Why does the buckle look like a Russian hammer & sickle?
December 26, 2007 at 8:48 am
According to Frank, it’s a Russian Army belt buckle. I guess you could call it an “artifact” from Russia’s days fighting in Afghanistan. I’m sure he will provide additional details.

I am so proud of myself! When I saw it last night, I had a long list of smart, um, aleck comments I was tempted to make, but it was Christmas, and I decided to be nice.
But today’s the day after Christmas, so is it OK now to say I can’t think of a better gift for a liberal?

Nice shot, Opie. (rimshot!)
Just leave out who obtained it, how it was obtained, and why he is there.
One thing that puzzles me. Communism is dead, Dead, DEAD! Yet, wingnuts still think that calling someone a “Commie” is some kind of viable insult.
How come?
Aside: He called tonight. He’s still alive.

“One thing that puzzles me. Communism is dead, Dead, DEAD! Yet, wingnuts still think that calling someone a “Commie†is some kind of viable insult.
How come?”
Well first of all, to eliminate any confusion, they aren’t the same wingnuts as the ones who think “racist” is a viable insult for someone they don’t even know, but at the same time don’t want to see any cars built by yellow-skinned people parked in their union headquarters parking lot. Those are different wingnuts.
And second of all… I forgot second of all.
