'd give her some credit. But it's blame game 101. Whoever vetted her should be banned from political consulting and Rush needs to see a shrink. Moreover, her brand of politics is going to split the opposition to Obamanomics just when that's the last thing we need right now. That's why I'm really ticked. Please get somebody capable up front before it's too late. She's not it.

Inappropriate for a rant? Naw. I like stirring the pot...
